If you are to have system of good

system of road administration be

The excessive width of your roads
is one OF the principle. causes of their

in the river and in numerous banks,
particularly on the south side of the
Grand river. If this gravel were broken
to proper sizes and bituminous binder
used, most excellent roads could be
built. Such roads would probably cost
So. 900 to $1,000 per mile, depend
ing upon tie distance the material
would have TO be hauled and the nature
of the soil. More material, per mile of
road, would be needed on the adobe
sections than on the sections through
the sandy soils.
| Without doubt the most practical and
satisfactory way to secure the money
to build these roads would be to issue
the bonds of the county or of an i'm
provement district. Such bonds issued
for a term of twenty years and bearing
/ interest at the rate of four per cent
would be readily sold and the payment
of them would not prove an excessive
burden upon the taxpayer.
The present condition of the roads in
dicates that the money now supplied
for the improvement and the mainte-
nance of the roads is not spent to the
best advantage. The present tax levied
to meet the expense of maintaining the
roads and bridges of the county. is 5
mills. The revenue derived from this
tax levy for the year 1908 was about
S3l. 500, of which amount probably S20,-
900 was available for road purposes. In
addition to this each male inhabitant
outside the corporate limits of the
cities and towns, between p and 40
years of age, pays each year two dollars
in cash or performs two days labor or

ent system the county is divided into
for each district is appointed by the
board of county commissioners. The
county commissioners are general su-
pervisors over all the roads and bridges
of the county, and that they can give
but little time to them is certain when
we consider the other county affairs
that demand their attention and that
their compensation is not such as to
justify them in giving their whole time
to the county's business. Therefore,
the sixteen road overseers receive but
little assistance in their road work from
the board of commissioners. Few, if
any, of the road overseers are skilled
road-builders, and not having the ad-
vice of our so-skilled. the result is that
