Road Commissioner Charles p. Light is
laying plans Tor meeting OF the county
road engineers Of each Of the ffty-five

or Parkersburg will be selected.
The new road law enacted by the last
legislature makes many changes in the
work OF building and keeping IN repair
the roads throughout the State that will
require thoughtful consideration, espe-
cially by those who are intrusted with
tire responsibility OF improving the road
system Of the State. The changes in the
law are not very well understood by the
people, and the read surveyors now in
charge Of the various districts Of the
counties are az sea as to their duties.
Under the new law the construction
and maintenance OF the roads will be
under the supervision Of the county
court and the county road engineer. The
court may appoint q superintendent for
each district, who shall, under the direc-
ton Of the county court and the county
road engineer. devote his entire time and
attention 10 the work or SO much as the
county court may direct and shall re-
ceive as compensation for his services
not less than s. per day, or the prevailing
wages OF his county for such work, TO
be determined by the county court.
