WastefuI ADMINISTRATION.

II will show YOU by figures that the

is wasteful-eXtravagant Because we
have no system of maintaining our roads,

roads they have built have been main

the roads they now have has been not

this country is wOefully inefficient. Some
states have awakened and have passed

Pennsylvania there are 2O00 counties and
townships I don't know the figures for
the whole country. but 1t is safe to say
that there are 10000 road officials in the

touched upon the increase in property val
