State Highway Commission and
a State Highway Engineeri :

State Highway Commission and
a State Highway Engineeri Z
Ans. Our people are opposed
to the creation of any more offic-
es. 1t is thought that there is
sufficient road talent at home.
The department of Public Roads
at Washington d. C. and the fac
ulty of the Agricultural College
are always ready to give advice
and assistance on the subjects. >
Question 9. Do you favor any
State Road >Buildingi :
Ans. No.
Question 10. Why appoint a
lot of extra committees to do the
work the Agricultural College
could dot
Ans. The meeting is radically
opposed to the appointment OF
committees of any kind.
At the request of a member Of
the meeting a vote was taken on
1.-THE question of the. Connty Ass
sor.
By unanimous vote 1t was de-
cided that a County Assessor
is not needed.
Very truly yours,
F. G. MCKINNEY,
Secretary.

= The following in a brief re-
port of the proceedings of a pub
lie meeting held at the court
house, Great Bend, Kansas, Jan.
9, on the subject of Needed
Road Legislation"
The meeting was called at the
request of Supt. jill. Miller of
Manhattan who submitted the fol
lowing questions for discussion.
Question l.. Is S. per year
enough to pay for dragging a
mile of road ten timesg
Ans. Our meeting decided tina
the law should be changed So
that pay could be increased. It
requires four horses and a man
to run a road drag and at least
two round trips at "a time. Ten.
such double round trips equals
forty miles.
Question 2. Should road dis-
tricts be larger?
Ans. There was a difference of
opinion, but the majority favor
ed larger road districts, We be-
lleve that township funds should
be in the hands of the township
board, to be used by them where
most needed.
Question 8. Should pay for
road work be increased?
Ans. Yes. The pay at presen
is too small to get good work.
Question 4. Do farmers favor
the building of concrete or stone
culverts?
Ans. Yes. Some favored vitri-
fled brick culverts,
Question 5. Would it be advis
able to permit the forming of
Highway Districts, of five
miles or more, overlapping pres
ent road districts, for the pur-
pose Of building more or less
permanent roads or main lines
of travel?
Ans. Give the board of county
commissioners power to make a
tax levy on all of the property
of the county, for the purpose
of improving all main roads or
roads requiring great deal Of
work in addition to the road
work done by the different towr
ships. In other words let the
main thOrOughfares be kept in
repair by the county and let the
townships look after all other
roads.
Question 6. Do you favor max
ing the county surveyor the
County Engineer and the cOun-
ty commissioners the County
Road Commissioner .c
! Ans. We do not think a cOun
ty engineer is needed and also
think that no road commission
is required, ether than the coun-
ty commissioners. .
Question 7. Do you favor a
large county road tax for tn
county bridge and road work?
Ans. This question was not
considered.
Question 8, Do you favor a

Larned's Mail to be Delivered

Postmaster F. W. johnson, in
his report of the past three quar-
ters of the present fiscal year,
finds that the RECEIPTS of the
Larned office have reached So
1856. This means that only ST.,
214O4 of business need be done
in the next three months, or I'M
til March 81. 1909, in order to
make up the $4,000 required to
make the Larned office a free de
livery office. As the highest
quarter of the past year amount
ed to $1,000, it is absolutely GER
tain that the $4,000 mark will
be easily overshOt.
