URGES CHANGES
IN ROAD BUILDING
Throckmorton Thinks Tuesdays
Election Showed Public
Dissatisfaction.

Taking the position that the vote of
Tuesday on the proposed new road
law for Henrico, notwithstanding the
defeat of the proposition. indicates
clearly that the people are not salts
fled with the present system. C. w.
Throckmorton, the patron of the meas
ure, calls on the Board of Supervisors
to employ competent road superinr
tendent This official according to his
ideas, should have the management of
road building in the county under the
direction of the supervisors, would do
the buying employ the help he deemed
necessary, and present his bills to
the board for audit and payment. Thus
he would be responsible on his bond
for his good conduct and manage
ment.
There has been complaint" said Mr.
Throckmorton yesterday for long
time about the working OF the roads
in the county. and the vote of Tues
day shows how the people feel about
will deny that the cause of the defeat
of the bill was the fact that the road
commissioners were to be appointed in
stead OF elected. Four tifths of the
objections TO the. proposition We're
based on that feature
Favored Election.
Il have all along been in favor of
the election of the road board and
got a bill through the House of Dele
gates in 1908 providing for their cleo
ton.
"This measure was held up in the
Senate at the request of parties who
were Interested in changing the road
law. upon the promise, SO 1 was in
formed, that the Board of Supervisors
would appoint county superintendent
Nh It.sh off n..f ssst.u gfzr Int
ed The bill which met defeat last
was something of compro
mise measure, arranged so that
thought the people would be pro-
tccted
Now. If the supervisors wish TO
carry out the desire of the people. they
Will at once employ competent road
superintendent, put him under bond
and put him in charge of road building
under them. There would then be no
especial need for change in the law,
as the superintendent would be forced
TO do his best and would he RESPONSE
BILE on his bond. l hope the super
visors will consider this suggestion
and adopt 1t.
But whether they do so or not, the
people have left the matter In their
hands, and it Is our duty as good
citizens to accept the result cheerfully
and to Cooperate in every way pos
sible with the supervisors to have our
roads put and kept in the best posi-
bic shape, aud TO maintain Henrico
in the position of the banner county
In the State.
II wish to thank the newspapers OF
this city for bringing the matter to
the attention of the people. so that
they might know to vote upon the
question. Also my friends who work
ed for the adoption of the law To
my friends who did not think as 1
did. | raise my hat and say that they
are good fghters"
