By Supervisor Peterson.
To His Excellency, The Governor
and the Honorable, the mem
bers of the Senate and Assem-
bly,:
Whereas, The building of better
roads is one of most important and
vital problems in the material pro-
gress of nearly every state in the
Union.
Whereas, 1t is recognized that good
roads will aid more in the material
welfare of the farmer and settler
than any other one thing the State
can do.
Whereas, Rusk County has found
from actual experience, under the
County Road system, that the best
results in scientific road construc-
ton can be obtained under the super
vision of competent engineers. There
fore be it
Resolved, That we recommend and
urge the passage of State Road law,
which will aid the town and county
in building it's roads by paying one
half of the cost of road work and
joining in it's supervision with the
town and county as to the material
and kind of road to be built.
Further, We commend the State
Road Department for the excellent
services they have already rendered
under the management of Messrs.
