Now is the time to get at the work and the people should leave nothing undone in the way of better ing road conditions. Everybody is interested in this subject and no one will miss the few dollars that will be needed from each one to make up the pool for the building of the roads. The gentlemen composing the board : are favorable to road building, but the county IS restricted to the use of the funds that are collected for the purpose and cannot go the limit that they would like to in the matter. Every business man and every mine owner in the county is interested in the building of good roads and each and every one should come in with their contributions:to the cause. p
