AS to Working the Roads.

The method pursued by the au-
thorities in working the roads of the
county does not seem to be popular.
Messrs. G. E. Hutto and J. W. Hill
were in our Office last Saturday af-
ternoon and were outspoken in
their disapproval of the way in
which the communication road tax is
being spent. Mr.. Hutto says if the
road tax collected in his township
could be turned over to the reliable
citizens of that township that they
would see that better results were
obtained for the money spent. There
is no charge that the money is being
wrongfully spent, but it is claimed
that the method of employing an
oyerseer in each township who works
only a small gang of hands is too
expensive and runs into too much
money for the pay of overseers. We
had intended to get some facts and
figures in regard to the fund this
week, but have been too busy. IN
Justice to the county board we want
ed to publish the number of hands
in each road gang and the number OF
days they had worked, and how
much had been paid for overseers,
etc., in each township. Possibly II
these facts are made public those
who now oppose the present method
of spending this money will realize
that none of it is being wasted.
Greater publicity in our county af-
fairs would we believe do away with
much dissatisfaction in many in
stances, for often no doubt the tax
payers are dissatisfied because they
are not in possession of the facts.
In order to allay any dissatisfac-
ton and to secure the best results
in this road matter, We would sug-
gest to the county board that il
might be we'll to confer with the
largest tax payers and best business
men of each township before pro-
ceeding further. We are not trying
to attend to their business, under,
stand, and we only suggest this that
the most good may come from the
expenditure of this money and criti-
cism kept down.
