We had hoped that the dirt roads in
the Bird and 9th Election Districts would
be rounded up before another winter,
and in time to get good and solid for
travel. 1t now looks as though the
middle Of the roads, in many places,
will act as a ditch TO carry off the
water. and make it exceedingly pleas
ant (?) for the farmers TO drive and
haul through. AS the road supervisor
is employed on the stone road. why not
get another to work on the dirt roads
