MONEY WILL Go ON ROADS

The new road law, prepared hur-
riedly here last week, is now before
the Legislature, and will probably be
passed this week. The provisions of
the law are such that it is believed
that much money will be saved to the
county, and will go into roads, that
has heretofore gone elsewhere.
The object of the bill, or one of its
objects, is to take the road construc-
tion and repairing in the county out
of politics-place it upon a business
basis, in order that full value will be
received for all money spent. 1t is
believed that saving to the county
will result from the operations of the
new law.
