accomplished.
The county's liberal appropriation
and the committees judicious selection
of machinery has made it possible to
greatly improve the construction of
permanent roads and culverts
During the year there has been built
IN Grant county 71a miles, or 2,400 rods
of macadamized highway at a cost of
$10.75 per rod,-S9,44O per mile.
The past year has been an extremely
