State Engineer Coming

Appljcation has been made by the
Bayfield, County Taxpayers league
to the State Highway commission to
have a state engineer sent here tn
look after the road work to be done
in Bayfield, county this season. The
highway commission have promised
to send a man here this week to look
over the proposed highways, and as
soon as this has been done an expert
enced road builder will be engaged
to construct the roads.
Taxpayers generally are rather
disappointed in the way roads have
been constructed in Bayfield, County
ia the past. In the past four years
over $50, 900 has been expended on
the county highway system and the
results have been far from satisfac-
tory. Today there is hardly a good
road in the county and the taxpay-
ers are highly dissatisfied. The
county has voted to bond itself for
an additional $780, 900 this year with
which to build roads and the total
of the amount to be expenped will
be about $62, 900. Great care should
be exercised in the expenditure of
this large amount OF money and the
committee should see to it that
competent road builders are put in
charge Of the work.
