such was the case with them. Their

Respectfully submitted,
W. A. ROBERTS,

F. E. ANaovE,

We, the committee appointed as
a good road committee at the time
of the commencement OF the work
on the Floyd bill road submit the
following report:
On account of the severe weather
lduring last fall, the work was re.
tarded more or less and it was found
Impossible to complete the road and
make it passable before the weather
became so Indictment and so much
frost in the ground al to make work
of that sort too expensive to carry on
In view of this condition it was
thought advisable by the committee
70 suspend operations temporarily
and await the decision OF the courts
on House Bill No. 200. Had the de-
cision been favorable, it would not
haye been necessary for the people
of the community to raise any more
money for this particular work
On last Monday, the state supreme
court banded down decision
declaring the bill UNCONSTITUTIONAL.
This means that no state aid for
road building purposes will be
available until the next legislature
meets and makes the appropriation.
This leaves II up to us to complete
the work of eliminating Floyd hill
Your committee believe that the
community are OF one mind on this,
The work begun and carried on
with so much energy, enthusiasm
and unity of purpose must be com
pleted in the same spirit. 1t is es
timated that it will require approx
mately $1,000 90 in labor and money
to do this The report OF the audit
ing committee shows that approx
mately $1,000 90 in labor and cash
has already been expended. Adding
the 100000 required to complete
the road, it will be seen that the
total cost of the work will be $40, OOO.
no o6ttludSc VI tuo bbOhC ou& iuCOA
was $4,000. These figures show
that the work has been economically
done.
We believe that in arranging plans
for completing the work, 1t is
ad visable to have larger committee
There is much detail work aud plans
to make. A larger committee will
tighten the labors OF the committee
materially.
Having served for the time ap-
pointed, we submit our report anc
ask TO be discharged.
Respectfully submitted,
