The New Road Law.

The Public generally does not under
stand the workings of the new road
law, seeming to think that the roads
are to be worked by taxation alone
Such is not the case. The law pro-
yideS that the roads can be worked
exclusively by taxation or by the call
ing out of hands as heretofore or by
both taxation and the calling out of
hands" The Fiscal court of this
county has elected that the roads of
this county be worked as heretofore
by the calling out of hands That all
males between the age of Is and so
not exempted by the county, Judge
are subject to service on the road for
6 days or more in the year not over 2
days in the week. The office of
overSeer was abolished the lst day of
Dec. 1912. Hereafter the hands will
be warned out by the county Road en-
gineer or one of his assistants. The
county is now being laid off into road
districts aud assistant engineecs are
being appointed by the county Judge
and Co., 3D., Engr. to look oversee
after-and warn out hands in each of
the said districts. A partial list of
districts and the assistant engineers

labor. We are in cooperation Of all
the people who want better roads, land
believe that includes every body and
their indulgence TIL we can work out
a SEXTON TO enable US to begin to get
day light on the road question.
