amounts to a big sum. yet our roads
are in a horrible condition. When our

to put the roads in good condition

ORR CRITICS.

From the Middletown Transcript.
From time immemorial the man In
official position, whether It be munich
pal. county, state or national becomes
a target for public criticism. No mat
ter what he does Of a public character
or how he does It, there's always
those who can find fault, or rush into
print with their criticisms regardless
of what foundation they lack, or how
inconsistent their grounds.
The Levy Court of this county has
come in for its share Of adverse criti-
cism lately concerning the proposed
new Christiana bridge matter. The
members have been censured because
they insisted on taking their time be-
fore finally deciding the subject and
Insisted on personally inspecting mod
ern bridges erected elsewhere. We
heard the cry of money wasted in
junketing," and the Lord only knows
what Whereas. the truth Of the mat
ter is, that through the personal in
epection made of desirable structures
the court will save the county several
thousand dollars.
But the critics must have their
ding. 1t has always been so. and we
suppose always will be. II amuseI
