NO NEW ROADS In 1914
Supervisors Vote to Take no Action
i. on Road Commissioners Recon-
1. mendations.

tr on Hodo OommiSSbOneTS HoCom-
: mendations.
The most important action by the
Board of Supervisors at the session 40
far was taken Thursday morning when
by q vote 10 to on motion of Supr.
Colby Of Woodruff, it was decided to
postpone indefinitely any action on the
recommendation of the County Road
Commissioners asking for $40. 900 for
new roads for 1914. The matter is pro-
badly definitely settled for this year al
though money to complete nine roads
at a cost of about s., 800 will probably
be appropriated.
The supervisors who voted against
the larger appropriation are not un-
favorable to good roads but for various
reasons believed it best to postpone 80
much work until year later The
large state tax and township taxes this
year had considerable to do with it but
the main reason was that the recon-
mendation of the commissioners did not
seem fair to all parts Of the county.
The route of the trunk line east was a
source of much discussion and dissatis-
faction. The action will be a great
disappointment to many people in the
favored sections but will probably re-
suit in better plan year later. u
report may be reconsidered today and
If proper corrections are made covering
some parts of the county the money
may be appropriated.
