office Of county road commissioner.
It is not apparent to the average farmer,
at least, that there is any special need
for such an officer. l do not believe
that there is a mar in Clearwater coun-
ty who is specialized enough in road
matters to make his employment profit
able to the county. And this is not
meant as a reflection on the intelligence
Of its citizens either, because we have
plenty Of men well qualified for road
overseers.

commissioner is necessary it should
be given to the county surveyor and
enough salary given him to make his
office a tenable one. It seems that ow-
ing to the functions Of his office as sur
veyor that the two offices could be
merged into one and they would work
well together and also curtail expense.
However, as before stated, l do not
believe that such an office should exist,
even under the latter proposition, and
as you stated, could the sentiment Of
the people be had it would be found to
be overwhelmingly against it.
II It were necessary to expend the
amount of the commissioners salary
on the roads, in my opinion it would do
a great deal more good to give it to
the men that WELD the pick and shovel

Ibelieve good roads to be a valuable
asset to any country, and while lavish
expenditures should not be made al
any time, too much economy would
work a hardship not commensurate
with the amount saved.
