Acting under the advice and. direc.
ton of the state highway commits.
sion, the board decided to vacate, as
st41e highways, all roads in the
county designated as such. T.
The new plan for state highways
in the county, as submitted by the
state highway commission, was, with
few minor changes, unanimously
accepted by the board.
- The board decided to expend the
bulk of the 1914 state aid for roads
on a new state highway leading due
south from Cove, the intention OF
the commissioners being to put in as
good shape as possible with the
funds available about II miles of the
north and south road through the
county: Provision was also made fol
executing considerable road and
bridge work throughout the various
commissioner districts. A Thorough
campaign was mapped out and pre-.
liminary steps were taken for carry.
ing out this program. While the
lake country gets the bulk of the
state appropriation this year, tbs
plan, as adopted by the board, covers
a period of years and. as this plan
develops from year to year, each
district will get it's proportionate
share. This plan is in accord with
the suggestion of the state highway
commission.
The board took the proper and
necessary steps for obtaining state
highway engineer who will have
Mile Laos county as his exclusive
territory. In all probability r. M.
Cooley will be in charge of the state
road work in this county. He is a
man of experience and capability,
and has already proven his worth.
