But be not deceived. Unless hard work is
done between now and November the amendment will

Many worthy propositions have heretofore been put

roads in their respective townships.

and secure competent men to run the
machinery, but after consulting County
Attorney F. z. Hansen. they were
obliged to drop this method Of pro-
cedure, as he ruled that the law for
bids townships to enter into partner

Other methods were reSorted to. but
nothing definite seemed to materialize.
A meeting was held about three weeks
ago with the county supervisors, the
trustees hoping to get assistance from
this source. But the supervisors would
not do anything.
