that work be done properly with a
view to laying the foundation for q
better one by and by Already mil
lions OF dollars have been wasted by
this temporary" work and with ev-
cry indication that state and nation

future, Carter county should go on
record of working her roads in such
manner as to entitle her to consid-
Grafton when the time comes.
Any work done without the aid Of
an engineer is a waste of time and
money. An engineer should go over
the road and determine exactly what
can and should be done and how il
should be done. We have already seen
thousands of dollars spent with moth
ing to show for it, and only because
of ignorance and lack of efficient SUI
pervisiOn.
