seer in my district. We work our
roads, too, have them in fine
shape. l have 40 taxpayers in my
district. Forty men last season
put in work on the roads and six
of these were not required to give
their work free. Say, | think no
farmer should serve as roadover-
seer; this work should be done by
a specialist and he should put in
his whole time and give bond to
do faithful service. Another
thing, | think the Government
should have built good roads first
