Business Like Manner.
Special to Times Republican.
Sac City, Feb. 3.-The report Of
County Engineer w. D. Maxwell. who
was employed by the county board Of
supervisors in May. 1913, is indicative
of the progress that can be made by
any county that will put its road work
on an up-to-date business basis. The
report shows4that seven miles Of road
were graded on the county road system
to establish permanent grades. the ex-
penditure amounting to 3S,326.50. On
the township road system, * miles
were graded In similar manner at a
cost Of $1.025. Gravel surfacing was
placed upon one mile of the county
road system, and in addition to these
permanent improvements large
amount Of repair work was done on
both township and county roads.
These items are especially gratifying
in view Of the fact that the past year
was the first in which any grading was
done on permanently established
grades. For the season Of 1914 1t is the
intention of the board to get out on the
county road system from fifteen to
twenty miles of permanent grading,
and to go ahead with the crawling Of
last years graded roads as rapidly as
funds will permit.
On the list of bridge work the largest
item is the two-span. reinforced con-
crete arch bridge over the Raccoon
river at Sac City, erected at q cost of
$14 500. Other bridge work done during
the season included six bridges Of
spans from sixteen to twenty -four feet,

and the construction Of 3SS permanent

using the day labor system. The coun-
ty operated from three to five culvert
gangs all summer. the work being un-
der the direct charge Of the county su-
pervisors and the county engineer.
While these results could not have
been accomplished without an efficient
engineer. large amount Of credit is
duo to the members Of the board Of su.
pervisors. who have applied to the
county's business the methods that en-
terprising business men employ in the
conduct Of private enterprises. The
board comprises e. c. Fuller. John

trouble is that few of them are married
or contemplate making homes there. In
the main they are lodged in cheap
houses where the keeper is permitted
to keep as many as can be crowded into
the rooms. Bunks are built in every pos
sibie corner. A dozen or twice as many
are in one boarding house. The cook

by men only. Conditions are just as
bad as it is possible to conceive Of
where ignorant and dirty men are
huddled together.
OF course the local health board
could do something toward betterment
Of condieions: but there is said to be a
desire that the larger problem shouh.
be met by state or federal authorities.
If an order is issued compelling scat
terment of the men, they may all leave
in a bunch and the factories be closed
down. And conditions can never be
improved until these immigrants get it
into their minds to locate and become
residents and to marry and secure
homes. 1t is one of those conditions
which have grown up: without anybody
