We were informed the other day
by a member of the legislature
that when the present road law
was before the assembly that he
and and another member from this
county discussed the expense to be
allowed the supervisor for travel
ing in performing his duties and
that they agreed that it would not
exceed $50 per Inonth and that no
fault would be found by the tax
payers with that amount. These
assemblymen, however failed to look
into the future and failed to see
the road supervisor riding around
in what the Free Press was pleased
to call an expensive automobile"
Had they seen that expensive
machine they would have baked
on the clause allowing the super.
visor travelling expenses.
AS the law is now working, the
road supervisor is a very expensive
luxury to this county. Counting
salary and expense bills the office
cost the taxpayers $310.96 last
month and there are IL more such
bills to come.
