MONDAY WAS SHORTEST DAY

Monday was the shortest day of
the year. The sun roses at 7.39 a.
ed officially at 10:45 Monday night.
Reports indicate that the snow storm
of Sunday was general over Iowa and
greater part of the middle west.
Audubon received approximately six
inches. If the winter is to be as sew
ere in the next few months as it has
been the past ten days, we may look
for much cold weather. The early
part OF December has certainly been
cold one.

PREPARING ANNUAL REPORT

County Engineer, Carl ID. Fors-
beck, is busily engaged, and has been
the past few weeks, on his report,
a copy of which Is to be filed with
the county auditor and one with the
State Highway Commission. A book
of 600 pages showing the location of
all bridges in Audubon county, when
the bridges were built, by whom and
their cost, has also been prepared by
Mr.. Forsbeck, which is open to pub
lie inspection and fled in the audi
tors office
The report contains some figures
which will be of interest to the tax
payers of Audubon county. Among
them are the following:
bridge work
$11,166.13 spent for repairs on
wooden bridges and culverts.
$3.50 spent for repairs on per-
manent bridges.
14O miles of the County Road Sys-
tenn was drug 22 times during the
year at an approximate cost of $15.24

vert pipe.

etc.
The above report is for the year
beginning November 1. 1913 and end
ing November 1, 1914.
The above figures show that the
cost of the engineering department
is less than five percent. This is con-
sidered very low estimate inasmuch
as all railway and construction COM
panies consider 10 percent a very
low. figure.
