The Next Questions.

1nO NCAC sxuCStAOAcs
Having found the amount OF
money put on the county roads, the
next questions are: how do our roads
compare with those Of other counties
and are roads less or more difficult
of construction in this county than in
others?
There is an unlimited amount OF
road building material in Thurston
county, and it is SO distributed that
long hauls are not necessary to place
it in any portion of the county. Also,
the nature of the soil is such that
roads are more easily maintained
than in most places. Much clearing
and grading is necessary, however.
In this respect we are probably on a
par with most of the other counties
named. Roads are probably harder
to maintain in Lewis county than in
Thurston.
As to the general condition of our
roads as compared to those of ada
cent counties, the opinions vary with
the individual. Some say that ours
are as good as any, save roads near
the large cities in other counties;
others say that Thurston county
roads average much poorer than
those of our neighboring counties;
from my limited observation, l think
that ours are about as good as the
average and that considering the size
of the county, we have large road
mileage and rather more than the
average per square mile to build and
keep up.
Another way to get at the matter
is to ascertain the amount expended
on a certain road, and to follow up
that road to see what has been done
Conditions vary on each particular
road and often on each particular
part of the same road. Except for ar
engineer or road builder, that method
is impractical; it could not be accom- .
plished by any one, regardless o.
qualifications in the length of TIM
that 1 have had at my disposal. A
large part Of our roads are built by
the commissioners by day labor. I'M
der the supervision Of the district
road supervisors. BY examination Of
the commissioners minutes have as
certained the following facts:
