We have been asked if the
county court expected the above
appointed directors to stay on
the roads assigned to them. In
this connection the court made it
plain on the day it met here for
organizing the work that it
would expect citizens to work
where they were most interested.
If the director assigned to a GER
tain stretch eff road would prefer
to work on some other road. he
is at perfect liberty to change.
1t would tie a good plan for tie
people of each neighborhood to
get into communication With
each other and talk over the
work so that too many would
not go out on one road while
other roadswould be neglected.

Gus county roads. In making
these selections the county court
took into consideration the fact
that it is necessary for men to
have an actual interest in their
work and for that reason it ap-
pointed men to look after the
roads which they use most and
in which they ought to have the
greatest interest. These cap
tains should have a certain pride
in seeing that on the eve of the
10Th their stretch Of road is just
little better than the other fell
lows.
AS to the work that ought to
be done on the roads those two
days. State Road Engineer A. d.
Williams says to remember the
following points:
First. Remove the large stone.
Second. Crown the road from
the sh oulder of the ditch to cen
ter from Ia to l 1-2 depending
upon the grade and soil, giving
more crown to steep than to lev
ell grades.
Third. Open out the cuIverts.
Fourth. Open the bitches.
Fifth. Drain the mud holes,
fill them with the same material,
but keep vegetable matter out of
the road if possible.
Near creeks and rivers where
gravel is available, many pieces
of road can be made good with
but little cost by putting 5 to 6
feet of gravel surface upon the
road and then rolling it down.
The list of directors for the
two days follows:
