'The one thing that seems to be
bringing on great deal of op-
position is that the people do not
know how the money is going TO
be spent, so l will take this OPP
portunity of saying that all the
plans of the commissioners have
been based upon the idea of EN-
ploying a thoroughly competent and
reliable road builder Whether the
work is done by contract or direct
ly by the county has not yet been
definitely determined but in either
case the services of such a man
will be necessary. We have never
for a moment considered attempt
ing to do the work, or superintend-
ing it directly, ourselves or through
any of the present county Off
Gals. AS commissioners We have
m AIDE a pretty careful study of road
conditions in this county, and it
is my opinion that the amount of
money we are asking the people to
vote can be advantageously used
In the improvement of our main
thoroughfares. l feel confident that
dollar of value can be returned
to the taxpayers for every dollar
expended for that purpose.
There seems to be some lack
of confidence as to the ability OF
the com missioners to safeguard the
interests OF the people. and right
here want to say that the con-
missioners are not anxious To
burden themselves with AN under
aking of this magnitude. In some
of the counties where extensive
road improvement has been under
taken a special commission has been
appointed to look after the work
and, from all that l can learn tnis
plan has proved very satisfactory
l think | can see wherein such
plan would be advantageous an'
| am sure that the commissioner
will be glad to pass the job alona
to someone elise
