Whereas, A petition having been duly pre-

reQuesting that they use the county vehicle
road fund, which was paid entirely by owners

roads are to BE- srsvsisd, shall put the roads IN
0scondethat the Milbank commercial club
shalt raise and donate ct least an equal sum to

And we believe it would b Impractical and .
waste OF money to divide the ceunty vehicle
road fund among the several townshipe and
then have quarter Of . mile OF graveled road
tn any place. and probably none at all and Ne
believe that the only practical way is TO start %
tho county seat Of this county. and gravel the
main road Loading due west and through the
very center Of the central and western part Of
ehis county, and gravel the main road Leading
due south and through tho very confer OF the

and the same Is hereby divided into three equal
parts, and the said equal parts are hereby ap
propriated to the three commissioner districts
TO be expended by the commissioner residing Ia
each district in keeping up and repairing the
public roads that most need repair In his die
5trict.
Whereas, 1t is the custom OF corntiee where
tho circuit conrt Judge maintains HE chambers

and proper that this county should furnish such
