County Commissioners Here

County Commissioners Rowe, Lewis
and Hodgson stopped In Keota over
night Monday. They had spent the day
viewing proposed road running twelve
miles north from point about four
miles west of Briggsdale. and on Tues
day left for Sligo to view pstitioned
road running thirteen miles east on the
line between townships 8 and 10. This
road if granted will connect with the
Lingelbach Pawnee road.
Of the recent Keota Road petition
the commissioners say that al roads
were granted except the one running
east on the south line Of township 8.
and the road over the bluffs north Of
Keota. Instead, this road was granted
to point near the foot Of the bluffs,
and from there runs mile west to join
the old established road leading to the
table-land.
The commissioners state that there Is
a push grader at Grover for use Of this
part of the county, and that 1t may be
gotten for use about Keota at any time
it is not in use there. Certain Of our
roads require grading, but most Of them
may bs kept in excellent condition by
the use of the road drag. For the inn
mediate vicinity Of Keota the commits
sioners have authorized the purchase Of
material to construct drag, and agree
to pay for its use on eight miles of road
after each rain.
Approached on the subject of county
division, members Of the board state
that it seems . reasonable and proper
movement. They point out the magni-
tude Of the task allotted to the COM
missioners in the single duty of looking
after the maintenance of the roads in q
county as large IS Weld; task that
without question might be better cared
for in smaller county. The present
board Of commissioners have shown
decidedly friendly feeling for this section
Of the county, and their visits are
always welcome. They were given
a plentiful supply of announcements of
the Keota Fourth Of July celebration,
for posting in the county seat.
