Subscription. sI.5O Per Year.
COUNTY COURT AND ROAD WORK

Without proposing TO enter into Il e
any personal differences that may have
arisen between County Engineer Kay
and the members of the county court,
we nevertheless wish to subscribe TO
the principle involved IN Mr.. kay's
contentious as pertaining to his recent
law suit agairs, the county. We make
this comment without endeavOring to
advance expert Interpretation Of the
law, which is a matter for adjudication
of the couts.
Leaving aside the intentions Of the
law, we believe that the county roads
should be constructed under skilled su-
pervision. Either the county engineer
or some expert road man should be in
charge.
At the present time Hood River
county has some of the best roads OF
the cheap construction class in the his
tory of the community. Still, this is no
excuse for improper work that is being
done in certain sections. Last year
the county court incurred criticism be-
cause of placing large quantities of
loose rock on roads in the 0del district.
Yet the same thing is being done this
summer.
Heavy material is being placed on
the Middle Valley road. 1t will not
pack at this season of the year, but
will simply roll to the roadside. Such
construction work is not only bother
some to the travelling public, but is
useless expenditure.
