"Watchful Waiting"

Before closing court last week
judge Holt issued an order giving
the county authorities 60 days IN
which to look after the deficiencies
pointed out by the turnpike re-
viewers, with the understanding
that the toll will be taken off of
any and all sections reported not
up at that time, the same gentle
man being directed to make an
other inspection at the date specl-
fed.
Sections of the road have already
been condemned and outlaWed.
Wonder if the superintendent
knows that, in spite of the viewers
report and the judges order, not
one thing is being done by the con-
tractors at fault. 1t is said that,
in a couple of instances, large rock
have been hauled, dumped in thu
road and left unhroken, a thing for
which any contractor--even on a
country road--oueht to be indict-
ed. And yet this is toll road, a
great, interstate highway, HigI =
lands main artery of trade and
traversed by hundreds of automt-
biles!
That the people, including Judge
Holt, are tired of this dilatory
hodgepodge policy is evident, and
if radical means are employed t"
correct matters, no one can deny
that ample warning was given, and
that the end justiGes the means.
The fact that the Recorder so
arrestly advocates reforms along
road-improvement lines must not
be construed as signifying personal
animosity in any direction, but
only a recognition of the growing
Importance of the reforms urged
We are waging a campaign for bet
fer roads and change of system
bv which they may be scared. 1t
NAV | c hard to determine the best,
h1t we know that ouls is one of the
worst.
