At the meeting of the Boar Of

At the meeting of the Boar of
S lD9rvisprs on Monday the ques-
ton Of buying Il steam roller tor
70 td work was considered, salesmt n
being present, 2rrhaps at the sug-
g stion of the State Highway Com
mi sion. who are aware of the cum
tvs special need If a roller at this
time
1t seems that the Commisson
depends upon hiring county owned
machinery Of this class in con-
structing roads, and the one sup
p,sed to be most convenient and
available for the Monterey streetim
brovt ment has been sold, hence a
temporary delay in beginning the
work.
We are sure that in urging the
C unity officials to secure roller at
this time We DO not lay ourselves
open to The charge of selfshness, for
the building of good street
through the town means as much
to the county as it does to those
who live III the corporate limits,
not only because it will improve
and beautify the county-seat, but
will furnish model -"eXpoSe the
county to Infection" so to speak,
and prove the beginning of better
things along this line. Then, too,
the county will receive pay for its
use in the town at this time
But, aside from the fact that 1t
is needed at once for this important
work, attention is called to the
statement of Mr.. Cooke of the State
Highway commission, who recently
visited US, that he was dlsappolnt-
to find no equipment in the county
for efficient road work, or worcs
to that effect, and that it was I'M
possible to make good roads, dc
economical and satisfactory work
without the necessary machinery
1t is the initial step in the direc
ton of permanent road work, and
the board could do no more In
telligent and farreaching service to
the county at this time than to
invest in a good roller to be used
in connection with the crusher now
owned by the county. 1t would
be a progressive step, the browning
work of their administration.
