questions he turned deaf ear and II
was generally believed that he really
did not know the whereabouts OF his

a grilling but still maintained policy
of silence. Finally the proffer OF ice

Many sections OF the much used
country roads that were full of holes
and deep ruts have been scraped and
leveled up with the bitches properly
opened so that until the heavy rains
of the fall the roads will be passable
for all kinds of traffic.
Tho worst piece of road now In the
county according to the engineer is
within the corporate limits of Farm
ington where lie has no authority.
Most of this section through the town
of Pennington on the road between
Fairmont and Warrington is old worn
out cindcr road and since no repairs
at all have been made this year It is
almost impossible and has wrecked
many automobiles that have attempted
the trip from Fairmont to Warrington.
The Pennington town authorities ac-
cording to Mr.. Wiifong have so far re-
fused to repair this evidently expect
ing to leave it until paved under the
bond issue.
A number of new bridges in the coun'

the various districts but none has yet
been decided upon. This matter will
be considered by the county court prob
ably as soon MS the report OF the as.
