was. The mother asked for a third

coffee I used. didn't answer her
question just then. for heard her say
while before that she didn't like Pos

coffee.

liked it was because 1t was properly
made.

Through a misunderstanding of the
essential principles underlying the es-
tablishment of a proper country road
system, conflicts of interest sometime
arise which cause the failure of the
bond-issue plan. The location of the
roads to be improved should not be
determined by argument, but upcn
sound engineering and economic prin-
ciples. Before a community votes to
issue bonds for highways it is neces-
sary to study thoroughly what roads
ought to be improved, and the ap-

Need for Highway Engineers.
Highway plans for bond issues re-
quire expert skill and professional
service. Before the amount of bonds
is determined, thorough study of
the needs Of the county should be
made and careful maps of the pro-
posed highway system should be pre-
pared. The sum to be issued should
not be fixed until it is reasonably
known what 1t will accomplish. 1t is
customary for many counties to ap-
point commission of business men
under whose Jurisdiction the bond
money is expended. In ether cases
the county supervisor or county COM
missioner has the direction # expendi-
lures. The best results have always
followed where such commissions or
county boards have secured the serv-
ices Of competent highway en-
gineer.
Guided by the costly experience OF

many communities. it is now becoming
common for counties to adopt this
plan. In all engineering construction
it is customary to allow certain per-
centage of the cost for engineering
and supervision. There is no reason
why highway building should be made
an exception to this rule. At least
five per cent of the bond issue may
well be set aside for engineering and
supervision alone. Money spent to
hire competent engineer to make pre-
liminary Investigations before bonds
are issued and to plan and supervise
construction will be well spent. 1t
is not uncommon to find counties that
will repeatedly postpone the sale Of
bonds in order to obtain an increase
of one per cent in bid for 100000
or less and then proceed to construct
the reads in a most haphazard and ILL
planned manner.
