Improvements, We are of the oplnior
tha' the roads are not dragged otte
enough, and the road commissioner
should see that they ara dragged at
least after each rain. The traction en-
g'ue should be kept in working at al
times and not allow the roads to get full
OF holes and deep ruts because the en-

consecutive weeks. We are OF the opi
niOn that the road man should dEVot.-
his entire time and attention to the pub
lie roads

District No. 2, and while We also fino
improvements, We believe that more at
tentiou should be given to the roads By
the road man, who should also devote
all his time to the work. The bridges
require some grading and should be
attended to ct once.
Jail
