county has 1913 miles of county roads
and the supervisors have been tigur
ing on ways and means of perma.
nently improving them. Careful
estimates of the cost Of draining
grading and graveling have beer
made. The fixed income to be ex
pended for this work together with
permanent bridges has been figured
out and it has been found that tbs
work can be done and a saving
effected by anticipating the income
and without an increase in taxes.
The work of making these improve
ments will. therefore, be begun at
once and it will be pushed to com.
pletion as rapidly as possible.
The net result of this improvement
will be to give the people of Wright
county the use of a system of good
roads for a number of years before
they could possibly be constructed by
following the hand to mouth policy
which has universally prevailed in
Iowa from the beginning
Wright is not the only county in
Iowa which will anticipate it's reve-
nues in this manner. The light of a
better day and better methods of
handling these road building prob
lens is dawning all over the state.
