In another column is the first
part of a bill which Messrs.
Odom and Rivers have put
through the house, providing for
the election by the people of the
township road commissioners in
Chesterfield county.
A careful reading of the bill
convlnces us that it is a good
law. Just the thing that is need
ed, we believe. If nothing else
had been done by these gentle
men during this session, their
salaries would not have been
wasted by long shot Our
opinion is that more road work
will be done IN the future with
the same amount Of money.
