of County Commissioners of Roads
and Revenue of Cobb County, Geor-
gia, this day assembled as fol-
lows:
I. That it is the sense of this
body that there is too much over
head expense connected with the
management of the chain-gang and
with the working and building OF
the public highways and bridges of
the county;
Cd That it is also the sense
Of this body that the present plan
Of said work could be and should
be consolidated and readjusted in
such way and manner as to ac-
c9mplish more work in the building
and improving of said highways and
bridges at a greatly reduced ex-
pense to the taxpayers and to the
county;
CD That in order TO accom-
plish the aforesaid results we deem
it practicable and advisable to make
changes in the present management
as follows:

crew camp with the two main
camps OF the county and to build
the new bridges and repair the
old ones in conjunction with the
work and Improvement of the roads

tween the two camps as the neces-
aty may exist, thereby saving tne
county the expense of an extra
