mandatory as regards the employment

One Of the provisions considered OF
especial value ID that patrolmen must
drag the roads promptly after each
rain. Under the present law farmers
and officials in charge Of the roads
will drag them II not too busy, but
otherwise they are not dragged until

they are dragged at all.

must inspect the roads continually so
rs to prevent any serious washouts or
trouble.
Some disappointment has been eS-
pressed that the law did not take
effect on publication so that its pro-

the rain in this state and when the
roads need more attention than later
