Medical men made a most inn

BUSINESS OR POLITICS.
Plan Suggested That Would Divorce
Road Building From Politics and
Accomplish Results.

~ -
Editor Daily Item.
I would appreciate it if you would
give this article space in your paper.
I have been hearing for long
time past discussions on the matter
Of bettering the public roads of Sum-
ter and the adjacent counties. Some
Of the suggestions made are more
practical than others, but all of them
seem so far to have been unproduc-
tive of any really satisfactory results.
Now my y an or idea may be no
better than any of the others which
have been advanced. however, 1 will
give it and leave the criticism to
your readers.
We have heretofore been electing
supervisor for Sumter county and
he has had entire charge of the road
building, repairing and other work
which has to be attended to outside
of his office. In the meantime he has
a clerk provided him who attends to
the detail work of the office. My plan
would be for the supervisor to do
the Office work and transact all
executive business himself Then he
could take the salary Of approximate
ly $1,000 per year and hire a COM
petent civil engineer to build the
roads Now the argument will prob
ably be advanced that a competent
man will cost more than the salary
allowed for a clerk, this is probably
true. but the county could easily at
ford to supplement the amount now
allowed by about $500 per year for
which sum they could get a good
man. The small difference in salary
being far more than compensated for
by the better service received.
1 seems to me that the plan have
suggested would be very satisfactory.
because the county would then re-
ceive the very best of service not
only in the office but also in the road
building, having a practical man at
each end Of the line.
1t also strikes me that it would be
very satisfactory for the supervisor
as it would relieve him Of the con-
slant criticism which must be very
distasteful to him. And by the way.
so far as 1 have been able to observe.
no matter, who has the office. the
same old criticism goes on just the
same. Therefore to sum up the
case. it would be a plan in which
both sides would win, the county
getting better service on whole and
she supervisor escaping the most un-
pleasant features of his position.
would like to hear from anyone as
10 what they think of the plan as
suggested.
