the township road levies into one; that
the appointment of a county road SUI
perintendent be made OPTIONAL; that
cities and towns be granted power to
assist in improving the roads outside
their corporate limits.
The commission says that the de-

system would be about 500 per mile
per year During 1915 the mainten-

not now apparent may be made in sur
