On Tuesday the board adopted the
well-worked out system of county
trunk line roads as submitted to it by
the county highway commission, and
so we'll suited were the members that
there was not a dissenting voice to
adopting the schedule. II is well that
this matter has been so admirably dis
posed of, making an equitable adjust
ment for the entire county. This
plan embraces 179 miles of road, to
be known as county trunk lines which
with the 63 miles of state and federal
trunk lines already laid out, gives 24O
miles of trunk lines in the county. In
the past we have had 1888 miles of
county highway and a total of 1921
miles of town and county roads.
