The new highway law is so much of
a change over the old one that it can
scarcely be recognized. Hereafter the
towns will have nothing or little to
say about the paving of county and
state roads, but they must pay their
share Of the cost. Hereafter the bur-
! den Of the responsibility will rest on
| the county board and the state high
way commission. The county and
state can now go ahead and build a
road and never say "boo" to the town.
| In this way the ends of the trunk lines
at the edges of the towns and county
can be completed. In many counties
roads have been built near the county
seat but not extended to the county
| limits. This has been entirely
changed. There are also other good
features in the law. The new order
of things will appear in the law sup
plements soon to be issued by the
| weekly papers in the state.

J. T. Donaghey of the state highway
commission, and others visited the
! West Sank road where it descends the
bluff in the town of Sumpter. There
| is talk of relocating. this road. The
grade is so steep that the ascent for
| teams and automobiles is difficult,
and the tendency to wash is increased.
By relocating, the grade would be
much reduced. Arrangements have
| been made to repair the road at an
expense of about $4,000, and this mon
ey will not be used if the road is to
| be changed.

height, has light hair, smooth shaven,

out for the chap and if he comes in to
collect special make long search

so telephone to an officer.

easier to fill small hole than large
one. A stitch in time saves nine.
