\ tEOle johnson received the contract
for furnishing coal to the county

- The commissioners appointed Har-
ris' Robinson, formerly assistant
state engineer. Of North Dakota, as
county superintendent of highways
In and for Mclean county. This
leaves all road work in the county
under one practical. man. MIR. Rob-
inson is we'll known in this part of
the county, having done considerable
work for the county before. He is
well qualified for the position to
which he has been appointed.
He will have the overseeing of all
graders and. road supervisors and
lay out all road work. This is &C.
cording to the law that was passed
several years ago and has been put
In practice in several counties and is
working very satisfactory. Work will
be done where most necessary at
present.
This was a splendid step for the
commissioners to take as it means a
big advance in road work. It will no
doubt be, satisfactory to every one in
the county when they see the re.
suits. .~..~, ..-., ~a.f
The report of the state examiners
will be found in the proceedings
which will be published next week.
The report is credit to the officers,
the county and the people who Ell.
ected the men to office. Mclean
county has a set of officers who at.
tend to their duties and are giving
satisfaction in every way.
The county commissioners made a
sensible decision when they contract
ed to buy three more Twin City gas
tractors from the Minneapolis Steele
& Machinery company. They bought
one last year and it gave such splen.
did satisfaction that more we're pur.
