During the year 1877 Lyon county
has spent nearly twice the amount
spent on good roads during the pre-
vious year. One hundred and nine
thousand dollars was spent for cnl-
yer,s and bridges by the county and
s52,s02 was spent for road work. The
townships expenses for road work
will probably add another $4,000 to
1.-THE above sums. In 1916 the total ex-
penses for both township and county
roads amounted to only S122.83S. How
ever. the county is in debt on its road
work for the year nearly 100000 and
a bond issue may be voted to cover
this sum at the annual meeting Of the
supervisors
