The county board met in adjourned
session Monday afternoon with all

board was the condition Of the road
and bridge fund, and as to the advisa-
bility of discontinuing road work dur

bridge warrants had been in measure
redeemed.
The resolution passed at the regular
meeting on the 7th of May, "That all
road work on county and state roads be
discontinued, except such as may be ne
cessary to obtain state aid,' was re-
considered and qualified in that if it is
necessary in order to make the roads
passable now under construction the fol-
lowing amounts, but no more, may be
expended on the following roads: The
sum of $2500 on state road No. 3; the
sum Of $500 on state road No. and
the sum of $1,000 on state road No. 4.
But the foregoing limitation shall not
apply to maintenance work.

has completed the work on state roads,
that the tractor will be loaned to such
towns as desire them, the towns to use
the engineer now employed by the coun-
ty, and pay him and pay all other run
ming expense and to maintain tractors,
and keep them in repairs and return
same in as good condition as when re-
ceived, usual wear excepted; also to
use the same grader men now employed
on the county graders. Berglund and
Vanselow have charge of the old trac-
tor and Carnes, Gassert and Rocheleau

ner to rectify said default.
