Following resolution was adopted
by the board, to-wit:
Whereas, the Unitel States govern
ment has delegated to the national
highway association the supervision
during the war period of all road and
street construction and improvements
rriughOu he United States. The
naional highway council have announ-
ced through the press that they will
assume the duties on September 10,
and will not allow the construction
Of any new roads or streets unless
they are of military value, will not!
allow the reconstruction of any roads
or streets only in very urgent cases,
but will allow necessary maintenance
and streets
The purpose of this order is to
conserve labor and materials all Of
which the government is sorely in
need Of in order to prosecute the war
to successful and quick termination.
The board of county commissioners
hereby give notice to the citizens
throughout the county trat in order
to help carry out the above, that we
will not entertain any application for
establishing or opening up or hard
surfacing of any new roads during
the war, but will endeavor to the best
of our ability as far as practicable to
maintain the roads that are already
established. We believe that the peo-
pie OF Marion county as a whole, who
have been so patriotic and have sub
mitted so cheerfully to all ather war
measures, will not dissent and will
lend their assistance to the board in
carrying out this, another war meas
ure.
