AS the year 1918 is ended and we are
now to enter upon new year 1t is
the hope Of the Mason Fiscal Court,
that many improvements will occur in
the future. During the year just pass

stacles, which were hard to overcome,
but by, faithful toiling and planning
the Commissioners did their best, and
do feel that many improvements have
been made in the fiscal affairs Of this
county. As the road building the
greatest problem in the county at
present the Fiscal Court hopes to
make many improvements which they
could not do the past year, due,to the
lack Of labor and proper equipment,
bit as matters are adjusting them
selves and some Of this ne
cessary equipment has been acquired
