Suggestion - little else," replied
Doctor Kirkland. you must bear in

Robert i. Scivally was present and
stated that he was hauling feed to his
ranch and he found it very expensive
to get over this road He said he was
hauling three tons at load, when
he should be hauling five with the
same equipment.
After working with great deal OF
patience over the questions involved.
for two hours, 1t was agreed that the
road at the standpipe should be built
at once. The engineer was instructed
to prepare the specifications and the
work would be advertised at once.
1t was also agreed that the work on
the Berwyn and Mulkey road should
not be stopped but that funds arising
from the 1919 taxes should be used on
that road and that if the money Is not
available when the work is complet ed.
the contractors shall arrange to wait
for the money until it can be paid.
When these agreements were made
| the session became harmonious and
Commissioner Young stated that hs
desired to change his vote on the reao

At meeting Of the board Of county
commissioners held Wednesday after.
noon. the vote on the Healdton road
which was taken the day before was
made unanimous.
Commissioner Young withdrew his
vote on the federal aid proposition on
the Healdton road, and asked that 1t
be made in the affirmative which re-
moves all doubt on the proceedings of
Tuesday and assures the people on
the west side of the county. that every
dollar of federal aid received by Car.

oil fields road, between Lone Grove
and Hcaldton.
The Wednesday afternoon session of
the board was one Of intense interest.
There was sparring for several hours.
Commissioner Young has two very bad
places on the road, between Ardmore
and the Chickasaw Lake, which needs
fixing badly, and he made as hard q
fight as any one could make to have
this work continued until the roads are
