ROAD EXPENSES
THREE MONTHS
CURRENT YEAR
TOTAL OF SOMETHING OVER $751;
eco USED BY THE COUNTY
HIGHWAY BOARD. Il
COST OF THE WORK HOUSE
Institution Has Only Twelve Inmates
and Expenses Are Less Than Is Or
dnariIy the case-Detailed Report
: Is Published. aa taon eNHon 50 a

During the first quarter of this year
there was expended by the county
road commission on the repair OF
roads a total Of $9,SS5.77 in the three
divisions of the county as follows::
Third division, $4,36S.6 so; second di-
vision, $3009.31; first division, 81
507SG. The miscellaneous items of
expenses for the quarter were ST.
1913, which included lumber, freight,
hauling, etc. The fridge expendi-
lures for the three months wer ST.
499S7.
During the quarter damages were
allowed for the opening of new roads
to the extent Of s2,364. Expenses for
the highway commission for the quar-
ter were $4,000 The expenses and
salary of the county superintendent OF
roads for the quarter aggregated
$717.71. Workhouse expenses requir-
ed an expenditure of S2,025.53 as fol-
lows: Provisions, 1874; hardware,
S74.35; clothing, $12435; medicine,
S13.43; smithing, $16.44; horse feed,
$215.25; fuel, $121.3S; miscellaneous
items, $45556
This means that a grand total OF
something above $4,000 was expend-
ed for all purposes on the highways
during the three months. However,
not all of this sum was expended out
of the highway fund, as the work
house accounts and road damages are
paid from the county funds proper.
A full and detailed report of the ex-
penses of the commission will appear
in The Herald of next Friday. Dur
ing the past three months there were
only nine prisoners at the work house.

The appearance of large lelesa-
