The balance of the road fund for
1920, amounting to approximately $22,-
10000 has been reserved to be eXpend
ed on the main roads of the county,
viz, the Maysville and Lexington, Ger
mantown, Mason and Lewis, Mt. Car
mel, Sardis and the Maysville and Mt.
Sterling roads. The salary of the SUI
pervisor and other over head expenses
will also be taken out of this reserve
fund, and an emergency fund will be
provided for out of it. Numerous sug-
gestiops have been made that inter-
ested residents along the different
roads would gladly cooperate with
the supervisor in seeing that the funds
allotted to their particular roads were
properly expended We believe there
is a competent man on each road who
would be of great assistance to the
supervisor in advising as to the most
efficient method of expanding the
seeing the expenditure of same. We
suggest that one man be selected by
the residents along each road, and that
, the selection be made by circulating
petitions and that these petitions be
I filed with the Fiscal Court not later
than thirty days from this date.
The mileage of the Mason county
roads is so great that comparatively {
small amount of money only can bt
allotted to any one road for mainten
ance work each year, and it is there
fore important that this money be ex
pended in as economical and efficien
manner as possible under the circum
stances. A great amount of work viii
necessarily be done on the main roads
of the county this year, and this will
,require a considerable portion of thu
supervisors time and attention. WI
therefore believe that the plan out
lined above will secure the best pos
sible results.
