/ Report of Committee on Roads and
( Bridges read and adopted.
/ Whereas, it must be evident to ev-
cry member of the County Board that
the proper maintenance Of the public
/ highways is an important factor in
| having good roads and it must ap-
/ pear to each of US that the County
/ Highway Commissioner is unable to
| give proper supervision to said work
on account of other duties which he
/ has TO perform,
/ Therefore, be it resolved by the
County Board of Supervisors of YER
non County that we recommend to the
County State Aid Road and Bridge
Committee of said county that they
put the maintenance of the highways
under the supervision and direction Of
a competent person to be designated
as the Maintenance Superintendent of
State and County Highways, and to
be appointed by them fer that pur-
pose and who shall be under their di-
rection and supervision.
