Work on the Iron County Highways
To Begin in a Very Short Time.

claIly INFORMED JnaJ the highway SH-
gineer was in Ironton last week, met
the members of the Iron County Court
and ordered that the necessary steps
toward road building be commenced
as soon as possible.
The first step to be taken will be to
designate the roads to be constructed
and put out advertisements for bids,
making it possible--easy, for con-
tractor intelligently to bid.
OF course it will require few days
to get the advertisements before the
proper persons, little time TO re
ceive, open, consider and contract, but
with al this, it is considered that
the time is at hand when the bids will
be accepted and work started.
Some of our people have been little
restless over the slowness in starting
but we are rather disposed to believe
that the delay has been a good thing.
If the work had been done two years
ago, the money would be gone, the
bonds drawing interest, and We would
have lust about two-thirds as much
road as we are now expecting to get
for our money.
County Clerk Huff has lent US &
copy Of the bill passed by the extra
session Of the legislature, giving the
location of the roads in each county
in the state. We would be pleased to
publish the entire bill, but it would
hardly be worth what it would require.
