HOPE THAT END OF TERM

Improved road work to be done
during the current fiscal year in
Commissioner Roy NJ. Johnsons
district as announced by him this
morning, contemplated q number
of new stretches that have been
contended for; removal of the
dangerous crossing over the Santa
Fe tracks on the 0verbrook to
Marietta road; Improvement of
the Mannsville road so as to ov-
ercome the impossible condition
of the black soil' section which
is rendered so by heavy rains;
and a number Of others.
Mr.. Johnson declared that these
will be taken up as soon as he
can get TO them. Considerable
work is now under way, he said.
A feature of Mr.. Johnson's pro-
gram for the year includes also the
arrangement to use to the extent
practicable the teams and labor
in the neighborhood nearest to
the vicinity of the work. Although
the teams found on most of the
farms In this section are too light
for heavy road work, ne pointed
out that the average farmer is
sadly in need Of all the revenue
he can get. For this reason, he
said, an especial effort will be
made to use them in his district
wherever practicable.
Mr.. johnson furthermore stated
that inasmuch as he was elected
by both republican and demo-
cratic votes, that it was his In
tention to distribute his work
among his constituents without
regard to their politics considering
fitness and efficiency only.
Nh. johnson also asserted that oi

cheaper than it has during the pas
when prices not only were high bu
