ing similar work on the same road.
We next attended the North An
dover Community Fair for an hour,
saw some of the best exhibits of live
stock, grain and school and domestic
articles that it has been our good
fortune to see at a Community Fair
Mr. Metcalf, our Vice Chairman was
there in all his glory showing off the
fine display of the Blakes Prairie
Farmers
Then went to Cassville inspected a
very fine piece of Tarvia Macadam
built by day labor by VIM. Schaal on
the Cemetery Road and mile and a
half of Gravel Road built by. the same
foreman, on the Mill Branch Road.
Went from there via Burton to Ian
caster and so ended our trip of in
spection of Grant County, construc-
ton and maintenance work for the
year 1921.
All work was done in very salts
factory manner and the foreman
seemed interested in their work and
anxious to work for the good Of the
County, as we'll as establishing good
records for themselves.
AS a result of our inspection we
recommend that the character and To-
cation of the 1922 work be as indicat-
ed in the resolution which is made a
part of this report.
We your committee recommend
that the following described parcels
of road be added to the County pa
troll system of Grant County as fol-
lows, commencing at the Village OF
Cassville thence to the Brick School
house in section twenty-four (24)
! Town of CasSyille a distance of about
five 90 miles.
Also a road beginning at the cen
ter of Sec. 13) running north to
/ State Trunk Line number 65, near the
north line of Sec. (12) in the Town
Of Beetown a distance of CD miles.
| Also a road commencing in Sec.
| (10) Town of Waterloo running n
! w. to State Trunk Line number 105)
! i'll Sec 800 Town Of BeetoWn, a dis
lance Of about five miles.
! Also a piece of road commencing at
/ Sec. (34) Town of Wyalusing running
Westerly to the Village of Wyalusing
a distance of five 60 miles. And
commencing at Homer church in sec
| ton sixteen (16) Town of Hickory
Grove to connect with Trunk Line G
on the Line between Sec. q and % in
| the Town of Waterstown a distance
of about five miles 90.
! All other petition for Patrol were
rejected by the Committee.
| We highly commend the work Of
our Highway Commissioner, Henry
Mink. His ability and experience ad-
/ ded to his understanding of the re-
quirements OF the office and his will
ingness at all times to meet the many
demands made upon him, are more
realized and appreciated by us each
year.
| During the year it became neces
sary to appoint new assistant and
Fred H. Dugdale of Platteville was
selected for the position. His years OF
! experience as Road foreman fitted
him for the work and he has proved
capable, efficient and industrious and
we recommend that he be employed
again next year at the rate of $4,000
| per month from April 1st to Dec. LIST.
! We have checked over all accounts
and found same correct and, the books
in excellent shape and the many
! phases of the business we'll handled.
The fact that there are over 100 funds
which must each be handled separate
| ly and the carefully itemized reports
that must he made on each and every
separate piece of work, makes the
/ bookkeeping for this office a comph-
Gated and difficult task, but Mrs Mink
who has had charge of this part OF
| the work for the past 8 years is eX-
ceptionally well versed in The hand
| ling of the office work AMI other mat
| ters connected with the business of
| County Highway Commission and we
! therefore recommend that she be re-
tanned il possible for the ensuing
year.
