Highway Committees Report

In accordance with a resolution
presented to the 1923 session of the
Grant County Board, asking for the
estimated unsurfaced mileage of the
State and County Trunk Highway
Systems of Grant county, and the es-
timated cost of surfacing same, we
have, in conjunction with the County
Highway Commissioner, estimated
that there are still unsurfaced and
not provided for, 267 miles of roads
on these systems; estimated cosC for
surfacing same, $685., 100000.
We feel that at this time this is too
large a program to be undertaken by
the county, but also feel that better
highway service should be given the
users of the roads of Grant county,
and would therefore recommend that
the following program, as worked out
and presented to us by the County
Highway Commissioner, be adopted;
that is, complete the surfacing of the
following roads with crushed stone or
creek gravel:
State Trunk Highway No. II, Sandy
Hook to 3-mile House-11A miles.
State Trunk Highway No. IL, Fen
nimore to Boscobel-7 miles
State Trunk Highway No. 1872, Bos-
cobel to Mt Hope-15 miles.
State Trunk Highway No. 1873, Cass-
vile to Bloomington miles.
State Trunk Highway No. IS, Bloom
ington to Lancaster-2M miles.
State Trunk Highway No. 81, Platte
vile to Lancaster and from Lancas-
ter to Cassville-16 miles.
County Trunk Line "E," Liberty to
Livingston miles.
County Trunk Line &C." Muscoda to
Montfort-13 miles.
County Trunk Line co." Potosi to
Cassville-161s miles.
County Trunk Line "a" Lancaster
to Union-10 miles.
A total of 881a miles. This will be
in addition to what will be surfaced
with 1925 State Aid, County Aid and
Federal Aid funds and will complete
the surfacing of all the State Trunk
Line System in Grant county, and al
so complete some of the most impor-
tant county trunk lines.
We estimate that the cost of carry
ing out the provisions of this program
will be $310000I00 and recommend
iod of 8 years-1925, 1926 and 1927.
we Will Dy uOlnS LnlS De dDIe CO re-
duce the above amount by $4,000, the
estimated State Aid funds for 1926 and
1927, leaving $220,00O.00 to be pro-
vided in 8 years, which at the present
valuation of S90,555.768.0 will require
$40 of one mill tax each year for
three years."
From the foregoing it will be noted
that the cost of the Improvement each
year for the estimated three years
will be SOC on each one thousand dol
lars of valuation. A man paying taxes
on $4,000 worth of property would
pay So year or $24 in three years
for his share of the improvement.

1t will be noted that the increase
in county tax is trifie over 100000.
The large part of this increase comes
through the special highway program
which will cost $69,19255 next year
and appears in the bugdet. The re-
mainder of the 100000 increase is
scattered through the budget
Get After Weed Commissioners
One of the last things the board
did was to pass a resolution demand
ing more attention to business from
weed commissioners. Around May Is
of next year the various town weed
commissioners will receive letter
from the district attorney setting
forth the weed law and it's require

Rumpus Over Asylum Car
The board turned down a plea to
pay John Cox, retiring register of
deeds, for filing vital statistics in ad-
dition to his salary of $1,000. The in
coming register of deeds will receive
$4,000. This action aroused the ire of
Mr.. Brainerd who severely condemned
the action of the asylum committee in
purchasing motor car for the coun-
ty home after the board had express
ly gone on record in refusing to do it.

Brainerd shouted. 1--WE did stand for
it," some board member said soto

sode then closed.
Lee May BE Dance Inspector
L. D. Eastman may be chief dance
hall inspector for the county in that
the new ordinance requires that the
county chairman is the chief poobah
in enforcing the act. Mr. Eastman
showed an evident willingness to pass
the honor and responsibility for each
district to the respective town chair
men.
County Declines to Insure
The board turned down a scheme
to insure road employees on account
of the employers liability act. 1t was
found that it would cost the county
$4,000 a year to insure the forces.
The county will underwrite its own
losses.
County Nurse Stays In
A majority report of the committee
on education recommended that the
with. This was signed by o. S. Laugh
ton, R. D. Walker, Jay Morse, R. G..
Willis and Oscar Knapp. G.. F. Meyer
brought in a minority report dissent
ing with the others and asking that
the county nurse be retained at sal
airy of $1,000 with $1,000 expense per
annum. The board as a whole adopted
the minority report and the county
nurse stays in.
Tax Exemption Unpopular
The board went on record favoring
the repeal of the homestead tax ex-
emption law and memorializing the
state legislature to that effect.
