there is a sincere desire on the part
OF both the served and the I'M
served TO expedite the construction
of all roads justified by present ne
ceSsity and where there Is no rea-
sonable prospect Of their early con-
struetion either wholly or in part by
other than county funds. 1t Is my
opinion that all roads which might
soon be constructed or partly so
by state or federal funds and all
roads primarily dependent for their
value upon uncertain future devel-
opment should be left for the clos
ing number OF our road building
program. No one questions the need
Of road Improvement in the river
country, neither can we question
the necessity for road Improvement
in various other places throughout
the county and to rush road inn
provement in the river section to the
neglect of Rangerville and other
needy communities and then in a
short time have the federal govern
ment construct the remaining por-
tionS of the border road after we
have spent our money on sections
Of it is to permanently deprive
needy sections CT relief that might
otherwise have Deen afforded them.
Certainly there are sufficient needy
roads in the county TO absorb all our
available resources either In tnr
form Of warrants or otherwise and

made by the prosecution, which was

they shot because Sears had pistol IN

Points made by the court in over

not under arrest when he was shot;
that he was not charged with felony,
and that he was shot nine times in the
back, according to the evidence.
Judge Dawson said that his attitude
In such cases is to give the officers
every possible protection the law affords
but that in the case in point he could
not see how jury could fail to convict.
