laK measure. But of comments thus I
on far heard, expressions of appro- 1

11L the law o! the county?the only e
)e law that we have relating to road ?
,1B working?and being the law, it b
011 is the duty of every citizen to 11
e~ obey it. It was passed by the '<
legislature in obedience to a gen t<
'1_ oral demand for a change in
the system of working the
roads, so let us give it a fair and
,n impartial test. Let us see if it ,
)iy will give us what we have long
