Tliis hill was parsed before I was ap pointed a member of the board of coun ty cnmmiscioner- and 1 eantiot say what t-he deleiriil ioi had in mind at the time, but I believe 1 am correct when 1 isay t'hat there is not a single member of the board of county commis sioners who has iinv idea of s|tcndiug any of the county's funds for hard sur faee roads. It is not practical at this 1 inre It. would Ik*, in my opinion equally as foolish to s|K?ml all of our money ?m any one road. It appears t>> me that If rhe bonds are voted, the money should be u->ed In building sand clay roads through out tihe county wlnve if is of most benefit to the tn\ payers.
