The countiy’s forces, the chain^anjr, mules, wagors and implements should 1/e managed so ! as to grant e<iual rights, and equal | distribution, of the work to all parts of the county. W e as a people are apt to kick at “class legislation.” nr any law or rule, that favors one section of our county, at a loss to other sections but why is.uch law disdained,unless its enforcement, works an distribution df privileges. It effect that we are after and not the cause. Why should one section of our county be more favored than | another. 1 don’t say this with any discredit to our present supervisor, it has been the custom ever since the adoption of the supervisor^ office. What 1 wish to call atten tion to is the need for revision of our peresent law governing the whole road machinery. " 1 have given this subject some considerable thought, as most of my time is spent in the road and, my road tax. by broken and worn out vehicles, is near one hundred dollaas a year, and I’ve been forced !to conclude that we need better! I I jJ roads, and that we need a better means whereby to obtain them. Our present system of road manage ment, can but keep them up to pas sible condition, or if any improve ment it is so slight as to be only temporary, and whose duration is limited to the tirst wet season, in most instances, yet all forces are employed to maintain our present good standard of good roads, with no marked improvement in sight, although some permanent road h a s been built in our section this year- We have the material, available at all points to form good road beds. In fact all we need is elevation and drainage. Our roads elevated just one foot above the level, and made oval, so as to shed the water into dit has which should be kept open to carry water down to the streams, which should be bridged at a height that would insure their safety even in severe full times, and streams opened out so as to permit of rapid exit of the water. Our sand roads need clay, and our mud roads need sand, all of which are obtainable, easily within reach of the point needed. In fact, we have the best of material, not only to construct, but to INSURE good road beds, Our government experts have proved by demonstration that sand and clay are the best materials for roads, and in mosttyaces are readi ly obtainable. Thus we have th#* means, and we have the men what we laek is instruction and construe: lion. Our finances, are somewhat limited, yet we have reached the point where there will be more available cash, and we should look Our Boys Suite For School Wear.
