HufTin Sept. 21—Special: -The
duties ineurnl>ent upon the sujier-
visor ar'e too many and too varied,
for any one man to do justice, to all
parts of as larjre a county as this. )
The financial part. of the
supervisors work should occupy the
attention of more than one man to
insure its economical and wise dis-
trubution. 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
