assistants, working under the super
vision of District Engineer McLaln.
There are four of taem on the Job

have been several of them on the job.
The personnel has changed occasion

men, or otaers like them, have been
on the payroll, whether actual road
construction was under way or not.
Altogether; there are less taan
fifty miles of state aid road under
construction in Box Butte county.

Job, that means that each one has
supervision over not to exceed
twelve miles. If work were proceed-

ing all these supervisors.
