to havo a county judgo for instance.
In a county tho alzo of Lincoln county
than it does in a county with the same
population but having ono fourth the

other Items of expense But thoro nre
somo Items with which tho population
has Vary Uttlo concora nnd whoro the
bIzo of tho county is what counts. Takn
roads for instance. Lincoln county
would havo to build nnd maintain four
times as many miles of roads ns ono

It would probably havo many times
tho cxponso for bridges that somo of
tho counties of smaller olzo would

that tho expenditures In Lincoln
