WHAT BECOMES OF THK
COUNTY ROAD Ft'NDl
The county commissioners of Lin
coln county have expended during the
pnst live years about four hundred
thousand dollars for nil purposes, of
this largo sum of money, one-fourth,
or nbout ono hundred thousand dollars
was cxpeneded upon the county roads,
or nbout twenty thousand dollars per
annum.
If this large sum of money had been
expended Intelligently and under prop
er supervision there ought to bo some
visible results.
While ns a matter of fact the county
roads are net now In ns good con
dition as they were five years ago.
The mile and three quarters of road
extending west from the main entrance
of the state farm Is a sample of the
'ny that the county road fund Is dis
sipated, For forty years this stretch of road
has been a Joy to the traveler, except
In extremely wet weather It lias been
a boulevard and during wet spellfi
only a few places needed nttentlpn
where the drainage crossed tho road,
ad 'these could have been fixed In shape
with little expense.
Instead of using any Intelligence or
supervision the county commlsslr ncrs
sends Mr. Waldo, who has the contract
for the county grading, to throw up a
grade, and the contractor obeyed or
ders, and ns ho is paid by the cubic
yard it was to his Interest to move
aa much dirt as possible, with the re
sult that wo now have a great unsight
ly ditch on each side of the road and a
great high unsightly grade, a met. ace
to every ono who uses the road.
If the county commissioners had
directed the county engineer to have
planned the improvement of this
stretch of road and set stakes for the
road contractor to have worked by, a
vastly better road Iwould have been se
cured by moving ten per cent of die
dirt that was moved and paid for, and
In that case there would hnve been a
saving of ninety per cent of the money
that was expended.
This manner of doing the county
business 1b like handing your pocket
book over to the hired man to help
himself, only that In these road mat
ters It's the county pocket book that
Is passed over to the contractor to help
himself.
Tho county commissioners are well
paid and In tho Interest of tho tax
