A now law wnB passed by tho Just leg
islature requiring tho County to set
two posts at tho ends of each culvert!
and paint tho posts white. Lincoln
County has boon doing this In rnanv
parts for somo tlmo and thpexperi
enco Is that tho wooden poSta do not
stay In place on nn average of one
month. Somo ono needs them to pry
out an auto which la stuck in tho mud
or someono needs them for repairing
a fonco qr for wood to start a camp
flro or for somo other purpose. It
would cost Lincoln County two dol
lars a culvert to comply with tho la
now. That would bo ten thousand
dollars and thoy would last thirty
days or loss. The Commissioner
wanted somo monoy so they could put
In concrcto culverts aid concrete
posts. This would bo permanent and
would not havo to bo replaced. They
would cost twenty dollors oach which
would mako tho total bill $100,000. It
is a big question about tho culvert

united efforts of all our peoplo to find
a satisfactory solution. Wo must havo
