To grade and hard-surface a mile of road costs approximate ly $2,000 to $3,000. Materials such as bridge lumber are very dif ficult to get. An average tube costs from $100 to $1,000, some times, even more. An average bridge costs several 'thousand dollars. The roads that command our jail, and other county property, i first attention are 'those that Cass County has 850 miles of mail routes, 653 bridges, and about 2,000 culverts. accomodate the most people and connect with some main high way. Our next efforts go toward improving mail and school bus. routes. Our source of revenue is from real estate, personal and gas taxes. The total tax for 1955 is 6 and nine-tenths mills. We have had nearly 100 per cent cooper ation and find Cass County peo ple mighty' fine to work with. .
