HOARD OF CONTROL IN CHARGE Nn Law. Colonel Raker Says. Re lieves Board of Road Work. Colonel W. F. Baker, member of the Board of County Supervisors for Council Bluffs and vicinity, yesterday disclaimed any responsibility for the condition of the roads adjacent to the Iowa School for the Deaf. Complaints about the almost ' Im passable condition of these roads have been pouring Into the county authorities, and Colonel Baker has been called to task by several residents of that vicinity for his supposed Inattention to these thorough fares. Colonel Baker explained that a new law enacted by the legislature at Its last ses sion, which went. Into effect July 4, placed all roads and highways within and adja cent to state Institutions under the super vision of the State Board of Control. The law referred to by Supervisor J3aker to aa follows: t All roads and highways within and ad jacent to lands belonging to the state shall constitute a separate road district under the control and supervision of a super visor appointed by said board of control, with all the powers, duties and responsi bilities Imposed upon road supervisors; and the cost of maintaining, repairing, re newing and improving said roads, except county bridges, after deducting the road and poll taxes collected from those who are liable to the payment of the same within said road district, shall be paid out of any general funds In the hands of the state treasurer, not otherwise appropri ated. "I have done no work on the roads in the immediate vicinity of the Iowa School for the Deaf since July 4," said Colonel Baker yesterday. "The law clearly makes such work the duty of the Board of Control and takes It entirely out of tho hands of the Board of County Supervisors." The road supervisor of Lewis townshlD. however, at the repeated request of per sons who were obliged to travel these roads dally, did some work on the main roads near the Iowa School for the Deaf recently. The expense of this. Colonel Baker said he exnoctn tn hin .,o,,i up to the state, but whether the county will be able to recover Is another question.
