The repoit covers only nine months of last year for the reason that tho state law making county surveyors highway commissioners did not become effective until April. Mr. Mcllride recommends expenditure of approximately W,0U0 on road and brlilfc'o work during i'.'Vi and also adv!e some steps towards reduction of expenses.
