Mrs. Ceo. Wes A committee of Hosehurg mer chant!) composed of A. J. Lilhurn, J. H. Hoot 1) and A. A. Wilder, together ' .1.1,1, n n ,.l ... OrangerH, appeared before the niein p ' hers of the County Court here this ! afternoon and asked that Home sys- ii-iu ue isiu iiru woereoy pairoimen A'' could be employed to keep the roads A I in nassnble condition diiriiip the n- jjjtlre 12 months of the year. Addresses were delivered by sev eral of the committeemen, and in eacli instance they expressed them selves as satisfied that the people wanted good roads and would will ingly stand the expense in Ihe event ; the court would do its duty. It was j argued that under the present sys ! tern the road supervisors are sup posed to look ufter the highways, i but that they fall far short of meet ing the approval of the taxpayers. Many of the. supervisors are faithful and painstaking workmen, said one speaker, but they have other dtilies which require their intention at the (lino lltey should he nt work on the roads. Hecattse of this condition the roads are neglected and are almost impassible during certain seasons of the year. Hy employing pairoimen The roads can be watched more carefully than at the present tlino, and it will be but a short time until Douglas Coun ly will have highways second to no district In this section of the slate. There aro a number of places in Douglas County where the drainage Is very poor, said ono speaker, and because of this fact special allenllon should be given lo keeping the water off the roads. There is nothing thai will ruin a highway, regardless of Ihe ''character of Its construction, iliilcker than water, lly correcting Hie minor defects as they occur, thero will be liltle cause lor com plaint on the part of Ihe people who ill inpelled to travel the roads of this county. The members of the court ex-' plained that the new road law, which becomes elTeclive in May, HH7, pro vides for the abolishment of Ihe road supervisors on January 1, ISIS, and Hint therealler the County Court shall provide the method whereby (he roads are to be handled. It was claimed by the members of the court that the employment of road mas ters, deputies, pairoimen and other workmen on the roads was optional with llieiu, and they could proceed and care for the roads as they thought best. As soon as the new law goes into effect Hie members of the court said they would give the request of the merchants and Hrangers considera tion, and If possible, employ patrol men. The men employed to patrol Hie roads would act In the same ca pacity as the present road supervis ors, Willi the exception that they would be accountable to the County Court. 1'ractlcally all of those who talked before the County Court this after noon expressed their approval of the abolishment of Hie road supervisor sysieni, in the event they are suc ceeded by patrolmen. The money to pay Hie proposed patrolmen will be paid out or Hie general road funds of the county and will not be deducted from the district funds, as generally supposed. While It might be said that no definite action was taken at the con ference held this afternoon initteemeu were led to believe by the court that their request would have due consideration at the proper time. County Clerk Lenox is "Iing" to the Amount of $2..V County Court Will Probably Formally Ac cept ItcjHtrt Tomorrow. A. G. Sutherland and Miss Mabel Albright, who spent the past two months experting the county books, late this afternoon filed their report with the County Court. The report on the sheriff's office showed an excess of $187.31. In a verbal explanation, the experts said this was probably caused by the is suance of duplicate tax receipts for the same piece of property when payments had not as yet been re funded by the taxpayer. They said their believed this apparent excess of funds would probably be called for by the taxpayers who had paid twico, probably once through an agent un known to them. The books of the county treasurer showed a shortage of $5.ilG. The bal ance In certain funds did not agree with the balance found hy the ex perts, but the net result was a small portage of $5.0(i. A balance sheet for the county treasurer's office was submitted to the court which the ex perts asked that the treasurer use by inserting the sheet In his cash book and that these balances be used. An accumulation of old balances due on refunds was found In an old ledger the total of which was ?8, GS0.37, and these will probably now be made an asset of the county by an order of tho court, as they have re mained for a long time without being called for. The books of County Clerk Lenox showed an excess of 12.58, being a difference on two small errors. The experts asked that the clerk keep n general cash book lo aid in tracing out Hie various accounts. Some difficulty was found with the accounts of supervisors' reports with the road fund, one In particu lar being of such Intricate errors and unexplainable items that it was im possible to report the actual condi tion. The court will take up the re port at once and action taken on the questions submitted.
