i the travel on the roads to meet
the social demands of the entire
population of the county and
the transmission of the U S
mails, and strangers looking for
location, pleasure or business.
Now take your pencil and, figure
op the amount of travel on our
common roads and you will be
astonished at the stupendous
amount. Then,, calculate the
difference in the cost of moving
this tremendous tonnage of
weight and vast number of per
sona over good or bad roads and
you will have some idea of the
importance attached to the posi
tion of .the men who have been
placed in charge of our county
roads.
To assist you somewhat in
your calculation the following
figures are quoted from page 58
of the bearing on roads and road
building before the i committee
on Agriculture, and Forestry,
United , States Senate . January
is5, 1904. "The traetidn force
required to draw a ton over diff
erent kinds of roads is as fol

road making, be must acquire
them by study, observation and
experiment. lie must study
what roadmakera in other coun
tries have found out. observe
closely the material at his dis
posal, aud experiment with con-
ditions tnat surround his work.
To do this successfully the super
visor will find it a great help to
confer with others who are
working on the same line. The
Supervisors of Oregon, to the
better prepare themselves to
perform their important duties
should, and in some counties
they are, meeting in convention
to talk over road making," and it
would be a capital idea for the
supervisors of Union County to,
after the manner of school
teachers 'assessors aud other
county officials, meet in conven
tion at stated times and discuss
road making. The letter, from
Judge Scott of Marion County,
Oregon, and president of the
Good Road Association, will
show what supervisors are doing
in other parts of Oregon.
