It li bill tor tbe formation or gooo roaas districts. It is prospoeed that when the property-owners of any locality in a oonnty desire to have constructed a modern road they may, oy a two-tmras vote of the proporty-ownora, form them selves into a good roodB distriot. If the necessary two-thirds vote is seoured it will then become the duty of tho board of supervisors to doolare the distriot formed. Tho supervisors will, by the tonns of tho bill, be empowored to sot apart for that distriot oertain portions of the general road rand and also a por tion of the road fund of the distriot in wnioh the good road distriot Is situ ated. The rest of the money necessary for the oonstruotlon of the road may be raised by a direct tax on the property owner of the distriot, or by bond, as the property-owner may eleot. The bill contemplates that before a good roads distriot may be formed th entire plan of work moat be eomptotad and the oost determined, that the voters oaa ballot intelligently.
