ROAD SCHEME PRODUCTIVE County and City Force Itcpnlrs on Kacli Other by Vse of Signs. Commissioner Dieck some time ago worked out a system whereby he thought he could force the county to repair certain maeadam roads under county maintenance in the city limits. He fcosted signs on these roads read ing. "This Is a County Road." The plaia Mr. Dieck says, brought results. But the rule works both ways, Air. Dieck has found. Down on Taylor's Ferry road the macadam surface under the city's maintenance is in deplorable condition, while the county s part or the road, a little farther on. is in fine shape. The county put up a little sign on the city a part or this reading. 'This Is a City Street." And this has brought results. The Council a few days ago turned down a request of Commissioner Dieck for funds to repair the street. Yester day, after the sign developments, the Council had undergone a change of heart and Mr. Dieck was instructed to order the necessary repairs on the street.
