of th Push Club wus instructed to
Investigate and make a report on the
cost to date of the Nehalcm road, and
to Show how the money had been ex

whether or not the amount derived
from the levy would be sufficient to
complete the highway. The commtttee
has presented ita report. It Is to the
effect that 3 miles of road have
been cleared and stumped, three
nullca being graded and ready for sur
facing, at a total cost of (3276.5$. In
addition 30 ruble yards of dyking
have been built, costing $2061.90. This
t known as the K rowel dyke. Another
smaller dyke of 18 rods has been
built, at a cost of $13 a rod. or $234
for the piece. About 135,000 feet of
lumber have been sawed, at a cost
per thousand of $8. The road Is now
planked and open as far as
th Walluskl bridge. The report
states that the hardest part of th
road has been built, and that the re
mainder can be constructed for con
siderable less per mile. The report
conclude as follows: "Your commit
tee hns to report that the county
court and roadmaster hove done well
under the circumstances. They have
made a good rood and a good showing
as far as they have gone; but, now
that we have a good rockcrusher, we
do not approve of putting plank on the
road any place where It Is practic
able to use rock.", The report haa
been referred back to the committee
for further Information.
