dollars in damages have been inflicted
on the roads and small bridges of ths
county by the recent freshets and It will
be many weeka before the highways can
be placed la proper repair. - - -
According to the members of ths
-county -ocurt the . freshet ... has fully
proved several things regarding road
-work in this county. One of them is
that it wss a blunder to construct the
oads along the creek -bottoms and
gulches. - Front the nature of the coun
try he aays It is impossible to build
a road that can stand op under soma
of the torrents that rush down at times.
T It Is also held that If bridges are to
. stand the strain of such floods as the
recent' one they must be built with
concrete abutments, and ths bridges of
steel. -. - .
