Garrett spoke of the city streets." “I do not remem- ber when the members of the county court have been at our meetings, I criticise them for that neglect,” he said. Town Outgrows Officers "This town has outgrown the pres ent county officials.” said Garrett. “It is time that they step down and out, and I am willing to ask them. The papers have not done their duty, either.” He requested the editors to do their duty. "We also want a different method of building roads. If we had a gen eral supervisor, who knew his busi ness. we would have a system that would save our money, which is now squandered among a lot of different ones.”
