County Court Awake to Needs

WILL BUY ROCK CRUSHER
City Will Also Receive Some
Benefit In Improved
Streets.'
That the rapidly changing con
dition in' thin county are under
stood ami appreciated by those in
authority in county affair is shown
by the fact that the inembere of
, the county court have practically
decided ta purchase a rock crusher
for the uie of the county and that
the new machine will be installed
evly next Spring. County Judge
Dunn informed a representative of
this paper lat Tuwday that the
matter wax di sou ohm! informally at
the last meeting of the board and
that while no definite action wan
taken it wa 'practically decided t
make such an investment.
The member of the court argue
that with the advent of a railroad
through the county it becomes
their duty to provide good wagoi
roads leading from the more remote.
portions of the county to the prin
cipal shipping points and being
praotioal men with a personal
knowledge of climatic and soil con
ditions tbey realize that the only
way permanent improvement can
be made is by the use of crushed
rock. AU the leading authorities
in the country agree in recom
wending this method and Oilliam
county people cannot afford to be
satisfied with anything short of
the best.. Other important road
improvements are contemplated
by the county court among
which is tho bridging of' Rock
creek and the opening of a good
wagon road up Wolf hollow.. This
will be done in response to a de
tnand from many residents in that
portion of the county lying east of
Hock creek and will divert a large
amount of trade to the new rail
way which now goes to Douglas
and lone, the new road, it is
claimed, will make a saving of al
most one half in distance to' the
people of that section
The incorporated towns will also
receive much benefit from the road
policy as it is probable that in the
future the county will adopt the
policy of expending the amount of
the road tax collected in the towns
on the streets of such municipali
ties and in addition to this the city
governments will be able to secure
the use of the crusher in preparing
material with, which to pave their
streets. - Mayor Keisacher and the
different conncimen are elated over
this prospect and all believe that
with this method within their
reach the streets of this city will
present a much improved appear
ance within the next twelve
months.
