record in this.
A brief history of the committee
was reviewed by Nels Anderson,
county agent. Anderson compli
mented the committee on their
accomplishments.
Judge Garnet. Barratt gave a
report on the building of roads
since HMfi. He illustrated the
progress by use of a colored map.
He staled that five years ago the
court started a program to have
a graveled road to every live
habitation, on or near the county
road.
Judge Barratt said that the
couit expects to have this pro
gram retlized within the next
two years. In 1910 there were
10 miles of oiled road, while in
191 there are .SO1-- miles. In
191(5 there were 270 miles of gravel
and we now have WW miles. In
19l(i there were 900 miles of
graded and drained dirt roads
where now there are 735 miles.
Besides new construction pro
gram, the job of resurfacing and
reconstruction of roads that were
built prior to 1917 must lie contin
ued. In addition to the above
there are ISO miles of stale high
way in the county with 176 miles
paved.
Members of the Rural Life
committee discussed problems
for the committee to work on.
These problems included county
budget and securing a nurse;
rest rooms at the courthouse pic
nic area; need to increase 4 H
enrollment; roadside picnic
areas; farm and home safely; and
farm identification by roadmark
ers and mail boxes.
