This is considerable higher than the general expenditure the year previous when the total was $1.39,774.05 but $42,767.92 of this amount was for hard surface roads, none of which is listed for 192S.

This is possibly accounted ac-counted for, however, in the new policy poli-cy of the county doinat work within the city limits of towns which was ' just inaugerated in the last two years.
