Cache County has more than $1,000,000 invested in roads. Both the farmers and the people of Logan should look upon this as a definite investment to be protected. Protection of a road investment means maintenance. We have bonded once to build our roads ; we can probably stand a bond again. Therefore, we should see to it that the investment is kept intact. This is going to take more effort than it did to get the money to build the roads, but the roads are primarily for the farmers of this county, and if they are kept in a perfect state of maintenance they become a direct asset to the farms. . The people of Logan can become a helpful element in the marketing of the farm products.
