Show A dead EG be y foun A gentle from froal moot orr or r northern on his ft hy ay to the capita milled in tui office today and wrote this hia little kick A few months ago I 1 saw a dead body loie to the county road near fords residence in Cen centreville treville tut but knowing hat the coro or ft is ale also 0 tool roan nn nil nd lint lein taht vie road bid ol of odrid vr B vidhl I 1 leroch e of lz z s 5 1 ii tally arg a I 1 sup ased that the tha body would be properly taken care of 0 when the road was waa being repaired but imagine my surprise to ind everything looking as aa natural or unnatural as it appeared months ago it Is true the rocks have b been sen moved b by passing vehicles and some of them have marks of rough usage but it will apparently patently ly require months and perhaps eara of tim and hund hundreds retti of dollars image to vehicles to complete pulver zing those rocks so taking into condid ration the filet fact that the tax payers rough their the county burt will willingly illin gly pay the nece necessary ostel oats of having such obstructions re coved and also considering the scarcity if f money to repair or purchase new dagons act would it not be good policy poley to call tile the attention of the sore sora to the above matters the kind of body that there lies dead Is not described but the rocks are there and if a trip after the body will resa it in the road being made more pleasantly pleas atly passable the public who notice such buell things will give a vote of thanks and a feeling of satisfaction that always accompanies those who do noble deeds will cause the road man to wonder why the simple little duty was not performed months and months aco the box culvert a few yards north of he be clippert CLIPPER office is a few feet shorter han ban the law allow and several ac identa have occurred in farmington by pedestrians falling into dan dangerous gerou voter vater ditch crossings also the chuck ales in all the roads that were not f 11 led last spring are deeper long i 1 aud aid ider so more ahn none 0 ne sup gnp can be gotan after when the people take a notion to improve our tl orough fares As fault finders are considered below par I 1 will not affix my name and yet they are the best citizens we have as the general public do not grumble and generally or in to many instances our officers are careless and only do their duty when grumbled at therefore until fault u finders n ers are better appreciated please allow me to do this little kick for the public good and yet etorly only be known ai a G the above was written one month ago but as then waa vats not room in the pope paper for it I 1 held rover it over for better times as regards the dagou roads do not come the same rocks with additions to theia numbers long there yet I 1 will forward it for publication this week it if you yon will kiridly oblige your wagon road readers by giving it space there is also occasion to enlarge on OD the subject as after leaving your office at the time metio motioned met toned ned above I 1 wa was 8 sur to find the same condition condition of affairs existing north of the hot springs for or several miles the rocks are smaller in size but they more numerous nume rons th the ein I 1 increased amount of travel south of bountiful perhaps accounts for the rocks bein g broken up smaller 1 I met a bountiful dairy man la in the th middle of one patch of rocks and asked him how bow may dollars abear he estimated he was damaged by the rocky roads roade and he be sorted upwards of 10 several other davis county men have made the same reply to that question and as members of the court say they would willingly pay the necessary expense it 1 the poll tax is insufficient the blame can be fully laid to the road supervisors road supervisors do not get sufficient pay to justify them in being on the road all the time but they could with wit U very little scheming lire hire a trusty person to rake and shovel up a load or more of rocks and deposit them in shi suitable table places if they cannot spare time to do this they ought to turn lurn the office over to some good matt man or the opponent of woman suffrage ft would not object to a woman supervisor who would make good 9 roads if a good road man cannot be found I 1 will close this article with three tough t questions first Is road making a lost art this is suggested by witnessing n our best road men grading up ridges bustead of opening out tile the centre of the road to depo deposit sit rocks in them in viewing cuts similar to canals along side of some of said ridges n and other expensive misapplied labor second why does docs tile the public bump over our rocky roads for months in succession without making in aking some noise about the in inconvenience conven and losses occasioned to them by such horrible roads third Is there any probability of a plot being in it existence between the blacksmiths wagon sellers and railroad ro road ad companies on one side and the road supervisors on the other this question is rather sui su sti i perhaps but something dg needs to be said or done to awaken a little interest in it regard to road matters august 15
