A county highway engineer is needed, but we need something more. One man cannot look after all the highways, brick,- stone, concrete, macadam and dirt, of any county. We can't keep up our roads without n organization to keep after them all the time. Nor can we build them without putting more money Into them and then following this up with more money.

Nothing has been done to destroy the remains, the positions! of which have been indicated by the linear arrangement of the seta above them.
