Show W. S. PEACOCK BUSY WITH SEVERAL IMPROVEMENTS County Road Supervisor Warren Pea-ck Pea-ck hss been at work rip-rapping the river at the Orangeville bridge. Mr. Peacock has a new idea on the work and is using a net wire to hold the work after it is completed. He has also been doing some excavation at the turn of the river, along the bridge to turn the channel of the stream under the bridge. The work is a splendid thing and we hope that they will get the stream under control before our highest water comes. The best work always lasts the longest and is much the cheapest. Mr. Peacock is working to get cement or iron culverts put in all along the county where the farmer's streams cross "od in this way the roads will stand for vears without extra cost, while today the planks that are used will only last for three years at the best. The heavy machinery now coming into the county breaks them through and keeps the j county continually repairing. We be-1 lieve our county commissioner has the right idea and we hope he will succeed in getting just what he wants. |
