There seems to be considerable tnssausiacuon uiruuKiivui ,u : county with the present arrange ment for working the roads. We are informed that the trouble iis not so much with the law, but the provisions of the law are not properly complied with, hence effective work is not done. The road trustees of the vari ous townships are not required to meet at any specified time and are not remunerated for their services. Good work connot be accomplished by this "any "old time" method of transacting business and it has been sug gested that an amendment to the law should be asked for that would specify the time and place of meeting and allow the trus tees compensation for their ser vices as it is not altogether just torequire a man - to serve in a public capacity without pay for his time if you expect to accom plish" anything. The trustees ought to be re-' quired to meet first Mondays and be accountable to the county commissioners by submitted re ports showing work accomplish ed and projected and to act in -conjunction with the commiss ioners m taking car e of this hranch ' of - th J countv business. The office -oi road trustee is an important one but ,&e.Work, to yield good results, must be car ried on in a systematic manner, m r i : l i i w men can oniy De -ooiamea dv more frequent and regular meet it ingsthan at present.
