Good Work of Commissioners.

This showing speaks volumes I the economical management of coui affairs under the direction of present board of county commlssli ers. It will be remembered tl some five or six years ago the coui was asked to vote bonds In the amoi of $40,000 to build and repair bridg which proposition the voters promptly turned down. In face this condition during the past years the commissioners have gc ahead improving roads and bridge having invested some $50,000 in steel bridges and a large sum roads without voting bonds or levy any extra tax and the county stai today out of debt. Now every brlt across the Elkhorn is a steel brlc except one the old policy of patch a bridge at constant expense hav been abandoned In favor of pen nent substantial structures. Sev teen bridges have been built In i county during the past four yet and Incidentally six of them have uuilt in Norfolk and in this Imi diate vicinity.

No more forceful comment on the business sagacity of the beef of county commissioners who handled the financial affairs of county could be made.

The rea for this better condition is probti due largely to the policy adopted securing a full dollar's worth for county for a dollar the better meth of making contracts and the perse supervision of individual members the board Insuring that when county's money was being expen just as much results were expectec though It were individual funds policy that has resulted In brinf Madison county from chaos of to a condition of freedom from in tedness.
