The road law has been amended and considerably changed hi some of Its features which we note. Tho road supervisors arc allowed 1 per dav while engaged, and the township trustees ar g ve.n power to fill vacancies in supervisors districts. Tho law authorize township trustees to divide their respective township- into road districts, and makes them superintendent of roads in some measure, ns tho supervisors ar to work under their orders. Three dav
credit is to btt given to n team and driver for each day's work performed. One dollar per day may he puid in Hcu of labor on roads: Supervisors may enter
on inuns near roads and construct drain, ditches and dams if necessary to maka roads good, and damages are allowed owners of such lands. It provides that tho road tax shall not be loss than five nor more than twenty cents, annuallv, by township trustees with the concurrence of county boards. Certain road work not performed bv supervisors is to be let to the lowest responsible bidders by township trustees. The act authorizes the publication of twelve thousand copies of the law for distribution. It will go into force when the tuber laws are printed and distributed.
