New Plan for County Roads Reshapes Road Patrol System
The county board, with two Republicans and one Democrat, abolishes 36 road superintendents effective Jan 1 1924 and replaces them with 13 deputy highway superintendents, one per township. Appointments reportedly nonpolitical, bond set at 2000, materials to be supplied by commissioners, salary set by them, and the new title Deputy Highway Superintendent and Road Patrolman.
