"We know that we're not go-
nig to get that state aid we
were led to expect and if wo
want these things done we're
going to have to do them our-
selves" he said.
The Farm Bureau's support
ot the bond issue plan is tied in
with its support of the county
unit system of road building
and maintenance which would
'do away with the old-fashioned
.precinct system of road work
put all county roads under the
supervision of one engineer us-
ing one set ot county-owned

we can get 100 cents of reads

them" said President Joel Mc
