ET ; W. S. Crozier, Town clerk. Twenty-nine thousand dollars of the balance on hand April 1, 1918, is one that the -Commissioners of the Township fell heir to several years ago. It is at interest and the inter- est is being used only on road main- tenance work. The principal was supposed to be used for the building of hard roads in the Township. That plan has not been changed. Team hire is at the rate of $7.30 per day. 0%; A Labor, due to war conditions, rose from last year's level 35 cents per hour to 50 cents. It may be remark- ed that considerable. energy was necessary to complete the work +of this year with, the cost of labor in- creased 42 6/7 per cent from previous years. : . The tax rate asked for by the High- way Commissioner for 1919 for road and bridge purposes, despite con- siderable increases in costs of labor and material, is the same as that levied for the preceding year. The ambition of the Commissioner has been and is to demonstrate that the affairs of New Trier Township insofar as the Highway Commission- er is concerned, 'may be carried on year, rights of all and without waste due either to carelessness in the ex- penditure of moneys in his charge, or to lack of close and constant supervision of the work. The responsibility of the tax-payer is in bringing to the attention of the | Commissioner at the earliest possible | moment any information which he, | the tax-payer, feels may be of use to | the Commissioner in effecting econ- | omies or aiding = in bettering the | work. | Miles of Township road open and | to be maintained by the Commis- | sioner, 1814.

More than 50 | per cent of the roads received a sec- ond cutting of a 3% foot width on each side of the road. Two thousand and ninety-five yards of gravel and stone were applied where necessary on the 1874 miles of road during the year. *Patrolling means the filling up of holes, ruts and depressions dragging | the earth, gravel and macadam roads | and the filling up of the cracks and building up of the shoulders of con- | with vigor with 'equal regard to the crete roads, | Respectfully submitted, | H.
