No, there is nothing more to be. added to make plain what has already been said. The highway commission is aware of the condition of the road, the necessity for re- pairs, temporary or perma- nent, and the necessity for immediate action, before an- other spell of weather brings a repetition of last week’s experience. It is the public good The Tribune is seeking, and if the highway commission is not seeking the same thing, it is on the wrong track. For the present the mat- ter is before the commission for its action. It is entitled to a reasonable ot proper action. e faith that it will be forth- coming.
