outfit of road machinery and a camp 

 equipment were purchased at an ap- 

 proximate cost of $15,000.00. A ma- 

 chinery warehouse and repair shop 

 was erected at a cost of about $1,- 

 800.00. The heavy machinery is stored 

 in the warehouse and necessary re- 

 pairs made during the winter. This 

 equipment includes two tractors, two 

 elevating and four push graders, con- 

 crete mixing machinery, wheel scra- 

 pers, automobile, three cooking cars 

 and a complete camp outfit. Two 

 more cooking cars are now being built 

 for use during 1916. 



Beginning in 1913. a district high- 



way engineer was employed, working 

 jointly for the state and county on 

 the state and other roads. The work 

 was continued under the supervision 

 of the district engineer until the law 

 was amended in 1915; and since that 

 time has been performed by Eric Mar- 

 tinson, road superintendent and en- 

 gineer. 



During the past three years there 

 has been expended on the state roads 

 about $140,000.00, a large share of this 

 amount being repaid the county by 

 the state. This includes several bridg- 

 es, the largest being the one over the 

 Buffalo River on the Moorhead-Glyn-
