1868.] OF THE SENATE. 26T

The power and authority to appoint the road supervisors,
and also to have charge of and control over the public roads in
the several counties, certainly and of necessity carries with
it the power to prescribe the time, manner and by whom the
taxes shall be expended, otherwise it would be impossible
properly to execute the law.

Your Committee, therefore, are fully convinced that the
powers conferred by existing laws are quite sufficient for
all the probable necessities of any of the counties, and, con-
sequently, that no further legislation is expedient or neces-
sary, and we respectfully ask to be discharged from a further
consideration of the subject.
