report, in writing to the board of county commissioners of such
portions of the roads in said districts as most needing repair
by macadamizing., having regard as to this need, to the amount
of travel and the general needs of the community, together with
an estimate of the cost of macadamizing such portions of said
road; and the board of county commissioners shall designate
upon which portions of the roads the sums available for macad-
amizing shall be expended, and the commissioners for the respec-
tive districts shall forthwith proceed to expend said sums upon
the portions of the road so designated, and for this purpose
they may personally employ the necessary labor and superin-
tend said work, or may let the same out by contract to the
lowest responsible bidder, who shall be required to give bond for
the faithful performance of his contract, and .the said commis-
sioners are further authorized and empowered to contract with
farmers living along the roads to be improved for the delivery
of the stone gathered from fields in the ordinary course of
husbandry at a price not exceeding fifteen cents per perch, the
same to be delivered at points designated by the commissioners;
but this clause shall not be construed so as to prevent the com-
missioners from contracting for the delivery of material other
than that so gathered, at prices to be mutually agreed upon,
and whenever the portion of any road designated to be macad-
amized shall be within the road given to any road supervisor,
the portion so to be macadamized shall be deducted from the
road under the control of such supervisor, and shall be under
the exclusive control of the county commissioners of the respec-
tive collection districts of said county, when a county comis-
sioner shall be engaged in superintending the construction of
macadamized roads, as hereinbefore provided, he shall receive
the same compensation that is paid the road supervisors of the
county.
