203 M. The Board of County Road Commissioners may, by
order of record, designate special work and improvement to be
done on high, first and second class roads, and may let contracts
for working and improving high, first and second class roads
separate from the contract for working the road by sections in
the districts in which such roads may be situated, and may
include one or more high, first class or second-class roads in
one and the same contract, the contract for such roads to be
under the same regulations as provided in, sections 203 D and
203 F for working or letting roads by sections. The Board
of District Road Commissioners shall, as far as practicable,
require the work and improvement on high and first-class
roads to be permanent and worked by improved road ma-
chinery, and to this end shall .aim to improve the grade of
such roads as the same will justify, giving the preference to
such of these roads as may be of the greatest public use and
when any road is convenient to rock, shells or gravel, shall
have such road or any part thereof macadamized, shelled or
gravelled ; and the Board of County Commissioners shall, if
possible, have two general roads, extending through the entire
county, systematically and continuously improved in each of
the several election districts through which the same extend,
so that the same may be completed and form good, continuous
high roads.
