County Commissioners may deem proper. He shall be a

county is financially interested, and perform all other work in
reference to roads and bridges, or matters pertaining to road
or bridge work, as the County Commissioners may demand.
No bill against the county for road or bridge work shall here-

repair and improvement of the county roads, the County
Commissioners of Carroll County may, in their discretion, at
any time hereafter dispense with the services of the Commis-
sioner of any road district, or the Commissioners in all road
districts, and work, repair, keep up and improve the county
roads, under the direct control and supervision of said
engineer; and in order to put info effect any such system, may
purchase road machinery, horses, carts or other implements or
property necessary to work and improve the roads and build
bridges and culverts, and do all such other matter and things
as they may deem advisable to secure and enforce a practical
and efficient system for the building, upkeep, work and re-
pair of the roads and bridges of Carroll County.
