Roads Seems to be a problem all over, but here it is not a bad as some places. Pine Co Mn, Chengwatonna Twp. County Commissioner for my district is also my barber, so I don't grumble too much while he is roaming around my ears with a sharp scissor, but i do gently let my feelings be known. Occasionally have to call the Head Honcho at county shop if something gets really bad. Township Board is pretty relaxed. Most monthly meetings have 2 or 3 citizens in audience, usually to present app for building permit or something like that, maybe a dozen at the annual meetings. Township road budget this year is $50,000. That is for gravel, grading, snow plowing & general repair. Maintenance dept is 1 man, grader, dump truck/plow, loader & brush cutter. Gravel stockpile is getting low, so extra money set aside this year to crush another 20,000 yards, should last several years. New gravel is added to x no of miles every year, with more as needed in trouble spots. Grading, snow plowing, & weed mowing on as-needed basis. One of the board supervisors is a school teacher, so if a section of road gets in bad shape, the bus drivers get on his case. All equipment is paid for, but plan to replace grader next year. Next township to the north has no equipment of its own, hires all grading, plowing done, sets budget at $300 a month. If anything extra needs to be done, have to call special voter's meeting for more money. Their roads are in very poor condition. Just the way it is here, could be a bit better, but could be a lot worse too. Willie

As with many things there are often several right answers and a few wrong ones. Some purist I'm sure will disagree to no end with what I will tell you but most of us out here in the real world don't really care do we ? Some of them only bring their noses down out of the air long enough to look down them anyway. If you are like me you are only doing this old tractor stuff because you enjoy it. You
