The district was organized in Good concrete work, Monett district in Barry county. The assessed valuation of the city is one million dollars, the area outside eight hundred and eighty thousand, a valuation for the entire district of $1,880,000. The county levies the full twenty-five cent special levy for road purposes and allows the dis- trict twenty cents of the proportion paid within the district, thus making a district fund of $4,700. Besides this there is saloon rev- enue for roads to the district of $3,000, pool and billiards $250 and $250 poll tax, making the total district road revenue about $8,200 per year. Besides the three road commissioners, the Commercial Club of Monett has a road committee of three to help promote good roads interest and render whatever service they can. When the district was organized the first commissioners appointed a superintendent of roads of the district, who, except a one-year interval, has served continuously ever since. The district owns its road tools and ma- chinery, hires men and teams and does its own work, except con- crete, which is contracted. All actual work of whatever nature is under the direct supervision of the superintendent. Payments are made by warrants. All bills of materials, claims, orders, etc., must first be approved by superintendent. These are taken up at the end of each week and warrants drawn by the secretary of the commission for those approved and endorsed by the president. When presented to the treasurer the holder is required to endorse them, when a check is drawn for the amount. All work of the district is substantially done.
