WORKING  NORTH  OF  CITY
----------
          Samuel Gardner,  of Shelbyville, who has been appointed county highway superintendent by the Shelby county board of commissioners, and who will take charge of the office next Monday, spent some time today in company with  Charles Benefiel  present highway superintendent whose term of four years will expire on Monday.
          The two men were in the office of teh[sic] highway superintendent at the court house for a time.  Mr. Benefiel gave Mr. Gardner an idea of the book work that is necessary in the office of the superintendent, and then took him into the county to see some of the work that is being done on the highways.  Some of the roads linging [?] the Riley road, north of the city, with state road No. 29, are in bad condition, due to the wet weather and the large amount of travel over them.  Men are now at work on these highways, in an effort to keep them open.  There is much travel over the roads, due to the fact that the fill on the Riley road, just north of Shelbyville, has not yet been paved, and is in bad condition.
