The difference of $82 per mile increase totals $23,000. The principal causes of increased expenditure were that $20,000 more metal was supplied on the roads, and the Bystem of leaving December bills to be paid in January was stopped, This had boom intendunad in 1900, Tis not in accord with general ordere and was ordered to be discontinued, but it entailed for 1013 paying an ext month's bill amounting to $13,000.
