urveyor Belk again Urges
Increased Interest in the
Matter of Improving the
Public Highways?How,
the Roads May be made;
Better.
Mr. Editor: 80 many people
ave'tiskul me of late to again
ri e up our roads that with your
ermission lor space I will write.
We must have better roads,
ut we want to get them in the
indest, easiest, and best way.
drst, we must have a supei visor
dio wants better roads and is
filling to work for this end;
econd, the people must be them
tjivfs interested in better road*
nd willing to co-operate in
ringing about better roads;
hird, each hand subject to road
uty must do his part, and if
his is done we will have better
oads. We must either work our
oads ourselves, or tax ourselves
0 have it done. And right here
want to say 1 believe the super7ieor
who doesn't want better
oads, or is not willing to see
hat our roads are properly workd,
is bringing a tax 011 the poor
teople of the couniy,?a tax
hat nobody expects to be less
1 ' '
noii iwo (u>nars a head (and
iroperty tax), and may go as
iigh as three or five dollars.
iJow this might seems a little
lard on some poor lellews who
iave been working their roads
md would rather work than pay,
>ut the roads must be worked
oid they are going to be worked
vhether our supervisor wants it
[one or not, and it our supervior
don't see that every baud
ubject to road duty works his
oad, our people are iroingto do-'
riand a tax to make them work.
We have a number of candilates,
some that we know want
letter roads and are willing to
fork n?r better roads it elected,
nd it is to he hoped that oui
ieople will make a good choice
nd get the best man; for it is
ery important that new met lids
be introduced and better
rork done, as our roads are not
i keeping with the progress of
ur county. It is just as neoesary
for ?<ur supervisor to see
hat our roads are worked as it
s for our treasurer to see that
ur taxes are paid.
Some people soem to think
hat our people won't work the
oads, ami that a supervisor
ouldnh have it done if lie wan'-1
d to. but that in a mistake,
f we elect an able m in and one!
dio i? \s i11iitu to give the roads
