To the Editor of the Dispatch: I don't think it would be out of place for me to say who I think ought to be interested in the good roads meeting called for August 1st. Those who pay the tax, for if the roads are to be kept up by taxation they will have the burden to bare, if burden it be. The road hands who have been doing all of the work, for it has been intimated that the commutation tax should be raised to five dollars. And then those who use the roads constantly to haul over. If there is any one who does not belong to either of the above classes thev mav not be interested. I think , J the burden should rest on the tax payer and the road hands in equal proportion. J. H.
