The Lexiitgion Dispatch Wednesday, March 3), 1910. Q. M. Harm a v, Editor &Dd Publisher D. R. Haltiwanger, Assistant Edit x Entered at the Post Office at Lexington, S. C., as second class matter. CIBCUIZTION 2.325? The annexation petitions, we understand are now being circulated freely ^ r or?r1 8THU!l^r IUO Clbi?Cli9 KJL i>i wamiiu uuu the Dutch Fo *k. With what success the promoters are meeting, we have not been able to ascertain; but we are told that the argument used in favor of annexation is that the bridges, which are now a heavy burden to the people of the two sections, will be made free once the territory becomes a Dart or parcel of Richland county. Just what assurance i9 given, or upon what grounds this statement is based, we do not know. It is admitted, however, that these bridges are very burdensome to all our people whose market is Columbia, but we want to impress upon the minds of those who are considering the proposition, the fact that, once they become annexed to Richland, they will have to help pay for the freeing of these bridges. Possibly Columbia does not care to take all the. responsibility, and the idea is that the people of Lexington should bear their share of the burden. Whether this idea has occurred in th minds of those behind the move or mot, it will, in the end, wind up with those who go into Richland helping to pay for the freeing of the bridges. We believe, however, that the people of Colnmbia will ultimately p*y for the freeing of the bridges whether there be annexation or noannexati #n. We have been reliably inform jd that only a few names of the required number to order the election is now needed, and once the matter comes to a vote there can be no doubt as to what the result will be. We have every reason to believe, and have always conteuued, that Lexington should help free these bridges, and it is understood that, at the next session of the legislature a special tax levy for Lexington's share of the purchase monev for these bridges will be provided. This would place the burden equally upon all our citizens, and would be so light that it would hardly be felt. But the citizen \vh> vote9 himself into Richland county with the belief that his taxes will be lower and that he will no longer have bridge toll to pay, will find out differently when it is too late. We would, therefore, \ urge the people to be aware of the glowing pictures now being drawn by the disgruntled gentleman from Columbia, who has an axe to grind and whose motives are purely selfish. The same blessings and privileges can be enjoyed now by the people o* Brookland and rhe Fork, as they will enjoy if they go into another county. Why make a phansre; % ...
