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.
