LINDLER. r Editor The Dsiptach-News: As a reader of your paper I do not care to ko far in the proposed bill of 1 Dr. E. C. Kidgell as to maintaining and building roads, but there are somo things that I wish to call to the attention of the people of Is?xington county. ! In Section 2: The supervisor shall i l>e nominated by the majority of the legislature and approved by the gov. ernor. Now, I do not think that tho > opportunity of the people should bo taken away from them, and not al low them to nominate their own sup; orvisor. If tho pooplc are capable of i nominating tho governor they certain, ly should be capable of nominating tho supervisor. I do not believe in , taking one right away from the people . The office belongs to them and they ; should have a voice in tho matter, i Again in Section 4: Tho supervisor and the. commissioners ehsll have i charge of all roads, bridges and feri rifes, and power to discontinue these when they arc not nocessary. As to 1 lent ! VE'S jljlLi the public jht out the f\nrmi auu W 111 lobile Rebounty. If t reasona ARAGE laoager I South Carolina I . . Jk VU-41U ?? Kf discontinuing rqads, bridges and ferries, I do not tbink they should have these rights, unless they have a petition from the parties nearest' the roads and bridges to be discontinued. Not that the people that now hold offico would do it, but if some set of men should got in that want to spite Mr. Ridgell or some one else they have the power and authority to put it to the back of tho house, and Mr. Ridgell could not help himself. I do not believe in giving no set of officers more authority than they are worthy of. 1 am not ridiculing Mr. Ridgell's plan at all./I cetainly would liko to see things in (fetter shape, but let's not bo too hasty %tul overlook the inings mat might bo; injurious to the commonwealth, and ^bat wo try to tako tho rights that Jftstly belong to them. it With all respect loHDjr,, Ridgcll and Tho Dispatch-News, J 'am, your very truly, yf, LiONNIE ^C; DINIXLER.
