I - i i to inform our eountv how the Fork! i [ lis aj.suam'f.;s?,n in rrjiciiu nmus, ; I etc. I ? Tin- roads in the Fork, most of j , them, are almost Impassable the year round. The rhaingang has not been over here in many years, yet we pay jour five dollar road tax and our au- j jtomobile license tax, which should be j applied to the locality from which it j come. Wo also pay our prorata j share of tax for the highway from j jBatesburg to Brookland. With all this i tax expenses there is never a dollar I for the Fork. Is this justice to the | {taxpayers of the Fork? | Our ferry ^ flats. the only means of I tcrossing Saluda river, are in a very ; . ! dangerous condition. stilL there seems to be no relief when we apply to our ' officials. i ; The neglect of the Fork's share of j return from taxes has been one of the i prime etiological factors in old Lex- ! ington county having her anatomy i grafted to her sister counties. * J! does seem that it would be a I jgood business proposition at least tor j Lexington county to save her taxable territory by giving each section her ! share of justice i:i distribution of j : taxes. i K .15. .MATHIAS. j SI> A KTAXiiURG MAX i:li:ctki> speaker j j Columbia.
