COMMUTATION ROAD TAX.
The Merits of the Law Pointed out bj
Hon J. Davis Carter.
Editor County Record:
With your permission I wish tc
call to the attention of all road
hands the importance of paying
the one dollar commutation roar!
tax while they are paying theii
othertaxes. Now, Mr. Editor, it's
a fact undisputed tint me poor
people do the road work under the
old overseer plan of working; hut
under the law as it will be operated
after this year, this will not be
the case, because there is an authorized
levy of one null on all taxable
property to be applied to t he keeping
up of the public roads.
And now 1 propose to showwhy
the poor man will not be required
to do all the work as heretofore.
Say Mr. A. pays taxes
o u twenty-five dollars worth ol
property; his commutation lax
would be one dollar and the one
mill triY 9-irv maktmr a total of
$1.02$. Now, Mr. 1>. pays taxes
on $15,000 worth of property; his
commutation tax ;p one dollar and
the ont mill tax $1.50. total $2 50.
I think that anv one can see that
the man who owns property will
have to bear his just portion o(
the roal tax, which I think is
right and proper. Now, let's
come together, man to man, and
pay this commutation lax.
I don't think we have a man in
Williamsburg county subject to
road duty who cannot pay that
dollar between now and the first
day of next April; and then, and
not until then, will this confusion
about road workbig be ended,
I do hope everybody will accept
this in the spirit in which it is
written. Asa business proposi
tion it is my purpose to brim: this
matter to the attention of the
people of the comity. It is to
your interest, friends. Let every
while man pay his road tax.
Don'l forget thai the time expires
on April 1, 19o3. I should like to
hear trom others on this subject.
Truly yours,
J. Davis Carter.
