There seems ;o be no lack of interest in the good oads movement for our county, 7 vhich I think is clearly demonstrated dav )y what has heen done voluntarily out >y so many good neighbors to good -j oads. I have had wonderful help ^roj 'rom them on sandy constructions; ror instance, take the Johnsonville C0rj upplement, which for about 2* sjjV( nonths amounted to over $500. We ^js - ? " I - L-! ihouid be encouraged at mis oeuiK i not he case in other sections as well,and ! iy vake up to the fact that good roads t ^ >elong to every civilized people, and spe] lere they come under a flag of co ^ operation?the greatest factor of . itrength known to the world. towTen dollars per mile can't make a j oad. Therefore, if you nave not 30Dt lone anything for the movement, ^ ret bu3y and let us have a report . . . oi J rom your section as to the amount ^ ;hat can be had for your roads, so ^ lomething permanent may be done nstead of patch-work. Either this,or slse beg the delegation to tax us for he amount, which is the best way I >ut of the trouble. 8 But say, be sure to tax real estate I ind personalty, so that the man's jl and through which the good road gj jasses will have to pay its proportion 1 if the advertisement, for indeed it is 9 1 uch. , | I am glad to say that possibly the 1 .. leaviest tax-payer in the county,after 9 J easoning with this subject, said: 9 'Tax me for roads.'* The poor man a 1 s doing well for his part until more ja s raised from the better able. Now, jg t should be proper for us to ask our j| lelegation to equalize this matter, S J ind if they will give us 3 mills for X oads, extra to the 1 mill we now 9 lave, it would amount to something S ike what would have to be done to m aise simply the interest on heavy X )onds, and this amount, without 3 x>nds, added to what we have, will 9 perate seven camps, the size of one ?f our gang camps to-day, continu- ? >usly, and there being only 14 town ? ~ ii - j r 5a hips, which, it properly nanaieu iur m i very few years, would make us like & o pinch ourselves for not having y lone this before.
