(County iSfrori) 1! W. F. Tolley & L. H. Cromer. Jr. Publishers. o: ir THURSn\Y. FEBRUARY 17. li)21 T i ?? w PAVE KINGSTpT"~ STREETS. !t Kingstree citizens are just now tl greatly interested in the subject of P' building good, pernament streets. At ir last they are awake to a realization of r< the waste of time and money spent it year after year in a fruitless effort to 21 maintain decent streets out of the old a dirt throughfares that have figured as an expensive item against the towns K finances for past decades. They have grown tired and appearently disgusted with the old system of paying out j n" large sums of money year after year 01 for street improvement and upkeep and in the end during the wet sea- j sons, be forced to travel through mud frequently axle-deep over bumps and high places that would make a Rocky ' mountain goat shake his head. In tj fact these conditions are little better in dry seasons, for then there is the (j( germ-laden dust that cannot be gotten tj. away from by pedestrains and is at ^ times almost stiff ling. I, It is highly gratifying to The Record that there is a possibility of get- e( ting away from these old, moss covered conditions and turning our efforts and our money to a system of street ^ building that will not only be a source ^ of pleasure when completed, to every tf citizen, but will serve as a invaluable legacy to posterity. ^ The day of the ox cart has passed, ^ and there is no excuse , or reason that we can deem plausible in this day of ^ improved locomotion for having to spend a store house of time and patience in wabbling over our streets ^ that are worse than the average log- (j, wagon road. e] With a recently passed constitu- n tional amendment it is now possible <p for the town of Kingstree to issue p bonds on its taxable property for mon- w ey with which to build streets, side- w walks and otherwise add to the capacity and efficiency of its public uti- q 1 V\A /1A?TV(/V] um'CA UUCd ao IIlay Ut utviutu n iov uuu uvv cessary by these in authority. Thou- g sands of dollars are being spent each S) year on our dirt streets without any w permanent improvement, consequent- g ly these annual expenditures have s( been little less than an absolute waste. Now, once our streets are properly ^ graded, paved and drained this v-aste ^ will cease. But in the meantime we (j( must borrow money to do the work, gj then the sums we have been accustomed to pay out each year after year will go into a sinking fund for the purpose of paying off interest and principal on amount borrowed. g Through the medium of a bond is- gj sqe we believe, is the only way we can ever hope to have enough money ^ on hand to undertake tlds impoitant work. We trust that the citizens of Kingstree will realize its importance if they have not already done so. Think of what nice, paved streets will ^ mean to each and every one of us, individually; what it will mean to Kingstree as a town in the estimation B of visitors and the thousands of people who will pass through our little B town as a result of the construction of the Santee bridge, which is now an assured fact, and when an opportu- B nity is presented, as we believe it soon will be, to vote on the question of a y bond issue to make it a reality let every man and woman vote "YES!" g There could be no more propitious time than right now to push this y project and start acual work on it. revive the domant pulse and put new jt life in the community. The bulk of the money paid out as the work pro- y gressed would come back to our merchants and business men. There would be employment a plenty for the idle labor in the community. Material is probably cheaper now than it will be Ir.ter on, labor is plentifnl and not exhorbitant in price as was the case a year ago. S In short, lets all say with perfect accord: "Bond the town and pave ^ the streets." ?? G The town is still being supplied g with electric current. It seems that no action has yet been taken by the ^ committee appointed at the recent mass meeting for the purpose of investigating the lighting proposition ^ and the intentions of the Kingstree Electric Light & Ice Co. We have heard of no definite action by the committee. However, the prevailing _ opinion among citizens seems to be in favor of the town establishing its own plant in connection witn tne water works, which it has been found necessary to enlarge to meet the re- 1! quirements of an increasing pcpula- *( tion. The expense of this item alone ^ will have to be covered by a bond is- J? sue and the suggestion is being advanced that it would be well to get an ^ estimate on the cost of installing an 2 electric plant, paving the streets, en- _ larging the water-works and such other public utilities service as may be thought necessary and essential by s1 those in charge of the municipality, b' then call for an election on the question of a bond issue for money enough News From Busy Trio Trio, Feb. 16.?Everybody around io is very much pleased with the |L autiful warm weather, more es cially the farmers. j|fe| Little Miss Olive Pate has been on gH e sick list for the past week. bM Mrs. C.

"Tilup" ) earn' the entire work to compleion without a hitch. That there is something wrong Tr omewhere. somehow^ as to. the price be; f electric current, is the almost u' an- pe nous opinion among our citizens, hey want this wrong righted; they th< ant electric current at a fair and easonable price, day and night, and a . is to be hoped that the members of le committee appointed for the pur- wa ose, will make a fair and equitable da ivestigation into the matter before caching a conclusion or submitting Co s report. It is pointed out by a citi- toi ?n who has made some investigations long the line, that S500 the month in >r street lighting by the town of ingstree would pay interest on $60,- Su DO dollars. He is satisfied that the >wn can install its own plant for a wa tuch smaller amount, and operate it n a paying basis. o ems From Salters Route No. One Sa Walters Depot.
