date the taxpayers Of the county and
especially the cut off ISOLATED portion who
are deprived Of the privilege Z: many
times Of paying their taxes OF al.
tending 10 other business that they may
have al the county seat. Were the
chances FOR roads and approaches to
bridge equally good a. each Of the three
sites, no one can but see that i: would
be far more convenient for nine out Of
every ten to get to Upton BY bridge
at the middle site than by either or both
the other roatcs. Evidence and plenty
Of it was brought: before the Board

practicable, which was lot denied Or ey-

payers Of the county, eight hundred Of
whom live On the wes. side Of the rlver,

count Of the rough and hiIly road il IL
almost impracticable for pers0ns living

Thus three men virtually say 10
the intelligent voters Of Cedar county,
that I'VE have better right 10 cay
where you shall spend your money and
bridge Cedar river, than you yourselves"
We only ask fyr an explanation. Let 40
