The total benefits TO School Districts
on it, school taxes alone from thu

Now what will the road do for the
county generally
Last year the commissioners es,i.
mated the expenses for 1877 at about
5000 the amount for sinking fund
ut about 81, 500 and the amount for
bnnied Indebtedness ut S., 900 making
a sum total in round numbers of
about $500, TO raise thus sum a
levy of u mills was male.
To raise this same amount, $500
on our present valuation $4,000 win
require n levy OF II mills. now whom
the road is complete and assessed as
above mentioned, it win add $2li,
600 to the $t75,000 making $6S9, 900.
To raise sS,lo0 on this yalunion
