The Democratic advocate., 1879-10-25

Veeu ieIufsu " pay IOf tue same. n
number Of the most approved iron bridges
have been erected, one over Double Pipe
Greek at cost Of nearly $4,000, one at
Wilson's Ford at S3, ,270, aud 10 1874 the
cost oil bridges alone was S6,5OS.l2.
Under Democratic rule there has been
expended the sum Of S27 7,645.07 for the
erection Of Iron Bridges alone, and we
point with pride to these substantial struc-
tures aud seek to make no apology for the
amount thus expended, as we entertain no
doubt that the work will commend itself
to every right thinking taxpayer in the
county.
II the writer of the Seatiaels article
had felt the slightest inclination to deal
fairly with the subject, he would have
stated all the items OF credit to which we
are entitled; and in speaking Of county
roads aud small bridges alone he would
have admitted that we are entitled to
credit Of s64, ,255,72, being the amount
paid during the twelve years Of Democrat
ic rule, 10 excess Of the amount required
for like purpose during the twelve years
OF Republican rule. Why this is so will
become painfully apparent to our Repub-
liean friends, when it is stated, that since
1867 more than seventy new roads have
been opened, thus adding many more miles
