trust by which it is proposed TO remedy

AAA11AhL WE'VE SD.
Messrs. Editors 81 noticed sometime
ago published in your paper some resolu-
tons adopted BY the Board q County Com
mlSsioners in regard 10 the condition oftlse
mad appropriation left by The CHI Boari.
These resolutions were repubIssle.l in the
St Mary's ERfezTFIss. While the figures
may be correct, l think that tie matter BY
these resolutions Is presented 10 The public
in an unfair light. Being somewhat indi-
vidually responsible for the ap:arent con-
diiion Of affairs, I thought j; incumbent
upon me 70 make the PLANTATION required.
For the last two years, and for several years
past, the appropriation for repairs Of pub
lie roads has been $500. There Is most
always road deficiency, which has To he
provided for in the succeeding levy. With
out any examination Of the.recorls, can
simply say that this deficiency has had to
be I71vided for for many years. This de-
fciency varies from $500 TO 81, 500. The
late Board in 1896 levied the usual amount,
$3,100. The deficiency for this year
amounted To between 81 400 and 81 500,
which amount had been placed upon the
levy list and the rate had been calculated
upon this basis. II was at my suggestion
that it was taken out of the levy and the
rate decreased. Ny grounds for this action
were that the rate would necessarily I've
high on account Of the cost in the Biscoe
case, and that as considerable permanent
work had been done TO roads In 1886, We.
might restrain our supervisors Ia such an
extent as 10 pay tho deficiency out Of the
regular appropriation for 1887 to the great
benefit OF the taxpayers. In any event we
could carry the same deficiency over to an
other year, which would be the same 20 the
taxpayers. The supervisors were restrain
cd to great extent, but the heavy and
continuous rains Of the past Summer made
repairs of the roads an absolute necessity.
The appropriation for 1897 is still unex-
pended by three or four hundred dollars
u very good record. This deficiency al
luded tots not the deficiency for one year.
but for the last two years, as will readily
be understood, and would ask compar-
ison, which can be given, between the ex-
penditure for repairs of public roads from
May lst, 1884 to Dec lst, 1885, the term OF
the Board Immediately preceding the late
Board, AMI from May Isl, 1886, and Dec
lSt, 1887, the time Of the late Board.
