THE ROAD LAW.

With CommeE taries By Supervisor Scott.
EDITOR UNION TIMES: Please al
low me space in your columns for the
purpose of giving to the people of
our County Il synopsis of the road
law and how it will be operated. In
the first place our public roads will
all be kept up during this year by
taxation and every able bodied male
citizen between the ages of 1G and
SO living outside of incorporated
towns and cities except Ministers Of
the Gospc., teachers and students
while actually in school, arc liable to
to road duty, AID either must pay to
the County Trcasurcr the sum of
two dollars or work six full days upon
| the public highways. The said sum
Of two dollars shall be paid on or by
the 1st day of March Of each year,
and if not paid by said date all those
who wish can still have the right to
pay up to the 18th of March, by pay
ing penalty Of 80 per cent, which
would make the lax three dollars.
After the 18th of March there is
no further option and any one who
neglects or refuses to pay said com.
mutation tax, by said date his name
will be placed upon the list Of elm
qucnts and he will then be forced 10
work out the six days upon the roads
under contractor. The reads will
be laid out in convcnicn; sections and
each section will be worked either BY
letting it to the lowest bidder or by
hiring Il competent man to supervise
the working of them aud pay him Il
stipulated ';sum;by the day. ! am OF
the opinion that the latter plan is by
far Tic more preferable way of hnv'
ing them worked and Ihopc VIC may
be able to adopt that plan, but under
the law rs 1t now stands We could only
let them to the lowest bidder but my.
self and quite Il number of the County
Supervisors throughout the State
have asked the Legislature now in
session to so change that part OF the
new County government law as to
make it optional with the Supervisors
and County Board of Commissioners
to either hire a competent man to
supervise the working Of the roads
or to let them to the lowest bid
der as they may think best. My
advice to all is to pav your commu,a-
ton road tax, but will say lor the
information Of all those who NAV no,
pav thc;r. tax that We will cndcavor
to deal with them fairly and AS
lenicntly rs the circumstances or the
case will admit. We will always ,rv

ssThe Vendetta.'
With pleasure we announce that 1.-THE

18th. Undoubtedly this Is the strongest
company that has ever appeared here. It
carries its own scenery, calcium and cleo
trical effects, and its cast is way above the
average, being headed by that celebrated
artist, William Fairbanks. His support is
excellent and includes Miss Mena Ring,
Wallace Campbell, 81. G. Wheeler, Miss
Lillian Alexander and others.
The Lowell Mail of March Goth, in speak
ing of the Vendetta says The second
performance Of this stirring and high class
melodrama at Music hall occurred last
night and will be repeated this afternoon
and evening. The acting of Mr.. William
Fairbanks and Miss Mena Ring in the
principal roles is excellent and the sup
port is adequate. The play is full of thrill
ing incidents and dramatic clilnaxes, and
the prison explosion and shipwreck, in
Producing the search light as used by Am
erican warships,are realistic and exciting.n
