Explanations Respecting the Provis'
ions OF Senate Bill No. 9, Known
as the Hamilton Road Law.

The Department Of Agriculture of
Pennsylvania sends out the follow
ing data:
At present the supervisors of roads
in most of the townships throughout
the State go out of Office annually
The effect of this is to make the ten
ure SO short as to prevent any under
taking that looks toward the per-
manent improvement of our roads.
The bill as proposed provides for a
continuous body, and subjert to fire.
quent and radical change, and con-
sequently in position to carry out
any project looking toward any CON-
plete and effective system that they
may devise. Under the present law
State aid is practically impossible,
there being no permanent organiza-
ton to which such contribution by
the Commonwealth could be made.
The new Jaw provides a suitable
Board, in every way responsible and
composed of the most capable cit
liens in the community.
Under the present system the
powers of the Supervisors to incur
indebtedness are unlimited. They
are authorized by law to levy a tax
not exceeding ten mills on the dol
lar, but they may in addition to this
involve the township in debt to an
unlimited amount, which debt their
successors must pay. They also
have authority under the law limits
the powers of the supervisor in this
respect. IT grants the Board of Su-
peryisors the power to levy "A ten
mill tax, as in the case of the old
law. Before any greater sum can
be levied, it is necessary for the SUI
pervisors, by unanimous consent, to
make application to the Court of
Quarter Session Of the Peace of
their county, showing cause why
an additional tax should be levied,
and giving opportunity to the citi-
zens Of their district to be heard in
opposition TO their request, and if
said request is granted after all the
facts are made known to the Court,
then in no IS shall the Supervis-
ors Or the Court, levy more than an
additional ten mills. This protects
the people of every community
against the possibility of having
their township involved in debt that
it may take many years TO liquidate.
The present law permits Supervis-
ors to levy n money tax amounting
10 one fourth of the entire sum lev
led. The proposed law authorizes
the Supervisors to levy an addition.
al o%ne.fourth to be paid in money,
so that machines, implements and
material may be purchased and that
persons employed to work, Mt times
in which the citizens are otherwise
occupied, can be paid.
Out of 1857 Supervisors who re-
piled to the query is to whether
road tax ought to be paid in money,
1888 answered in the affirmative, and
most Of them stated that if the tax
were paid in money, they could ac-
complish more with from one-half to
two-thirds of the present tax than is
possible with the whole tax under
present conditions. Many of our
citizens in the rural communities
