Colorado County After Good Roads

Eagle Lake, Texas, August 9.-The cleo
ton is drawing very near, being next Sat
urday. 1t has been little hard to get
this election before the voters in the
to be tax" election, and taxpayers are
somewhat reluctant about voting a tax
upon themselves; but when they stop to
consider what the extra tax goes for, there
are very few of the more intelligent and
thinking voters who will vote against the
measure in this precinct. This will show
up a good mark for Eagle Lake. as seveiel
heavy taxpayers vote here. They see the
need of a road and bridge fund and will
vote almost solidly to sustain the tax
measure next Saturday. The county can't
have good roads without funds.
