Where is the Work?

The following ;s.the way that Williams
county has been run by the Republicans
in office. We are in debt some $40 600
or $4,000. The last $40, 1000 borrowed
we have nothing to show for; our roads
have no Improvements on them, and ala
this through their being corrupt in Office.
The following is a correct finding of facts
in the county auditors Office in regard
to the 2-millroad tax paid by the Great
Northern Railway Company, amounting
to 1896. OF for 1901. Receipts were given
and signed by the road supervisors az
follows:
Road District No. /, $l42:47; signed by
j. e. Pettis.
Road District No. 2, $l73.l6; signed by
L. F. Rowell.
Road District No. 8, ss44.o4; signed by
G. o. Westcott.
Road Distinct No. 4, sl72.35; signed by
Town Of Williston. $4,000; signed bv
John Pagan.
Ask them If they received. any of this
money, and If 80, what part OF it did
they receive, who paid it to them, and
what they have done with il?
Take Nesson district, for instance.
$34404 for 1901, and nearly $500 for 1902,
with not q tap of work having been done
upon the roads.
Not q dollar of the money about re-
ferred to is in the county treasury. Can
the taxpaye see where the road super
visofs have expended any of it on the
public highways?:

These double nuts were held in supersti-
