I know Of no special tax that has been
levied for the Improvement of the roads
except that the county pays for repair
ing and building bridges across the
swamps or wherever a bridge made OF
sawed lumber is required.
l think | can safely say that the roads
in Northampton are in very bad con-
dition. There are very few bitches to
take the water from the roads and the
bridges are not in good repair.
Some of our people are in favor of
taxes for better roads and some are not.
AS for me, am in favor of taxes for
better roads and will do all in my power
for any honest cause that will give us
better roads. We summon men to work
our road at any season of the year, and
we can work them to an advantage only
in the busiest season with the farmer.
Therefore to accommodate our neighboEs
we have bad roads. Hoping that the
Good Roads Congress will help us to have
better roads, l am,
