Last Saturday the engineering corps had
reached Kingsville on the Belair road in max

The countys surplus of 1925, 600 on hand
belonging to the taxpayers should be spent on
the public roads. This would give each dis
trict 200 and at $4,000 per mile we could
make about six miles of hard road. What is
the use of having mud roads when few cents
extra on the tax bills will give us big surplus?
The tax rate should remain as it is now and
spend all the surplus in hard material until
all the roads are pked.
Five miles of road made in the 18th district
Just now out of our share of the 1925, 900 would
pike all the very miserably bad roads such as
exist between Watkins and the Little Gunpow-
der on the road passing Baldwin and towards
Waters X Roads, and also Cedar avenue, be-
low Kingsvile. These roads are almost i'm
passable at this time of the year. Instead of
cutting the tax rate to 20 cts, as advocated by
the taxpayers at the meeting this week, they
should have recommended higher rate and
put the surplus on the county roads. r.

was held this week at the Casino here to Sc
cure subscriptions to the stock, with good re-
suits. A surveying corps was at work on the
road last Saturday and the grades on both
roads will soon be established.
