Enondale, July II, 1905.
Editor KEMPER HERALD:
With your permission | would
like to again address the County
Attorney and the Supervisor from
Beat 2, since he felt called upon
to reply to my former article.
1t was without any i'll feeling
whatever toward the Attorney
or Supervisor that / projected
this open discussion, for person
ally our relations are most cor
dial; neither was it desire for
personal information that
prompted the former article, but
that the present condition of the
road system might have some
airing. the general public receive
such Information from headquar
tiers as they are constantly asking
about, and that the prospect for
better roads in Southeast Beat
may be made manifest.
With many other citizens, l
appreciate the information Of
tered in the last reply OF the At
torney and our most highly es-
teemed Supervisor; yet as some
OF the Information was neither
negative nor affirmative, and as
some questions We're withheld,
this article is thought to be nee
essary.
1st. Can a citizen be forced to
pay this years road tax, who de-
sires, but has not had an oppor-
tunity, to work out his time nm
der a contractor, when the law
says ga citizen shall have the
right to work instead OF paying
the tax?
End. Why is it, when the spec
itications require completion by
the first of May or pay withheld,
the pay seems to be forthcoming
Notwithstanding the work is in
complete, when the law says that
no payment shall be made until
the specifications have been CON-
piled with and the work com
pleted?
3rd. Has the Board any right
to pay out all the road fund tor
working second and third class
roads, to the neglect of the first
class roads and main thorough
fares?
4th. Should the Board share
in our sympathy for performing
duties as road commissioners tor
such a trifiing sum as $4,000,
when they could place this bur
den upon the shoulders of a road
commissioner?
5th. Why is the contractors
name, class and link of road. and
prce per mile, not published just
as other similar proceedings OF
the Board, SO we may know if
our road is let and who our con.
tractor is, that we may know to
whom to apply when our road
becomes impossible, or when we
wish to put in time on the road I?
It was suggested that "Citizen'
ought to keep off the toes OF the
Board. The only way to keep
him off their toes is for them to
keep the Sheritf's hands out OF
his pockets, or work his road.
"Citizen" was accused of not
having backbone enough to sign
his name to his former queries.
In self defense, | wish to say that
the weakness of my spinal col
umn was caused by a three mile
journey over a first class road in
Southeast Beat, which caused
nervous prostration-scarcely es-
Gaping st. Wits Dance. l hope,
however, to survive the shock
and to be able to sign my name
occasion demands.
As to "Citizen" taking a con.
tract beg to be excused owing
to the weakness of my back and
OF my mind, as it takes
strong back and a weak mind
to work under the present iron
clad specifications when there is
only $500.00 in the treasury.
Most respectfully,
Citizen

made an argument to the effect that
the appearance of this deficiency bill
was plain proof that the officers of

that forbade the expenditure of money
not specifically provided for by the
Legislature. And he protested against
the practice of authorizing salaries not
provided for IN the appropriation bills.
And then Achi proceeded to have
little fun with President Isenberg by
moving the insertion of an item APP
propriating $50 to pay the rent of a
telephone on the -Nuuanu Pail road,
in order, he said, that gentlemen whose
autos break down up there should not
be compelled to walk home. The Sen
ator said he had letter from gen
tleman who lived near the Pail telling
the sorrowful tale of a certain heavy
weight who was seen toiling up the
road from beyond the Pail, complain
ing at every step that he could get
at no telephone. In common human
ity the Senate shoulu see that this did
not occur again.
