Want New Receiver

A meeting of the depositors of the
Merchants and Planters Bank was
held at the office of I-emler and May
on last Monday night and at the city
hall Thursday night At the first
meeting w H. Neal was elected
chairman and at the last Mr.. K. G.
Lake was selected.
The object of the meeting as stated
was to employ an attorney to repre-
sent the depositors and to ask the
present receiver to resign and to ap-
point three receivers, one to be the
present one and the other two to come
from among tn banks depositors.
1t was also the sense of the meet
ing that the attorney employed would
immediately take steps TO oppose the
payment Of the preferred funds such
as Levee and County now in the bank.
The motions were put and carried
but after it was shown to the meeting
that the present receiver was doing
all that any man or any three men
could do. that the throwing Of the
funds to the courts would take most
of it to pay lawyers and fees, besides
extending the time Of settlement
many years and that the schedule Of
secureties and loans would no doubt
be placed in the clerks office in the

CONTRACT
SYSTEM
Is Not the Best Plan to
Work Roads
TIMELY SUGGESTIONS
BY FIRST DISTRICT
Wants Road Superintendent in
Place of Road Overseers--
a Plan That is Cheaper
Says First District

Editor Tines
Noting the call of the Board of S.
pervisors for a pubic expression
from District as to the propriety, o.
advisability of letting oat the publ,
roads of the county by contract,
would make a few suggestions thai
think worthy of consideration
Let us first consider the item of ex
pense.
The writer readily admits the great
Importance Of good roads as an es-
sential element in the prosperity and
development Of country, but when
you consider the nature Of our soil
and the absolute lack OF any material
close at hand with which to con
struct road, the expenditure Of any
!arge sum Of money in grading and
leveIing. ditching and draining. would
afford bit summers pleasure to be
followed by sad disappointment in
the winter. for We know that mud
holes and gobs put IN their appear
ance on tn top Of a fifteen or twenty
foot enabankment after much travel
in the wet season
To build UP the roads Of Washing
ton county by contract would cost
from fifty to one thousand dollars,and
the reputation that does the greatest
par. OF the travel would not pay one
ec... OF the tax to be levied to meet
tnis expense. The burthen would fall
wholly upon the property holders
tLose who are already heavily bur
thened
| think better plan would be to
enforce our existing road laws, and
instead of appointing road over
seers for specific pieces of roads, let
there be road superintendent cleo
d Cor appointed by the Board for
each of the five Districts and pay
each superintendent salary of $1,000
a wear. Require him to give bond for
the faithful performance Of his duty
and give him the power and author
itv to cali out all hands subject to
road duty in his District at such time
and place as he may see tlt-within
a reasonable distance Of their respec-
tive homes. Let it be required that
these road superintendents shall re
port monthly to the Board Of Super
yisors as to what roads they have
worked, the character Of the work
done and the number Of hands they
have used on the construction OF
SEPARATE piece Of road, and require
that there be attached to every report
a certificate from FIVE resident free
holders OF the neighborhood contigu-
ous to the work that 1t has been done
in a creditable and satisfactory man
ner. whether as to small bridges
causeways or earthwork.
Under this system the labor or
public roads required BY law from
each citizen could be enforced and
the labor performed without other
expense to the county than the coSf
Of bridges. material and salary o. tfle
superintendents, ard we could secure
Just a. good reads at one-teF1th OF tas
cost of contract work.

Grafton OF the Board Of Supervisors

which they may develop a plan nos
so expensive as that proposed
