IMPROVEMENTS
Pointers that Indicate the General
Feeling Of the people
GOOD ROADS-.MORE BRIDGES

Mr.. j A. Diddle, of Gradyville, ex-
pressed himself on the road and bridge
as follows: am in favor of
the county buying stone crusher and
making roads instead Of doing patch
work. feel certain that move of
this kind would result in great good to
the county and meet the approval of
our heaviest tax payers. / am heartily
in favor of good roads and am willing
to join in the move l understand that
a few more bridges are needed and l
want it understood that l do not be-
lieve in doing without them. Our
bridge at Midtown is worth great
deal to our section and demonstrates
the wisdom of our magistrates in push
ing such improvements. am for road
and bridges and hope our fiscal court
will take up these propositions and
make lasting improvements.
Mr.. ]. N. Coffey, are you in favor of
better roads and more bridges? eyes,
if there is man in the county for such
improvements, you may say :that it is
Newt Coffey. The lack of these things
is expensive and severe check to our
county. l favor a bridge at Neatsville
and am willing to be taxedsto secure it
but as it would not be of direct benefit
to me, hardly feel like making an out
side contribution, but should necessity
arise, guess would do that rather than
see it fail. am willing to have our
county take progressive step in these
matters. A rock crusher is badly need
ed and with the grader and crusher in
use we would soon have some good
roads. hope the County Court will
be progressive in these matters. Tax
the people and make the improve
ments."
: Mr.. w. H. Flowers, ofBliss, stated /
am for rock crusher and hope the
county will buy one and put it to work
at once. Our roads are fearful and un-
til stone is applied, can not be much
better in winter. l am heartily in ia
vor of bridge building until all sections
of the country are tied together. There
is no doubt as to the worth of such inn
and hope that our Fiscal
Court will take up the bridge and road
and push them to compile
ton. Instead of low tax and bad roads
prefer high tax to secure these inn
Mr.. w. F. Jeffries states: l am in
favor of bridge at Neatsville, or at
any other place where one may be need
ed. / realize the worth of such improv-
ments and this matter has been too
ong delayed. The bridges ought be
Quilt. There is no stronger believer in
good roads than myself and believe
hat the proper course for our county
IS to purchase stone crusher and put
It to work as early as possible. The
people want improvement and are will
ing to pay the bill.
Mr.. w. R. Williams states: l am in
favor of building bridge at Neatsville.
It is badly needed. l also favor build
ing at other places. AS to roads, they
need stone and know of no better way
than to purchase crusher. Now is
the time to begin this work. The roads
ought to be taken out of the branches
and creeks and the grader and stone
,rusher put to work.
Mr.. V. Bryant was in town Saturday !
and in conversation stated that the
strongest evidence of the need of a
rock crusher, could be secured by trip
up the Stanford road. Mr.. Bryant is
in favor of the county buying and oper-
ating rock crusher and also believes
that more bridges should be built.
:
Mr.. N. B. Chapman, on the Stanford |
road, expressed himself as against the
building of more bridges or the pur-
chase of stone crusher, believing that |
the county is unable to do these things.
