AWAKENED INTEREST.

This newspaper derives no little
satisfaction from the many signs Of
awakened interest In good roads in
Spotsylyania county, and while ~
In no way lay claim to the credit 81
having awakened this interest. yet
we do feel that We have done our
part in arousing the people and thsir
officials to a realization OF the work
confronting them It is undoubtedly
true that more interest Is being
taken in Spotsylvania at this time
than in any Other county adjacent
to this city. and we believe this in
terest will bear fruit in she near iu-
ture. Following she action OF the
board OF supervisors in appointing
first-class men as road supsrinten-
dents 10 the several districts, the
board began to consider she matter
OF making application for Spotsyl-
vania's share of the States direct
money-aid fund, OF which the coun.
ty's quota this year is something
like 81 300 The board has also de-
termined TO ask Judge Mason TO or
der, some time this fall. an election
In the county to determine the Ques-
tion OF bond issue for CORTLAND
district, whose people seem most an
Iious to take some forward step in
road matters. Under the law the
election is held all over the county.
and two things are necessary 80 car
~ the bond issue. via majority Of
the vote cast in the county and
majority Of that cast in CORTLAND
district The county at large will
naturally vote aye on the PROPOSE
tlon, as the bond issue will be no
charge on any part of the county ex-
cept CORTLAND district. and the only
thing the county at large has to do
is to stand security for that district
In other words, 10 guarantee that
CORTLAND will pay the interest and
the principal when it falls due. The
matter will, therefore, be up to the
voters OF CORTLAND The situation
In Spotsylvania, taken everything
into consideration, is most encour-
aging.
