State Highway Commissioner Earle
Is not 10 be drowned on the good roads
issue. He makes answer TO many rash
statements in regard to the cash road
tax law In these words:
Some newspapers have told the
people through their columns that now
Earle has the road law fastened onto
the people 1.-The man who lives on the
by-road will not get dollars's worth
of repairs. for the tJwnship highway
commissioner will expend il all on the
main au-to-mo. hile-r-o-a-ds
The truth of the matter is that never
in the history of Michigan did the
hy-road taxpayer have such protection
as he has under the cash road tax
law. for il says In the law-''the road
repair fund must be expended on the
roads directly benefiting the property
taxed +" IL further says that if ten
taxpayers think the commissioner is
not doing this. it is their right pro-
test to the township board, and the
board must lcok into the matter and
decide which is right, and order how
the work shall be done.
The bill is home-rule bill, giving
the townships the right to say how
much they will raise in both the
road repair and highway improve
ment funds, although it limits the
amount of each fund to one half of
one per cent.
The township board has the right
to borrow three-fourfhs of the fund
voted, SO the highway commissioner
can pay cash for work done: one
fourth may be reserved for emergency
repairs and taking care of snow in the
winter time.
The highway com missioner can hire
men in different sections of the
township to look after snow in winter
and pay them for their work.
1t would be wonder if man
could draw perfect bill the first
time, and Commissioner Earle does
no expect that he did. so he asks the
citizens of the state to stand by the
township commissioners and help
them along, and when defects appear,
to write to the State Highway Depart
ment and tell where the law can be
improved. and why; but to write in
a spirit of interest in the state of
Michigan, and not in spirit of hav-
ing a general kick coming
