! Messrs. Anderson & Boswell to build

/ ing with T. 2 Ocel1 & Stokes Ferry
road as per advertisement. said mat

meeting of the Board, when voting on
| this measure 1 felt compelled to cast
my vote against letting the road by
! contract but did favor building such
/ road with our cOnvicts as we now
! have an equipped crew for such work.
Building hard roads by contract and
| with COnViCtS evidently will double
the expense of hard road construction.
1 feel that it will be impossible to
meet this additional expense without
! increasing taxation, this l feel would
| be a burden on the people.
