and the issuing of bonds for road
building purposes. We especially
desire that all members of the levy
courts, all persons interested in
building public roads, and every
citizen who is alive to the advan-
tages of good roads, shall read this
article carefully. It touches the
very first principles of road i'm

thought and information to those

value, that we feel sure that those
