Matter.

No sale has yet been made of the
Ohio county tobacco. We are informed
by Mr.. Ford, Chairman of the Finance
Committee that meeting of the Com
mittee was to have been held We'd
nesday at Hartford, but no quorum
being present an adjournment was
had until next Monday when it is
thought some definite understanding
will be reached. The Home Warehous
Tobacco people have sold for 50, 3
and 3 as has also the Green River
Tobacco Association, but neither sale
has been ratified as yet. A report has
been given currency that the Ohio Co
tobacco has been sold also but this
report is not true. Those who have
the matter in charge, however hope
to be able to announce a sale next
week and il is not thought that the
matter will be allowed to go farther
without some definite action, especial
ly if the sale is ratified which has
been made by those representing the
Home Warehouse people and the
Green River Association. y.

1t is a good omen TO see renewed
discussions OF thhe road working Ques
ton and we are glad to have communi
cations from all parts of the county
and from persons in every station
of life which will throw any light up
on this all important topic. 1t is
disagreeable to admit it, butwe have
from time immemorial been compelled
TO endure the worst roads of any sec
ton in the State. On account of this
condition of affairs, our farmers and
merchants have lost thousands upon
thousands Of dollars in the years gone
by through their inability to get
their goods and produce to and from
the markets. 1t is all right 10 attempt
an improvement on the present way
of working the roads and there Is no
doubt but what a vast improvement
could be made. 1t would really be
better to work them by taxation, but
We are taxed out of all question now,
and any increase in this burden woul
be extremely unpopular with the peo-
pie. The truth is no good roads can
this vicinity when mixed with water
from excessive rain and few freezes
will make mud, mud and nothing but
mud when stirred by conginuosu
travel. The only real road is made
with stone or some other mecadam and
it is useless to talk about building
roads any other way, except TO ditch
and prevent water from standing upon
them thereby helping them to dry out
sooner than they would otherwise.
People of the state made a very great
forward tsep when they adopted
the Constitutional Amendment which
was submitted 20 them at TIE late
election. Time Is not far distannt
when the National Government will
aid the various States in building per-
manent roads, but we cannot hope to
receive this aid unless we are willing
to help ourselves When the National
Government does decide TO assist in
road building it will no doubt require
the people to put up certain amount
of money in order to receive a FIX
amount. Under the present laws of
Kentucky, we would be helpless TO re-
ceive the help thus extended to US.
However, we do not mean to discourag
necessary repairs to the dirt roads, but
under the present system thousands
upon thousands of dollars have been
wasted in temporary work, such as
blowing on roads, stopping mud holes
etc, when the same work is 10 be
done over again each succeeding year.
Lets endeavor TO build some perman-
ent roads and stop the continual
leak in the County treasury which is
no lasting benefit,

Cromwell, KY, Nov. 23, l9OS.
Editors Republican, see commun-
ication from Mr.. B. S. Chamber
lain on the good roads proposition.
He proposes to divide the. county in
four parts and work with scrapers,
teams and hands. Commencing in
April. The good man referred to is
no doubt honest in his endeayor TO
have good roads and enough of that
kind of work would doubtless bring
the desired results. But let us see
what such a proposition means to the
taxpayer. From April first TO No
vember. first is eight months or 24O
days. Allow for Sunday and Indictment
weather, fifty-two days; take the fif-
ty-two days, from the two hundred
and forty eight days, leaves eighty
eight work days. One scraper and
team would be worth three dollars
per day, and will cost five hundred
and sixty-four dollars per scraper.
Four scrapers will cost $2,256.
1t will require a crew Of ten men
with each scraper, at a cost of 1852.
The four crews would therefore cost
$2,90S. The combined scrapers and
crew will cost $500. Almost equal
to one half the entire school tax, Of
this year, 1909. The reason the peo-
pie didn't vote for the amendment lies
in the fact that they do not propose
to build roads at such wonderful ex-
pense. Who would use the roads then?
Why, the auto man. That Is an in
desputable fact. The auto man Is clam
oring for the best roads; behind him
is the manufacturer OF the machines,
that has right of way on all the good
roads of this county.
The common people see this with OF
eye shut, and they will have to be
coersed to do more than they have
done on that account. could site to
place after place in proof of all this
but think it unnecessary.
