STILL AFTER BETTER ROADS.
WIN. Perry Suggests Some Changes.
Against Commutation.

II, l.. -. nv.
Keowee Courier: | feel somewhat
timid in entering upon a discussion
Of the road question. Nevertheless
l feel 1t to be a duty, as citizen
and tax payer OF O'onee, to speak
out; in other words, to unfold my
flag and let my fellow-men know
where ! stand in this important mat
ter.
l am persuaded that there is no
one person responsible for the pres
ent conditions of the county. Nei-
ther do think that any one Board
OF Commissioners are responsible;
nor do l think our legislative body
alone Is responsible; nor yet alone
the overseers, or the grand jurors.
Then who Is responsible for this
enormous debt that hangs over our
ing, Is growing larger and larger
every year? Blend the whole bunch
In one bundle and you have 1t, with
myself in the bundle Just put in
WI oiiNiIS 90 iootillS ll6hl ulluel
one end of the platter and old self
spooning out of the other end of
the tilted dish. If | were to go into
details this would take too much
space and time; nor yet would 1t
work our roads nor pay this enor-
nous sum hanging over the county.
Now, If this part of my article hits
any one too hard, excuse me from
controversy through the press.
How are we to get this continual
confusion down in our county?
think 1t is an unfair thing to raise
the commutation road tax for there
are as many or more men in Oconee
who own no horses or wagons as
there are who do. So, If you raise
this tax, Mr.. A, with no stock at all,
has to pay just the same tax as b,
his neighbor, with ten wagons and
teams. l may be wrong, but If am
l cannot see it at this time.
Let us do away with this commu-
tation tax entirely and give ample
labor to work the roads and only use
what is needed to keep them fn good
condition. Then take the three
mills for the bridges. II this Is in
sufficient raise it sufficiently to meet
the requirements. Then you will
stop this pay check business once a
month, with great long accounts
way over yonder somewhere where
the roads have never been seen
away over there where 1t Is too far
to go for that little bit.
If you are going to have the road
scrape, keep 1t in the lower part of
the county: it will not work up here
in these gullies and rocks. Then
work our own convicts, and more If
you can got them right and need
them. Put them in the mud holes
and on the rocks and on such places
AS are above the average road work.
There is no such thing as one
man alone supervising OcOnee. He
needs the cooperation OF at least
eight mcn--one in each ,ownship-
to assist him. Allow these assist
ants something for their work more
than their road service, for this is
not enough for the abuse he will get
in twelve months.
There is a great deal more that
could say, but will give place to
those with better heads. In conclud-
ing, however, | insist that we must
have limit somewhere and have
some one responsible, and under
good management, | think the neces-
sites OF the county can be met with
less fuss and bowling.
Yours for better roads,

BIG INCREASE IN
NEW YORK CITY
FRANCHISE VALUES

NEW YORK, April S.-The valua-
ton of New York City's special fran
chses has fallen off nearly $1S,000,000
this year. as compared with the fig
ures of 1908, and is only S7,734 600
greater than the valuation of 1907 The
State Board of Tax Commissioners
announces that the total valuation of
the special franchises held by thecor-
porations of New York City for 1909
was $474, 5S9,5OO. The decrease is ac-
counted for by change in the method
of computation made to meet various
court decisions.
The greatest reduction is shown in
the case of the Consolidated Gas Com
pany which will pay a tax this year
on only $50, 900 as compared with
a valuation of $O6,20O,0O0 in 1908
There is also a reduction of nearly 49,
600 600 in the valuation of the fran
chise of the Brooklyn Union Gas Com
pany. The appraisal of the Metropoli-
tan Railway system is also cut nearly
$3,00O,OOO.
In the case of the Pennsylvania Tun-
mel & Terminal Company there is a
big increase. The valuation this year
is 100000, compared with $6,316,-
500 in 1908. About s1,30O,O0O is added
to the valuation to the franchise held
by the New York Telephone Company.

ner threatened to bring suit, but her
love for her mother and the love of

OConnor. shall receive an equal share

1t seems that Mrs O'Connor was not
cut off by the mother because of any
thing she did, but because of acts of
the son in law, Patrick O'Connor.
Some years ago Mrs Terwilligers hus-
band, before his death, gave each of
his children farm. Patrick OCon-

Terwilliger never forgave him, and it
