From w. w. l..

I / want 10 enuurse what Brother Par
ham Williams had to say in regard to
the building Of an iron draw bridge
across Tchula Lake at Mileston.
hope the Honorable Board of Super.
vi ors will reconsider the matter and
cancel the order at their next regular
meeting There are several reasons
why the bridge should not be built.
The first and most important reason
Is, the county hs not got the money tc
pay for it. Look at the last treasur.
er's report. that ought to satisfy the
board and cause them to come to q
halt. They have been borrowing mo-
ney for several years, about no, 900 a
year, and now they have advertised
for douEle that amount. How do they
ever expect to get the county out of
debtH That will have to be paid the
first of January out of the taxes col
lected next fall, consequently 1910,
you will again have an empty treasury
and will have to borrow again. An
other reason is, is does not show bust.
ness judgment to spend the peoples
money to erect two iron draw bridges
across the same stream just few
miles apart. and both crossings lead
over into Honey Island. The county
has one at Tchula, and there is one
across YaZoo river at Belzoni the couD'
ty helped to build, that is sufficient
outlet TOR this county. think the
hoard would act wisely to 20 q little
slow until there was money in the
treasury. The allowances made by
the last meeting of the board were
something over $6, 900, incl cluding circuit
courts cost. Their monthly allowance
will average to about $3. 600. Holmes
county's revenue In too low, and tax.
es not sufficient to meet current ex-
penses The board will have to make
an additional levy, or make the tax
payers give in their property at its
honest valuation. | was told by the
deputy assessor that the lands around
Castalian Springs were given in at ten
dollars per acre. You can't buy any
mans place around here tor less than
$40, and it is the case all over the
county. Big Black land $500, A
man that has $1,000 in the bank,
paving taxes on the full amount,
draws it out and buys 100 acres of
land, then gives in his land to the tax
assessor at "a per acre, thereby saves
paying taxes tor 5000. At the same
time his land is bringing him moro
revenue than his $1,000 was at
10 per cent. 1t is my opinion that the
board of supervisors will have to do
one of two things, curtail the expenses
or raise the valuation of all kinds Of
property. Now. Mr.. Editor, | think
/ have expressed the will of three
fourths Of the taxpayers in holmes
county, except to raise the taxes, still
they will abuse the board If they don't
give them bridge and every thing
else they want.
