AN ERA IN ROAD BUILDING

Speaking of a bond issue for build.
ing roads-it is said, that the new
road law precludes the issuance of
bonds unless it is repealed. The new
law, which is pronounced a good
one, need not, as we understand il, be
put into effect unless the Board
sees lit 10 do SO. This new law
gives the Board the privilege OF levy
ing tax of 30 cents on the one hun
dred dollars worth OF property.
which, according 20 the assessed val,
ution Of the taxable property of the
county, wOulG give road fund of
about $50, 10000 which will build
about miles of good roads each
year. In short, n bond issue for the
county seems to be possibility for
the distant future. No harm, how
ever, TO agitate and talk good roads.
1t is popular subject these days.

THE NEW ROAD LAW AND
THE BOND ISSUE

The good roads meeting called for
last Saturday, marked, it IS hoped,
an era in the movement in this
county. There was goodly number
OF representative citizens present.
Mr.. Ewing Lawson was elected
chairman and DR.. II. II. Copenhaver
secretary. These Offices were subse-
quently made permanent as P1esi-
dent and Secretary of the County
Association.
The object Of the meeting on Sat
urday was stated to be primarily to
talk over and consider the general
road question. a number OF short
addresses were made, on favOring a
bond issue OF not less than 5000,
600. %. Mr.. Werth, the attorney, who
had looked into the matter in detail
made forceful speech. lie showed
that the present road income of the
county would pay . per cent interest
on $500, 600, and leave about 500, 600
yearly TO 90 into a sinking fund for
the final liquidation OF the debt.
There was quite strong sentiment
among those present in favor OF the
Issuance OF bonds. The amount OF
the issue they were not so sure Of.
1t is believed that such a sentiment
can be created in the county as will
insure the success OF the measure
when put 10 vote, and TO this end a
permanent organization was effected,
as stated above, to meet monthly ON
stock sales day.
Tazewell county will have good
roads some day, but not by BOND
issue II some OF the citizens can have
their way baout il. They are oppos-
ed 10 il, and for the reason perhaps.
that like Others in the county, look
mt the question from the wrong
point. They all want good roads,
but dread a bond issue. They do not
seem To be able 10 understand that
first class highways Will greatly In
crease the value OF their holdings.
If ii could be shown conclusiyeJv
that there is money in il" then ii
would go. The matter has resolved
itself, In the minds OF many TO a
cold business proposition-one Of
dollars and cents. There is only one
sentiment among the wisest and
shrewdest money makers of the
country, on this phase of the subject.
They all agree that fine McAdam
road through any community in
creases the value of every foot of
land, every ton of grain and produce
every vehicle andAhorse I'm that COM
munity There are no two sides to this
proposition unless ii can be shown
that those who ought TO know from
experience and thorough test, don't
know, and hence are either ignorant.
mistaken or Intentionally trying to
deceive the public. That's all there
is to it. 1t is no longer a question
but fact demonstrated in MANY
ways, over and over again, that no
investment pays larger dividend
than one in an up to date, good road.
Everybody admits and knows that
a railway through community is a
great means of development and
growth. The quicker, safer and
cheaper the transportation the more
value TO the community. Is this not
relatively true of good country roads?
The question, it seems TO us answers
itself.
