WHY NOT A BOND ISSUE?

WHY NOT A BOND ISSUE?
In a communication to the Red
Springs Citizen Mr.. Hamilton
Mcmillan of Red Springs says
that he favors good roads but is
opposed to the proposed bond
issue for that purpose. Every
body is in favor of good roads;
the only thing about which there
is a difference of opinion is the
best method of obtaining them.
Mr.. Mcmillan says: |
I'VE are now taxed to the
amount Of $4,000 per annum to
give us good roads. In many
sections the public roads are in
bad order, and there seems to be
no effort to keep them in order
after they are laid Off. From
observation we know that there
has been no work on certain
roads during the two years past:
the bridges in several places are
in bad condition, and there is
general feeling of disappoint-
ment prevailing in regard to the
present system of road making.
That is very true. We are
convinced that a change is needed
in the present road law, that the
county should be made the unit
instead of the township, and that
a competent road engineer should
be employed. But even if the
law is changed to meet the views
of Mr.. Mcmillan and others who
are of the same opinion, is that
any reason why a bond issue
would not be the best method of
obtaining the good roads that all
are in favor Of? Mr.. Mcmillan
says that "the proposed issue Of
$500, 600 will cost the taxpayers
at least $50, COO per annum to
pay the interest on the bonds
and to provide sinking fund to
meet the payment of the bonds
at maturity" Granted, but
that does not increase the road
tax. We are now paying that
amount and not getting good
roads. We would not have to
pay $4,000 in addition to the
$4,000 we are paying now; ii
would simply mean that without
increasing the road tax a penny
we would have Immediately
available sum of money suffi.
Gent for accomplishing some.
thingi in the way of making gooc
roads and draining lands, where.
as the way that amount Of money
is spent yearly under the presen1
system does little more goof
than pouring it into a hole. L
bonds IN the sum of $3.50, 00l
were issued at once and at tn.
end Of two years another bono
issue of like amount was issuet
road taxes would be actually re
duced and by the time the frs
issue was spent the increase il
land values would make the ia,
for the second $3.50, 600 less. Fo
less money than the people O
Robson are spending now
large amount of money can b
applied at once to this all-im
portant work, and instead G
wasting $4,000 yearly in patch
work that amounts to very littl
permanent results could be oil
tanned. And the farmers an
school children would be ben,
fitted more than any otht
classes.
1t seems strange that any OF
should oppose getting more Fl
the same amount of money
less, simply because it is Gale
a bond issue.
