GOOD ROADS FOR MISSISSIPPI

GOOD ROADS FOR MISSISSIPPI
Under the recent act of the
legislature authorizing the issu
ance of bonds by Supervisors
Districts for the purpose of rails
ing funds to construct good
roads, quite a number of the
counties are taking advantage of
the opportunity to improve their
public highways.
AS the law was organized 10
Lee county, it is but well and
proper for this county to take
the lead in constructing good
roads. So far, we have made
greater progress than any of the
counties by proceeding through
the necessary stages under the
law to have the roads laid out,
surveyed and a bond issue or
dered.
On the 9th of next month the
contract will be let for the con
struction of the roads and the
bonds will be sold.
Our neighbor county, Union.
has voted a bond issue to con-
struct roads in three districts.
The Meridian district O.
Lauderdale county has petitioneo
the Board of Supervisors for the
issuance of 5000, 900 of good roac
bonds.
Harrison county also has taker
preliminary steps to issue bonds.
A number of other counties arc
discussing the proposition anC
before the summer is over We
confdentially believe that many
Of the counties will follow the
lead of this county and within {
few years there will be a net
work of public highways in Mis-
sissippi that will connect the
various county seats and Other
business points.
