TONED In the last part of the orders.
NOW, who IS going to be left out on
IN this bond Issue deal? 1t is plain that
the money will not build one-half of the
roads specified in the orders. In Jeffer-
sonVllle District, the order first names
Az miles of macadam numbered from /
to 10, which are required 40 Be Mqcad-
amazed, some II feet and the balance 9
feet macadam; then in the last part of
order, there is set out another s-ronn
OF roads, numbered l to 25. covering
o4t miles, reaching over the whole dis

manently improved by macdam. or other

BeyOn question, the bond issue leaders
intended and knew that under the Law
ana the order of the Court. the 4Ia
miles of macadam roads in JeffersonviIle
District will be and must be built firss.
Oe1ore spending anything on the other
roads. 1t will take all of the $500. 600
unoer the bond issue plan to build the
Ala miles of macadam in JeffersonvilIe
District, which would be less than SIS.
OOO per mile, and we have not the least
Idea that the 500, 900 would build all of
the 4IS miles of macadam. The bond
issue leaders know that thew cannot
build macadam roads under their plan
for less than $1,000 per mile. and we
chalIenge them to show that they will
nave anything to spend upon the 644
miles of road in Jeffersonville District
wnich are specified in the last part of
the order; and we further challenge
them to show the voters that thew were
acting IN good faith when they incIud-
ed these roads in the order. We charge
tnat they were acting in bad faith, and
tnat 1t was done to mislead the voters
of the district and catch their votes.
IN Clear Fork District, the same trick
and game are being played. In the first
part OF the order, there are 424 miles of
roads which must be macadanized as
specified, and then 68 miles of roads to
ne improved by macadam cor o,l,eracise
than by nldcdddn Z"
But in Maiden Spring District, the
nond issue leaders refused to do this
They specified 33 miles of roads to he
macadamlzed, and which likely could he
macadamized with their S175. 600: but
they declined to stick into the last part
OF the order lot of roads scattered
over the district to be improved "otber-
'rise Than by mdcdddm,' - in order to catch
votes.
Tne man who votes for the bond issue
in Clear Fork and JtffersonvilIe Dis-
trlcts, relying on getting the .'other-
wise improved roads, " is sure to he a
ulsappolnted and wiser man after the
election, when he finds the money ali
spent on the first set Of roads which
must be maczd 4mized, and his districf

mere Is every reason why thew should
vote against the bond issue.
Here are the 4lS mites of roads in
JeIrrsonVllte District which must be
Quilt hrst and macadamized, and will
take all of the borrowed money:
