gets them.
When we get such great blessing as
boulevard given to the State free for
nothing we will be badly cheated, as it
/ will be Just what it cost-nothing We
advocated the Drexler Bill 80 that we
could build at our own expense what we
wanted that would be a monument TO our
own effort and achievement, without any
gift, and then we would retain our own
beloved and boasted independence. Mr..
Du Pont made it plain TO our Legislature
that he would procure those coveted
rights and franchises by gift, purchase or
condemnation, now it must be all gift or
no roads, and we learn that after our
Levy Court offers the comfy $ gravel pits
I free Mr.. Du Pont has the cheek to ask
the farmers 10 haul it for him free so
that il can be a monument to his memory
/ Under such proposition we would build
our own road and give away POO feet Of
the most precious and valuable rights in
the land, We think II viii be giving Mr..
[ Du Pont a million instead Of getting
road given to us. Under the condition
we Will never get a Du Pont Highway.
Let US not be like dumb driven cattle
and dupe in the hands of this mercen-
ary millionaire, but be up and doing and
get abreast of the times and build our
own highway, for 1t is obvious that this
is the only practical and reasonable way
we can or will ever procure such luxury,
such as We are able and entitled to ruiov.
We will not he so absurd as TO build II
down the Maryland line or on the west
ern border and tax the whole state for its
uaiutainence, nor build It near our pres
ent State road and add another expense
TO the state TO keep up TWO state high
wavs We will only need our present
state road made into boulevard aad not
injure anyone or make people homeless
agains, their Will, and let ;he trolley and
pipe lines look ont for their own interests
and buy and pay for what ,hey obtain
Just as we do from them. We would eu-
JOY writing at length upon ,h.s subject
but we hope that this wl satisfy our
Houston friends as 20 our real position
upon this important question.
