Said M. P. Messer: q am in favor of any bond issue for legitimate, sensible purposes. where the money is safeguard ed and capable men handle it.
 "A bond issue not only gives the coun- ty the thing desired, but the money Is spent here, and goes into all our stores, and every home of every class. The more of this kind of. money spent here the better, in my opinion.
 That we need better roads is a fore gone conclusion. That a commission should handle the proposition is a neces- sity.
 q am in favor of the commission idea. wherever it appears. The sanitary sewer Is just a good example of what it means. hope to see a bond issue, with com potent commission in charge, at work on ouSs roads within the year. If every public spirited citizen would get behind the movement we would have results"

'1f we can improve the present condi- ton of our streets and roads by making the $1 .000,00O bond issue for this purpose '' said E. T. Shaw. "then I am in favor of starting to work at once. The public thoroughfares are badly in need of inn provement, and I am impressed with this fact every day by the great incon- venience I see that sick people must suf- fer in being carried to and from the hos pitals in ambulances.
 'It is not to be doubted, however, that the expenditure of $1,OOo.O0o is a very great responsibility, and when the coun- ty lays its citizens liable for the debt to be involved In building good roads, of course I think we should go into the matter with the utmost judgment and deliberatlon. am willing to assume my part of the responsibility and help in any other way the movement on foot to have better streets and roads,"
