ROAD BOND ELECTION ORDERED
Amount of Issue Fixed at Two Hun.
dred Thousand and February 8
Set for Holding Election.

As was announced in these columns
Saturday, the good roads committee
Of the Commercial Club met with the
commissioners court this afternoon at
2 o'clock and presented the largely
signed petition for an election to de,
termine whether or not the bonds OF
the county shall be issued in the sum
Of $500, 600 for the purpose of building
and maintaining a system of good
roads in the county. After the court
had carefully considered the petition,
and the time of year and liability OF
bad weather during time to post the
necessary notices, it was decided and
an order was so issued by the unani-
nous vote of the court that the cleo
ton be held Thursday, February s.
1912, at the different voting places in
the county.
The court made the statement to the
committee that it had fully canvassed
the situation, and that it is now cost
ing the county $4,000 per year to keep
the roads in passable condition; thai
the present rate of taxes for county
purposes is so cents on the 500 val
uation, that if the bond issue carries
the tax rate for county purposes will
be reduced to 80 cents on the 500, and
rs the rate for the bond issue will be
only 20 cents the net raise of the tax
rate will be just cents on the 500.
in other words, if a man votes against
this bond issue and pays taxes on a
value of $1,000, he does so because the
cost to him would be exactly 80 cents
per year.
Judge Board made this statement:
With this bond issue to provide funds
10 put our roads in good condition all
at one time, with the concrete cul-
verts and iron bridges that will be
built, making that o permanent i'm
provement, we can run Brazos county
on a 95-cent tax assessment in better
shape than We now can on 80 cents"
This statement was confirmed by
every commissioner, who said that
this conclusion had been arrived at
p fter a careful survey of the situation,
and knowing how often it is neces-
sary to rebuild roads and bridges as
now constructed.
The members of the committee were
delighted at this statement, as it puts
the taxpayer to so small an extra as
sessment that it will not be consid-
cred

PRES. FINLEY ON
CURRENCY LAWS
Head 81 Southern Railway Dis
csuses Financial Legislation

Washington. Nov. 9.--Speaking
Of the present discussion OF currency
legislation, President Finley. OF the
Southern Railway Company. said:
1.-THE banks OF the southeastern
states compare very fayorably as to
soundness and ability OF manage
ment with those Of any other part
OF the country. This was demon
strated in the panic of 1897 and the
subsequent business depression,
..In the south. as In the west, a
much larger supply OF currency Is
needed during the crop-moying
period than AZ any other time In the
year. The effect OF the present
banking system Is that. during this
crop-moying season and as a result
OF this larger demand for cash, In
terest rates tend 20 advance and
credit is cnrtailed, Notwithstanding
the fact that the farmers OF the
south are bringing TO market hum
dreds OF millions OF dollars worth OF
cotton and other products, ON the
basis of which credit should expand
rather than contract.
i Speaking generally. therefore,
any plan OF currency Legislation
should not only be such AS xill
stand the strain of conditions tend
ling 10 create panies. but should also
be 30 framed as To meet peculiar
sectional requirements. This does
not mean that legislation should BE-
| sectional. for any plan that will en-
able the banks OF the south. or Of
any other locality. TO meet their sea
sonal demands for cash and 10 ex
pand their credit within safe limit
will be beneficial TO the entire
country.
III Is. believe. TO the interes
