Town Council Asked for Account of
Their Stewardship
EDITOR LEXINGTON GAzErrr

EDITOR LEXINGTON GAZETTE:
1t is with some reluctance that
write this communication to inform
the taxpayers what the present
Council have done and left undone.
But feel it is a duty which some
one should do.
In the first place the Council tried
to get the county to take the public
roads leading one mile from the cor
poration each way, for which they
agreed to pay eleven cents on the
dollar to the county. This would
have amounted to over 1000 per
year to the people Of Lexington, or
a debt of $50, 900 against the town at
per cent, and it will be remem-
bered that at mass meeting of the
people this was stopped in the nick
of time
Second. The Council asked to be
given thirty thousand dollars
to Fix up the streets and roads. end
1T was given, and behold, what was
done with a large part of this
$50, 600? 1t was used to make what
is called tarvia streets, which cost
at the rate OF 1913, 600 per mile. But
this kind ofstreet was claimed to be
dustless, an d every one knows that
the street now is not a whit better
than the street above and below it.
So much, then. for your dustless
street at $50, 900 per mile. And | was
informed by one of the Couucilmen
that only $4,000 was left to fix up
the balance of the streets.
Third. The dear Council came
again and asked the people to give
them seventy-6ve thousand dollars
10 get more water for the town,
which was voted for. The Council
wants to use this $50, 900 to go ten
or twelve miles for water that is
claimed by them to have only a sup
ply in summer of $50, 900 gallons per
day Of - hours. l am informed
that the Council are asking for bids
on wooden pipe the most of the way
so the work can be done within the
appropriation. This will only be a
makeshift, for it will give trouble
sooner or later, and this will work
out about the way the dustless
streets have done.
Fourth. Why has the Council
kept from the people a published
account Of sums paid out. to whom
and for what service rendered TO
the town, IN the way that the County
Supervisors publish the expenses
OF the county and who received the
sums paid by the treasurer. and for
what service? Thiso used to be
done. Why it was stopped can t
imagine.
So, City Fathers, give account of
your steward ship.
