Where They VIII Vote.

The major porlon Of Tulsa county,

trlct No. /, will either have good
roads within the next year or two,
or else manage to get along with the
present dust-ridden, muddy highways
with which It is now -worked-the
choice Of these two conditions Will be
placed before the voters residing IN
this district today If three-fourths
OF the votes cast at todays election
favor the authorization of $500 900 In
bonds for good road building the for
mer improvement will take place.
That only inclement weather, pre-
venting many in favor Of the bonds
from going to the polls, alone Will
defeat the issue. was the unanimous
opinion of coterie Of representative
}, town builders who met last night at
the Commercial Club and outlined
course Of action, intended to get out
as nearly the fun voting strength OF
tho city Of Tulsa and the rural part
of the road district, in today's cleo
ton, as the combined efforts Of a
score or more Of workers, a half
hundred automobiles and thirty car
rlages can bring to the polls.
The proposed authorization TO be
voted upon today Is the largest single
one for good road purposes ever
voted upon in Oklahoma. If the
proposition carries. Tulsa county will
be placed in the lead OF all counties
H. Oklahoma in public improvements
while the rest will trail along In the
vanguard.
} No election is perhaps more I'M
portant to any community than one
Of the character of bond authori2a-
ton for the very simple reason that
public Improvement bonds affect, in
most instances, the county and city
tax levy, and. in every case, an at
tendant increase In value Of every
piece Of property In the territory af-
fected. Therefore, 1t is evident that
every taxpayer in this road district
and especially in the city of Tulsa,
should go to the polls today and cast
his vote either for or against the ad-
vancement OF Tulsa, city and county

the country, as little If any, agitation
either for or against the bonds, has
been noted in this section of the road
