LET THE TOWNS PAY MONEY

To the Free Press: A few days
ago ] read an article in your paper
in which it was suggested that the
county appropriate $50 to the the
towns for dragging the roads the
coming summer. | do not just agree
with that idea. | think the thing to
do is to let each town at it's annual
town meeting Tuesday raise say 500
for that purpose. We have been
haraSsing the county board for
bridges and culvertS till the fund is
largely Overdrawn, There would be
plenty of money to build bridges if
the towns would not come in and
ask for such items. | believe the
towns should raise a sufficient
amount of money TO keep the roads
in good shape.-C. G. Johnson.
