Commissioners are Planning TO
Submit Bond Issue at the
Time of the General
Primary
NO TAXES LEVIED TO
SUPPORT BONDS
Interest and Sinking Funds are
Derived from Other Sources
Many Petitions for
Bridges Received

II tentative plans, discussed and
agreed upon at the meeting Of the
board OF county commissioners Mon
day, are carried out, the people OF
Grady county win again be given an
opportunity to vote upon the question
Of issuing bonds to build bridges for
which the commissioner are deluged
with petitions.
In order to avoid the expenses OF q
special election. it is proposed to hold
the election at the time Of the general
primary early in August It win be-
remembered that a $4,000 bridge
bond issue which was submitted last
fan was voted down It is probable
that approximately the same amount
will be includtd in the call for the
next election.
From all parts of the county petit
tions are constantly coming to the
commissioners asking for bridges and
there are no funds with which to
build them. The only method where
by such funds can be secured Is a d.
rect tax levy or a bond issue and the
latter method for many reasons is
deemed preferable.
SO strong Is the demand for bridges
that in one neighborhood the people
have expressed. a Willingness to con
tribute directly for the purpose This
bridge is wanted north Of Bradley,
acyoss the Washlta and people in that
vicinity have offered to donate $500
toward the construction Of it, Ed AL.
kire, large land owner has also
agreed to donate the right of way
across GOO acres Of land for a new
road to reach the proposed bridge
site.
At present the only outstanding
bonded indeb edness is 100000, voted
for bridges in 1909, and Grady county
has the peculiar distinction Of keep
ing up these bonds without tax levy
for them. County Clerk Joe Lindsay
explained this situation as follows;
I'VE have found the funds derived
from fines and other penalties, togeth-
er with the interest received from the
banks for the use Of county money
more than adequate to meet the in
terest and create a sinking fund fol
our bonds AS these funds can be
used for no other purpose, we have

Great interest is manifested
throughout the whole United States
in the development Of the phosphate
deposits in the Southern States. It
is asserted that many millions of
dollars worth of fertilizers have al
ready been extracted from the phos-
phate rocks Of florida, the Caroli-
mas and Tennessee and that pros
pecting is proceeding in number Of
other states with excellent prospects
of success. In the meantime the
agricultural department has been
advised that a chemist Of New York
has perfected a method of doubling
the available soluble phosphoric
acid of every ton of the rock now in
sight and which may hereafter be
uncovered. The department expects
as result of the experiments made
with this new process that the
plant food of the phosphate rock
deposits will be doubled in value,
and that the agricultural interests
OF the country will be benefited
thereby, because Of the consequent
reduction in price Of all fertilizers of

a great disorganized body While
they nominated Taft with the steam
