$50 l bring as my message to you,
Get the money. There arc three ways
in which this can be done. First. get
your cities along the proposed route
to appropriate sum for improving the
roads entering the city. y bin passed
at the Previous session OF the Lcgis.
iature allows cities To improve roads
within ten miles OF the corporate
limits of tho municipality. Then pri-
vhtc subscriptions from citizens can
he made. Third. bond issues can ba
made. If YOU Issue bonds for the
purpose of building roads you are not
leaving debt TO posterity, but you
/, are achieving something. The moment
good roads are built you increase and
enhance property values. Thus. even
should you pass into the great beyond
before the bonds mature. YOU are
leaving to your heirs greater values
because the debt incurred.
Il charge you folks to do some
thing. Don't let hot air characterize
your meeting, as II has done various
good roads meetings held heretofore.
The great trouble has been too much
hot air. NNe have listened to too many
speeches. Now let's get the money.

perity to all. SO let everybody work
together get the money and then the
road building will be simply an Incl

ana help you do anything that you
