GOOD ROADS MEETING
At BETHEL ACADEMY

When the delegation from Bryan
reached the hall in the Bethel Acad-
envy building last night they found the
room packed. 1t was a school meeting
discussing a proposition to build a
splendid new schoolhouse. Every one
of the speeches indicated that the
audience was Overwhelmingly in favor
of the proposed improvement.

the method of working the roads I'M

part: Ten years ago there was not a
graded road in Brazos county. Any

Judging from the testimony adducet

the habit Of juries in accepting de

Mr.. John hurry from Kurten deliv.
cred his regular address opposing the
bond issue because he does not be-
lieve in contracting debt.
The surprise of the evening was
sprung when Attorney ]. G. Minkert
was called for and opposed the bond
issue as county proposition, because
it allowed a pro rata division of the
funds, while good roads district or
precinct would compel the expendi-
ture of all the funds collected in a
district in that particular district, and
would not permit of a strong districts
funds being used to improve weaker
district. He said that the evident In
tention of the originators OF this coun-
ty plan was to get all the railroad
money so it could be used around
Bryan.
Here Prof. Potts arose and stated
that he had first suggested to the Com
mercal Club the change from a dis
trict to county project That his
reason for favoring such plan was
that every part Of the county would
benefit alike from the heavy tax paid
by Bryan and the railroads.
Judge Board here pointed out the
fact that the committee could have,
under the law, laid out any shape or
size district they might have desired;
that If properly signed petition were
presented to the court its only prerog-
alive would have been to order an
election for the proposed district.
Here gentleman from Harvey in
terrupted by asking to see the map
again. Mr.. Lawler spread it out and
asked Judge Board If the committee
could have laid out district across
the county, making a narrow strip
each way from the railroad. Judge
Board said: 1T could"
Now, gentlemen" said Mr.. Lawler,
"you can see how perfectly unfair such
a plan would prove to you. Harvey
could have been cut off forever from
having any benefit for road building
purposes from taxes paid by either the
railroads or the city of Bryan"
Another gentleman called out:
mo! No, Mr.. Minkert, we don't want
any such unfair treatment. Don't you
ever ride on that plank for an office,
for we would surely snow you under"
There were over hundred present,
and the large majority were in hearty |
accord with the present plan for the
bond issue.

Texas burglars are up to date, just

the large amount of business handled
by Mr.. French he is limited on clerk
hire by a state law which says that
he shall receive but $400. The coun-
ty cannot allow him more so that
any additional clerk hire comes out
of his salary of $4,000 per year.
Since he has been treasurer, Mr..
French has devised several short cuts
in the Office bookkeeping which are
too technical to explain in this col
umn. He has simplified the Office
routine in many ways and has be-
come generally more efficient each
year he has held the office. Mr..
