SPECIAL ELECTION TOMORROW
PROPOSED ISSUE OF $4,000 BE voT
ED oN-eooD ROADS COMMITTEE COMMERCIAL
ISSUES ADDRESS.

Tomorrow is the day the special
election throughout the county to ap-
prove or reject the Board of Super
visors proposal to issue $4,000 of
general county bonds, the proceeds of
which are to be used for road pur-
poses in Forrest county.
The goods roads committee of the
Commercial Club, a body that has
given much study to the subject of
the best method for getting good
roads, met this morning and adopted
an address to the voters of the coun-
ty which is a follows
To the Voters of Forrest County:
Tomorrow you will be called upon
to vote for or against the $4,000
County Bond Issue for good roads.
We favor good roads and have been
investigating for the past fifteen
months the best method of getting
them. 1t is OUT opinion that the
Beat plan is better than a general
county issue and for that reason we
believe the people should vote against

the $4,000 issue tomorrow.
We now have a petition signed by
over 400 of the voters of Beats 1 and
8 asking for a bond issue of 500, 600
to be used on the roads in these
beats, and this petition will be filed
with the Board of Supervisors at
their next meeting.
There are numerous reasons in
favor of the Beat plan and without
attempting to innumerate them all,
we believe the fact, that under this
system the law requires that the mon
ey be spent under the direction of a
commission and a competent engi-
neer appointed for that purpose and
that the law further directs as to
how the roads shall be built, is Of
itself sufficient reason for its pref
erence over the county system under
which the $4,000 you will vote on
tomorrow will be spent if carried.
Vote against the bond issue to-
morrow.
