The GOOD ROADS QUESTION


your cream? To the two-shovel TO
pillow your cornY No, they are cast in
the junk heaps, and we have advanced
TO a better system, where we will get
better results.
In conclusion, will say, 81 counties
have adopted the system and only one
ever voted il out and that one stayed
out only one year and then voted it
back by majority of z TO l.
Remember, you can get rid of this
system by petition to the board of
supervisors. What more evidence do
you want that this system is a good
thing. when 81 counties have adopted
it and not one has rejected it. Get
busy and post yourselves on this ques-
ton and then if you think it is a good
thing for Van Buren, county vote for
it. But on the other hand, after
thorough consideration of the subject
You think otherwise, vote it down.
Yours for better roa DIS,

The True Northerner,

Dear Sir:
In the last issue of your paper there
appeared an article over the signature
of f.. A Chase, supervisor Of Waverly
township, against the county roads
system that is being advocated in this
county, and ii demands a reply from
me. 1t seems that he was inspired to
write this article from report of the
good roads meeting held in Paw Paw
last February and from the following
statement made in the report, at
would give us about 200 miles of per-
feet roads with the space of five
years time without any expense to
the township" Mr.. Chase blames me
and has gene e the ether extreme
and implies that the campaign for
good roads will be closed with a whirl-
wind of Misrepresentation.
Now, In reply l want to say that
read the report of the Paw Paw meet
ing and the above statement at the
time it was published, but as l was in
no way responsible for it l thought it
advisable to make no correction until
it was brought up by someone, but
little expected it from Mr.. Chase as
know him to be man of good judg-
ment and a man whose fairness has
never been questioned. However, he
quotes from the report of the Wayne
county commissioner, and if ne will
examine the records of Wayne county
he will find that the city of Detroit
pays IS per cent of the cost of the
roads and the seven incorporated viii
lagos pay s per cent, leaving but 7
per cent for the townships to pay, and
Greenfield township, Wayne county,
voted against the county system al
though they have two county roads
across their township and only pay
dred dollars spent on the roads Why?
Simply because they do not under
stand the question, and would not un-
derstand it. But Mr.. Chase is not that
kind Of a man. He will look into the
question the same as a majority of
the voters have in 81 counties Of the
state, and before April first I antici-
pate that he will be talking for it and
l am quite sure he will vote for it on
election day.
Others have asked me for the privi-
lege of answering Mr.. Chase and l
will leave it to them, promising that
any matter that give to the papers or
any statement | may make about the
county system will be the truth as
see il and borne out Of facts
Yours respectfully,
DAVIS HAVEN.
