The Bridge Question Again.

We are requested to copy the article
of Mr.. H. c. Page on the bridge ques
ton f. ON last weeks FarmersA vocate
wh'ch we give as follows:
My letter of June 14th, expected
to be my final word on the bridge
question. | wish now, however tc
call attention to some statements in
a letter of Captain Getzendanner just
published.
!, First, l must say | am surprised al
the liberty the Captain takes with
rhetorical construction. He takes
parts of two sentences in my letter
puts them together, and makes a d.
rect quotation, even using capital
by way of emphasis, and makes me
say--"We will be generous and will
estimate the receipts of this toll
bridge to a timber company at $500
per annum." He then advises me ito
be just before being generous" Does
the Captain think the above method
quite fair, to say nothing of being
just? But we will see further on how
the Captain seeks to be Gust" 1t is
quite possible however, that he had
connected this proposed bridge
for truly it is only proposed bridge
as yeti in his minds eye with certain
timberlands for so long time, as to
actually feel that the bridge is a
verify, or soon to be so. | am con-
firmed in this opinion, If my infor-
nation is correct, by the fact that he
has promised the place of bridge
keeper" to the present worthy ferry
man at Manning's ferry, or at least
has given assurances to him that he
can get the place.
| have, however, no disposition to
find fault with the Captain for want
ing a bridge across the river The
question that concerns me most is,
will the people of Charles Town Dis
trict vote to bond themselves up to
the limit of their borrowing power
to build it, This is matter of prac-
teal business, and not one of philan-
thropy, and should be looked at from
a business view point. If you do not
think it is business matter, you will
find it out when you look at your tax
bills for the balance of your life. But
let us get down to business and look
at few facts in answer to state
ments made in the Captains letter.
First, take the statement made in
reference TO the bridges in Clarke
county. In my former letter | stated
the cost ofthe bridge to the County
over receipts for the past four years
to be $97579. The Captains state
ment would show a debit balance of
from $500 to $500, or an average for
the four years given of only $52S.72
| took the earnings and expense ac-
count for the years 1912, 1911, 1910
and 1909. | have also before me a
statement signed by the County treas
urer, Mr.. Bradford, The earning ex-
pense account for these years, as
taken from his signed statement is
