County Bonds for Million and Half
to Build Good Roads.

The and one half million-dolar bond issue dis
cussed by the County Commissioners for good roads pur
poses is in the right direction
And why not bond the county for 81 100000 for the
purpose of building permanent highways? It would
tually save money for the taxpayers every year.
This amount of money would build at least 80 miles
OF paved road That IS miles than have today
in clay roads 1t would paved roads north and
south the full length of the county and several
roads and west.
And these roads would cost nothng-or practically
nothing-to maintain
The interest 81 100000 at AZ per cent. would
be only SGT 800 per year We spending for road
construction and maintenance (mosty maintenance which
doesn't mainain) S45O000O per year. We pay in ad
dtion that about So 10000 year paid now. If
road aborers, making $50oO0OO year paid If
we had permanent paved roads could save this
100000 and lease convcts to other county
and receive almost enough to make up the balance.
It would therefore us nothing pave Escambia
county And what would those paved roads do?
They would double the value of practically every
of farm land in the county They would double the
population of the county outside of the city in five years
The settlers alone would pay enough to take
of this bond issue if you to figure it that
The idea of bond issue is good and particularly
when it will cost any taxpayer dollar more than
he is annually paying
If the bond ISSUE is not good thng-why not?

having sore throat, let alone dtphthe-
ria. I took UP my regular work the
morning OF July 21st and have worked
about eighteen hours a day ever since
/ had not been off the milk route one
day. I have not had sore throat, not
employed a doctor, and have bought
no medicines from any drug store or
any other place for sore throat. The
hrst case reported here was the baby
of Mr.. p. D. Beville and he has his
own milk supply. I have not been in
side Of Mr.. Bevflie's yard in six
months or more and neither have
talked with any Of the family, with
the exception Of Mr.. Bevine and that
was before I went north. I suppose
there are between one hundred and
nfty and two hundred people that use
the milk supply but Of this number
there are between fifteen and twenty
people who have dfphtheria. The local
doctors did not know what the trouble
was at first and as soon as the truth
was known l used means to prevent
the spread Of the disease through the
milk I supplied. Drs. Taylor and Nc
