BELIEVES ISSUE
Of ROAD BONDS
Will Be CARRIED
Continued From Page ~

the fear that the county convicts might
be taken off road work and put 10
building the iron bridges This will
not be done, however, as in the event
of the success of the bond issue the
work on every bridge and culvert will
be let out by contract Under the
present state laws, bridges are built
by Specifications, and upon set plans
such only as competent bridge build
ers could execute. Sumter's convicts
who are now repairing the old wood
en- bridges, will be taken off that WORK
put back on road work, where they can
do good service. Every iron bridge
built in future, the commissioners as
sert, will be built by contract
The Times-Recorder has endeavore1
to stress the fact that if the $4,000
bond issue is authorized it will save
the county at least $4,000 year, the
difference in the annual cost of the
bonds, which will be $4,000, and the
present cost of keeping up the wooden
bridges, which is about $4,000 year,
There are fifty or sixty wooden bridges
in the county, spanning streams, and
the cost of rebuilding these is very
great; at least $4,000, in the opinion
0f the county commissioners. AS 49,,
600 of bonds will be retired each yea :,
that would be the only cost in the way
of bridge construction
In this way, as in others, the bond
issue will have the effect of reducing
taxes, rather than increasing the rate.
Should the bond issue fail, the tax rate,
as now paid, would have to be increas-
ed in order to defray current expenses
for the roads and bridges.

New York, Feb. 1S.-Police Inspec-

men alleged to have acted as his col
lectors of police graft, have been in (.
dicted by the extraordinary grand jury.
The indictments grew out of the re-
cent confession of Police Captain
Thomas Walsh.
Inspector Sweeney was arraigned
and released on $4,000 bond for hear :
ing later.
The checkbook belonging to John
Toncredi, owner of small restaurant
in the upper East Side, the stubs of

ments to "gendermerie, police" of $50

jury today by District Attorney Whit

Tancredi also was a witness, and,
according to his story, while he had no
bar, and did not violate the law, he
was forced to pay the collector for thu
police every month.
Tancredi's name was given to the
District Attorney by Policeman Eu-

He told the grand jury that he was

| MUTUAL INSURANCE
wins MANY FRIENDS
Mr.. Davenport Has Success
full Business

Elsewhere in this issue of The
Times-Recorder is shown display ad
which tells briefly and clearly the ad-
yantages of mutual benefit insurance,
as represented by the we'll known com
pany for which Mr.. D. F. Davenport Is
agent.
The story of this policy which IS
but typical of the policies issued BY
this company, reads like financial r.,
nance in brief. 1t requires but a
glance to see that the policy-holder re-
ceived the cheapest and best protec-
ton that could well be afforded one By
an insurance company.
The benefits to be gained from mu-
tual benefit policies, when the COM
pany is rightly conducted, are so mani
fest as to need no explanation. The
policy-holder is also member of the
insurance firm, as it were, and profits
as the dividends of the company grow.
Mr.. Davenport has met with great
success here in the sale of these poll
cies. He is always glad to see any
one interested in insurance, and the
most courteous attention will be given
to all inquiries.
