Every man has, or should lave a
reason for his position on any public
, question or public enterprise.
We must all admit that the good
roads movement has been growinfi
and well II should, for good roads
are to the country what good streets
are to tho town or city, there Is not
anything that enhances the value so
much In the city as good streets and
sidewalks. to say Rpthing Of the com
fort they AFFORD people In their daily
yocatlons. and the same will apply to
good roads In the country.
Therefore. believing that bond is-
sue would come sooner or later and
perhaps a large rome and one which
would necessitate a special tax to pro
vide for, thereby placing an extra
burden on the people. and one which
they are not ableto bear at this time
hence my first reason for the issue Is
First-It will not place an extra
burden on us for the reason that our
present rate Of tax will provide for
the $4,000 Issue. by setting aside 9
cents of the present road and bridge
tax to provide a sinking fund and In
terest fund to care for them
Make your calculations, using our
last years assessed valuation as
basis. the same being S6,iOO,OOo.oo
In round numbers, and the time OF
the bonds 40 years; the Jaw requires
that one-fortleth OF the total amount
ui the bonds must be collected every
year to provide for the necessary
amount to take up the bonds at the
expiration OF that time
We now. hnd that one-fortieth oi
100000 is sl.25O.O0 and that the
interest at 5 per cent would be w.
10000 a year. therefore that amount
also must be provided for, now We
have total OF $4,000 that must
be collected to care for the sinking
fund and interest and you will see at
once that cents on the hundred dol
iars on the 6.tOO.OOO.OO would make
the amount $4,000 or $4,000 more
than the required amount to taRe
care Of the bond issue Of s5O,ooo'oo
aud would leave us 9 cents for re-
pair and maintenance fund on our
roads. and to improve lateral roads
and at the same time cannot place an
additional ia Son the people ana as
these bonds will be issued under the
old law. they must be provided Tor
out OF the present road and bridge
levy. which by law cannot be over
Is cents on the hundred dollars
Now II the cents on the hundred
dollars. with the assessed valuation
Of 1918. at 5000. .oo.oo provides for
