S176,5O9.41, leaving, after the county s
expenses for all purposes are met the
sum of s15,32O56 for other purposes.
The proposed five-mill tax for road
purposes would yield s1O7, 364.73, which
added to the present surplus and de-
Quoting the average payment for inter

leave a county surplus of s49,060.29.

The circular continues:
at is self-evident from the foregoing
statements that the proposed million
dollar bond issue is not formidable
proposition but a desirable one.
IF II still looks big to you, further
consider that in the past ten years
this county has spent 1915, 257.43 in
patching its dirt roads.
Multiply this figure by two and you
have approximately the sum that will
be spent in the next twenty years
practically 100000 without consider
ing a natural increase in expendi-
ture.
Judging from the past, our county
roads at the end of that time would be
largely in the same deplorable condi-
