resulting from the withdrawal Of the

of the general claim for need Of more

duced by respondent in support of its

THE BOND PROPOSITION.

Replying to ''The Bond Issue
Discussed" written by Mr.. Cor
don. Montgomery, our County
Attorney, which appeared last
week, in the News, as we'll as
circular form, l feel it a duty,
not pleasure, to pass such crit
icism as its inaccuracies and mis-
leading conclusions warrant. 1
do not mean to go farther than
the facts justify in my support
of the proposition, nor do I be-
lieve that others should do so,
whether for or against it. There
is no reason to justify anyone in
presenting distorted figures, and
incorrect arguments to secure a
favorable verdict, and if a man
desires to instruct he ought to do
it correctly.
he states that the taxable list
of property, in this county, in
round numbers, is 100000,
and makes his calculations on
that base. The books show our
taxable property to be 1854, =
9S5. and franchise. S1I2. 422
making a total of So, 807, 4O7, so
it is readily seen that his base
is wrong $207, 407. If base is
wrong and his reasoning correct,
the result is also wrong.
He states that a 3Oc. levy
would produce $500, but it will
produce So, 422 %, a difference
of $622.22 per year.
He states that the kind of road
that the State will aid in build
ing will cost in Adair county, on
an average, of not less than ST.
400 per mile. The fact is, that
the State makes no such require
ment as to cost nor exacts it of
this county. He says, this esti-
mate is based on the cost per
mile of the road which Adair
county has already planned to
build from Columbia to Liberty.
This estimate was made on the
twelve-foot metal crowned road
which the Fiscal Court decided
to build, but which will not be
accepted by the State, as he is
bound to know. The State will
. accept a nine, ten, or fourteen
foot road and the cost will be in
proportion to its width.
