Reckon it's True?

Some time ago the county com
missioners designated the Ghetto
pa road as a county road, and fol
a short distance ran an alleged
road grading machine over 1t.
True, the machine did not dc
the road any good, but it made a
trip anyway.
At the present time the Ghetto
pa road is in a horrible condi-
tion, much worse than for many
years, and people who have to
travel, naturally wonder why
the commissioners do not run the
machine over the road a few
times and put the road in at
least passable condition.
We have been led to believe
that the machine is not a sue
cess. We are under the impress
sion. and we think we are right,
that the machine is entirely too
heavy to use on a soft road, and
by the time the road gets solid
enough to hold the machine up,
the road is too hard to drag. We
have been told that this is true.
In fact, we have heard it rum
ored that the machine has been
sprung so badly that it is not fit
for use.
The automobile owners of this
county paid a state tax on their
machines, and this tax was to be
used in maintaining the county
roads. If one of these alleged
county roads is in as good condi-
tion as it was before the machine
was bought we would like to
know it.
Either the county commission
ers are mighty negligent, or the
machine is worthless. Which
is it?
First thing the county COM
missioners know, the automobile
owners of the county will hold
an indignation meeting and de.
mand that the roads designated
rs county roads be made roads.
And when they do the county
commissioners are going to give
them a mighty respectful hear.
ing. Just mark this prediction.
A movement is already on foot
to organize the automobilists for
this very purpose, and when the
organization is perfected, just
