In The Mail Box.

At the Taxpayers Mass-meeting
last Saturday, ! intended TO say .
few words, but the meeting had to
adjourn so that Harry Stokes could
catch the train.
wanted to tell the people that
the citizens Of the End District, from
the forks OF Piney river, down, got
me to make the proposition 70 the
Highway Commissioners at their
meeting at Dickson last Spring,
that il they would build Road No.
Is to the Blueholc Ford, as men
tionel in the law. that the citizens
would then build a pike free OF
charge south from the Bluehole
Ford to the Hickman County line,
and present same 10 the County;
and learn that DR.. Hall OF Pine
wood, and other citizens, agreed to
build road from the Hickman
County line to Pinewood. They re.
fused to do this. but agreed.to grade
and gravel part OF Road No. Is, II
the property owners would agree to
give right-oi.way and remove fences
without cost to the County. The
property owners did this and the
Commissioners graded about one
and one.half miles Of the road but
did not gravel any Of it. We citi.
1ens in this vicinity have agreed to
yravel this mile and half road for
$4,000, but the Commissioners r..
fuse to give US this amount, when
they are paying about 81 10000 to
~ 10000 per mile TO gravel other
roads. This would have been a
saving to the county OF over $1,000,
bu, the Commissioners could not
SEE the business end OF this propo
sition.
Road No, Is is very important as
il il direc. line from the County
Seat Of Dickson County TO the
County Seat Of Hickman County.
The assessment OF all real estate
md sersonal property OF the Coun
" is 81 ,aS6, 5000, The assess,
ment of Railroads, Telephone and
Telegraph Companies is S7sl,605.-
Is, making a total of -. 1853 2h5 %,
She AKA .ssmenl al the 18th District
is SIS $1,000; The LIST District. SOL
$4,000, 2nd District. $65.150 %;
Bird Distinct, SIS, $1,000. These
four Districts practically got no
pixies AT all, The 18th District did
not get one foot Of pike, ana the
Srd District got no pike at all.
Such business as this is why the
people and taxpayers are so dis
satisfied We farmers do not feel
like we ATE being treated right when
we give right. ,f.ways for pixies, and
the Commissioners pay others with
whom they are associated with in
business at the rate Of $4,000 for
running through Is or ~ acres Of
land.
Yours respectfully,
J, \. PEELER.
