Every county in South Carolina
wastes enough money every ten years
to build permanent roads In the coun-
ty and at the end of the ten wear
period the roads are no better ;6an
they were ten years before. In Ihia
day the county that does not buiId
roads Is going to fall behind in the
constructive advancement Of the are.
To levy sufficient tax In one year 90
build roads would be burdensome.
The only sensible plan is TO issue
bonds and build the roads and TINS
spread the payment of the bonds over
u hummer OF years and the harden
ial!s lightly on all. There are those

presiding officer who had NO children

tax payer asked the privilege OF cast

Is Eassing strange. The thing 20 do
Is TO show him 1t is to, his interest

i remember once where q township
proposed to vote bonds for roads. and
some Of the citizens opposed IL orfstsSe

ANY man In Anderson County. for
