BONDING PROPOSITION DISCUSSED BY SUR
VEYOR FIELD---EXAMPLE IN TRUNK
ROAD TO FORTUNA
PROPERLY CONSTRUCTED HIGHWAYS IF
KEPT IN REPAIR ARE PAYING IN
VESTMENT FOR COUNTY

At the last meeting of the Board of County
Commissioners the Feasibility of putting before
the voters of this county the question of voting
sufficient amount of money by direct taxation to-
build and maintain series of trunk line highways
leading into each business center in the county:
was discussed, but no definite action was had
The opinion was expressed that the farming
interests would vote adversely because of increas-
ed taxation. We do not believe that the farmer
is so blind to his interests this action would
imply or that he u.s. as absolutely ignorant of the
needs Of both himself and the county at large as,
to deliberately vote himself a continuance OF
present road conditions
The matter of good roads has been of SUCH
frequent discussion that the most casual reader
is becoming educated along that line, and all are.
beginning to realize the necessity and economy OF
the fact that under the present system it will re-
quire years to obtain results of satisfactory
nature.
The Present System
They know that the present road fund is to-
tally inadequate for the improvements required,
and they, better than anyone else know the alb
soute necessity for improved means of reaching
shipping points. Also, they are we'll aware that;
the present system throws all the burden OF build
ing and maintainance of roads upon the rural tax
payer and under the plan of direct taxation every
property owner would be made to assist in provid-
ing the means to build and maintain the highways.
1t might as reasonably be argued that the.
property owners of the cities, towns and villages.
would vote adversely, they do not have to de-
liver their produce over the present roads. But
it appeals to me to be of vital interest to urban
citizens as to rural that have an adequate road
system ra-arr

AUSTRIA REFUSES AID
IN EGYPTIAN CAMPAIGN
EMPEROR DECLARES ALL HIS TROOPS ARE
NEEDED FOR THE DEFENSE
AGAINST ITALY

Rome, Dec. Silt is learned that Emperor
Franz Josef has refused to send Austrian troops
to aid the Germans and Turks in the proposed ex-
pediton against Egypt
The emperor contends that all available Aus
trian forces are needed to defend Austrians vest
ern frontiers against Italy.
The Lugano correspondent of the Rome
Tribuna reports that he has interviewed neutral
diplomat just arrived from Vienna, who states
that the kaiser's recent visit to Vienna was most
unexpected and was made for very grave reasons.
Despite the strict censorship the legations and
embassies have learned, says this diplomat, that
the kaiser endeavored to obtain Austrias cooper
alton in Turco- German expedition to Egypt.
Also, he says the kaiser tried to dissuade En-
peror Franz Josef from continuing his peace ef-
forts with the help of King Alfonso.
The diplomatist added that international con-
dtions in the monarchy were grave, owing to the
opposition Of the Slav and the Mayors to the pro-
gressive Germanization of the country.
The Slavs, he said, are now conducting an &C
tive propaganda among the Slav soldiers, with the
result that many regiments have mutinied and in
others various contingents have been court
martialed.

iutely necessary to have more yard

provements were to be carried out.
He said he supposed that II this was
not done, the only way I'm which con-
ditions could be relieved would be to
build a new depot farther up the
river. where there was more room.
