and $1,000 more for planting

gravel as may be needed TO keep
the roads in prime condition.
This total of VA 100 We proceed

funds, and add TO the remainder

S62, on June |, 1920.
Five years have now passed,
during which time We have been
graveling and travelling fine
roads, and have used hundreds of
dollars in identifying them by
planting shade trees, etc, with
ont the slightest increase in our
taxes And we want this to soak
into the minds of all taxpayers.
Besides, we have met all inter
est charges promptly; have de
posted in our sinking fund for
our bonded Indebtedness. against
one sixth of the time for which
the bonds run; and have on
hand the considerable sum of
$40, SOP 3d. Having all this money
ON hand, with no increase of tax
es-please note that fact-and our
main roads beginning 10 show
some wear. we will, in order so
keep them in strictly first class
condition and 10 still further
beautify them. take, not only our
sinking fund deposit. and the an
nual interest ON the remaining
Indebtedness, but We will put to
the road fund for immediate use,
practically $40 per mile for every
mile of road in the county, and
what the supervisors cannot use
on the roadway proper, We insist
they use in planting more shade
trees, and still further beautlfy-
ing the public common. For
there are people in the county
who can appreciate the beuauti-
| ful as well as the useful, no less
than in our towns. SO this year
We will reduce our special fund,
not by $4,000, as We would ny
the former appropriation. but will
give $4,000 TO the road fund,
and make the sum $3l, 700 instead
and thus reduce our special fund
| TO 81, 1928 for June |, 1921.
But Immediately we have the
State and county appropriations
of $32, 900 to add. which raises
our special fund to S73, 1928, on
which we will draw interest u
mounting to S2,92649 and giving
us a total of $76,0ss.S2. From
this we will again take of interest
for our bonded indebtedness, 81,
250. sinking fund deposit 10000
upkeep $1,000, leaving us S52,
lS3S.s2 which we Immediately IN
crease by $4,000 of State and
lcountv funds. and which gives Us
$S4. $685. 50. on which we wal
draw in interest $3,393.55, giving
us total fund of SSs,232.37 on
June |. 1923. But We must now
again pay our interest, $1,000, OF
$4,000 of bonds still uprovided
for, $4,000 of sinking fund, and
$1,000 upkeep, and IT leaves us
with 500, 1927. which we will al
once increase with the State and
county appropriations of s52, 600
making $97 1927 with interest
during the year of 1887 %, on
a total of Sl0l 1896 at the close
of the fiscal year, June |, 1924
Again we must pay our interest
of Sl0,050. and the ten thousand
of sinking fund deposit and -,
600 for upkeep, amounting in all
to $22. 1850, leaving as when the
$50 900 of State and county ap-
preparations have been added
I$ll0,979.12 at the beginning OF
new fiscal year, June |, 1925. To
this add the annual interest OF
$4,439.l6, making total OF
$ll5,0lS.2s. From this We must
again take the bond interest OF
80, 800, the sinking fund of So
900, the upkeep OF $1,000, max
ing in all $2l, 10000, leaving us
$93.5lS.2S TO which we immediate

county. which increase the a
