ued at 81 900 would have to pay an adj
ditional tax of $500: property valued
at 81 800 would pay an. additional tax
of IS, 90; property assessed at So, DOC
would pay $1,000 additional tax. There
is hardly an individual in the county
who would not receive each year BEN
efits worth largely more than this tax
amounts to by reason OF having sys-
tenn of macadamized roads over the
county; the amount of travel and haul
ing and marketing of produce and the
benefit to the children in going to and
from school any year would more than
offset this expense, to say nothing OF
the pleasure that everyone would de-
rive from the roads and many other
advantages.
Now with these preliminary state
ments | will endeavor to show how the
bonds would be paid off with the 40
cent tax in addition to paying the inter-
est and keeping up the roads, and to
show this it is necessary to 60 back
thirty years and come forward and show
what the result would have been had a
40 cent tax been levied thirty years ago
for road purposes and collected each
year from that time till the year 1914.
The assessed value of the property in
the county for the last thirty years is
as follows:

The total value of all property assessed
during the thirty years is $233, Sac, 1856,
which, divided by the number OF years
(thirty), would give an average annual
assessment Of 81, 461 900; SO that If we

each year since, including the year 1914,
the average amount of property on
which this tax would have been levied
each year would have been 81, 461, 900
instead of $3,675, 603, the amount the
property was assessed at in 1885.

in Serbia is its utter unlikeness to
that in France. Trenches are con-
structed for only temporary use in
actual battle The broken country ia
cilitates the employment of tactical
skill in which the French seem to be
superior to the Bulgarians, notwith-
standing their lack of familiarity with
the country.
Neither battlefelds nor encamp-
ments resemble in the least those in
France The soldiers here are camp
ed In tents in the open plain, as the
Bulgarians thus far have not employ

ed frequently to keep pace with the
movements of the battle lines.
Artillerymen for the first time since
the beginning OF the war have the OPP
portunity Of seeing the mark at which
they are aiming. The famous French
3-inch guns, firing almost with the
rapidity of machine guns, inflict ex-
traordinary havoc on the Bulgarians.
