Clay County.

Vt1y CoUnty.
Clay County roads need but little
grading and gravel is plentiful. En-
gineers estimate the expense Of grad
ing and graveling their county road
system at 100000 per mile or $780,
900 for their 140 miles. On present
valuation their road tax raises $4,000
and their portion of automobile tax
brings their total fund to $4,000. Their
road maintenance the past three
years has averaged $4,000 per year. In
three years, they will raise $120,000,00
and allowing $2O,ooO.OO for mainten-
ance have 100000 to apply on their
total expenses of $4,000, leaving them
in debt after the grading and gravel
ing of their 14O miles is done $780,
100000. Allowing 500 per mile per
year for maintenance on the 140
miles or $4,000, which deducted from
the income Of $4,000 will leave s26..
900 to apply to the bonds. The en-
tire debt and all interest would be
discharged in nine years.
