PRESERVING ROADS.

Much Alarm 10 the Citizens
Who Voted Bonds to
Build Them.

Tuesday morning at 10 O'Clock the
committee from the Chamber OF
Commerce TO study the road prob
lens in the Waxahachio district met
at the chamber club rooms and
spent some few moments discussing
the needed repairs on the pixies lead
ing into Waxahachie. and the best
method OF procuring such repairs.
Judge O. L. Dunlap as chairman OF
the committee presided over the
meeting. lie explained that district
No. 1 in Ellis county had voted
$3.50. eco In road bends for the pur-
pose of piking the public roads. AT
that time he explained the special
tax to create sinking fund and
interest fund was levied in the sum
of 25 cents on the sl00 valuation,
but the increased property valuations
and the retirement OF $4,000 worth
Of bonds had reduced the tax rate
to Is cents on the S100.
lie declared that the pixies must
be completely resurfaced with a
high grade material to preserve them
ard that the only available means
vas an additional bond issue of APP
proximately 100000, which ought
to resurfaee the entire mileage OF
the district. Judge Dunlap explain
ed that the general tax of Is cents
on the 500 valuation was sufficient
perhaps to keep the pixies in repair
If the sum was expended within the
district He suggested certain
changes in the laws with regard to
the maintenance of roads which
would put the roads of the county
| under tho care of a supervisory en-
gineer. He expressed the belief that
the people were entitled to such a
law and that it could be lad upon
demand
II was decided, however, to meet
again on Friday night of this week
| to further discuss the methods o.
procedure, at which time the public
las invitation to be present and take
part In the discussions. The COM
mittee wants to devise some means
foi keeping the pixies of district No.
in better condition and prevent
their final destruction.
