THE CRTTTENDEN RECORD-PRESs

MAINTAIN our improved roads SHOULD
bond issue carry and keep up our
other roads so we could get to improved
road at all.
| can not be accused of opposing the
bond issue from self;shness and live
on one of the main roads of county,
and would stand show of getting inn
proved roads passed my door, am in
mercanlie business and have some
thing or other hauled practically every
week of the year and my saving in
hauling would amount to more than my
individual tax. | oppose bond issue
because no one seems to know any
thing about what we viii get or how
we will get it.
We were first assured we would have
800, 900. Oh or nearly so, to build roads,
this is now cut to SlS5, 10000. We.
who oppose the bond issue. were laugh
ed to scorn and made to look silly by
statements sent broadcast that Crit
tenden county's proportion of govern
ment aid would be about Sl20, 900 90.
What are the present claims? About
| 500, 600 90. Get some boy or girl who
can work a problem in long division to
divide 81, 800, 10000 Kentucky's part
(f the bill finally becomes law. which
it hasn't yet although think 1t win
by 100 the number Of counties in Ken
lucky, and see if it Is $50, 10000 even.
We. or at least, can't accept simple
statement that Crittenden is entitled
to more than equal share until they
can show me why.
believe we need leaders. but don't
think anyone should attempt to lead US
into thing they know nothing OF
themselves and believe we should
make haste slowly in following people
who cross themselves so often in Q
thing so vital as this. Thirty days age

road bonds, would tell you our only
way to secure State aid. was TO vot,
