OF Glen Dean, Writes in Reply
to County Attorneys Article
Recently Published on Road
Bonds.

Dear Mr.. BAbbage: Having recently
read our County Attorneys article in
your paper in regard TO calling for road
bonds, 1t seems to me that there is a
better way than this. Should there be
an election called, who would vote on
the issue2 The voters If the county, of
course. But who will ay the tax, the
property holders to be sure: thus allow
pay ceut of the tax. /, Sc, ms to me
that the taxpayers of the railroad dis
trict at least would fight such an cleo
ton to the last ditch, tor we are now
paying tax that was voted on us by
voters who have never been called to
paw one cent of this tax because they
have no property.
Ii it is necessary to call such an cleo
ton, then allow the voters affected by
such bond issue TO vote on it. This
road proposition, as Mr.. Murray says,
has been worked many ways, but
think never properly in the first place.
There is road supervisor that think
the tax payers would be much better
off without. He certainly has done but
little toward the betterment of the
roads in our section.
Now, for one, am in favor of doing
away with the supervisor and having
the County Judge appoint an overseer
on each road and give each overseer
the money paid on his road, and such
overseer give bond for said amount,
ard have him to turn in an itemized ac-
count to said County Judge; also said
overseer to serve without pay, hence
giving the road the benefit of the whole
amount. 1t seems to me when a crew
of men know they are getting all the
tax money they pay that they would
take more interest in their roads, but as
it is now, many of the roads do not get
a cent, which TO say the least, is very
unjust. | know some few public spir-
tied men have donated some on their
roads in order to get help from the
county, and great many more that
should nave done SO, but il has ever
been the case that few have the burden
to bear.
]. G.. Norman and myself have
pulled the grader free of charge for the
past two years-hauled it from the
Falls of Rough-and what have we re.
ceived from the county? Four culvcrts.
Hence think justice demands that ev.
cry road have its own tax money. Let's
toy giving the taxpayer the benefit of
his taxes without having so many take
outs, and see if the roads won't be
found in better condition in one year
from now.
Yours for good roads, and willing to
give as much free labor as feel justi-
fed in doing.
Respectfully,
W.. J. Robertson,
Glen Dean. Ky.

RAILROAD SHOPS WILL Be REBUILT;

jOicing.
PRESIDENT HUDSON HERE

Cloverport are particularly glad that
the shops are being rebuilt, as it would
have been the breaking up of many
homes had the plant been moved to
another city.
Frank Ferry, master mechanic of the
L., H. & St. L has had his Office on
the grounds ever since the fire and
much necessary work has been done,
giving employment to many. How
ever, several of the men, oldest in the
Henderson Route service, were sent to
Louisville where they are working for
the road in the L. 81 N. shops.
"Will the shops be rebuilt in Glover
port?" This question has been asked
hundreds of times since March IA, and
now that it is answered, the business
men are more optimistic than they have
been for years. With new railroad
shops, Cloverport will take on new life
in business way. The citizens are
very appreciative to all those respon
sible for the decision to rebuild the
shops in this city.
