ner for this our Fourth Ward was
duly received. Sorry that I an
forced to decline the appoint.
ment for the following reasons:
That the revenues to be raised
from the present ward assessment
are inadequate to furnish suffi.
cient gravel roads throughout the
ward based On a five mill tax; So
that the people Of the ward would
derive direct benefit. Another
reason is that our country is at
war which might bring along a
number of complications tending
to make this tax a burden.
