To The Voters On Unpaved Streets.

The City of Salem has today, approximately Sc miles
OF hard surfaced streets, including both paved and macad-
AIMED roads. About IS miles of Streets have no class of
improvement whatsoever. If the Richardson Amend
ment' should carry it would double the present tax of
every resident of the city, both those on paved streets and
those on streets unpaved, to pay for the pavement now
lad. II you live on a mud road and are paving for the
pavement in front of the residence of a man residing on
Court street, are you not as much entitled to have your
Street paved as he is to enjoy the benefits of the one laid
past his property?f it will double your taxes to pay for
the pavement now laid what chance do yoN think there
VIII be to get the tax payers to again double their taxes to
pave your mud road?
Every thinking man knows that there is none. The
proposed amendment is full of injustice but to the man
on an unpaved street the injustice is greater than to any
one else. Don't be deceived by false promises. If this
measure is adopted the man on an unpaved street makes
OF himself a mud hen" perpetually while his neighbor on
arlstocratic avenue rides over his pavement at the mud
hens expense. If you have something to donate give it
to the Red Cross or some other war activity but don't do
nate to the man who does not need it and tie YOUR own
hands SO that your street can never be improved.
