MILLION Dollar BOND
issue FOR WAYNE
VOTE TO BE TAKEN MARCH
TwENTy-NlNTH ON BIG
FUND FOR ROADS.

Our naighbor county OF Wayne. Just
ACROSS the Big Sandy In West Virginia.
win vote on March 20 on the question
Of whether or not 20 bond the county
for one million dollars for good roads.
II the issue carries we are told that
4 viii mean a million dollars more
from the State and the United States,
under the aid laws. making a total
road fund OF two millions.
This proposition should receive the
support OF every voter In Wayne-co. II
n the biggest and best business oppor
tunity ever presented TO the people of
tho good county OF Wayne. and we can
not think OF one reason why any citi
zen should oppose f.
with such system OF good roads as
this fund would build. Wayne would
leap 10 the front. and the only persons
who would not profit by the resulting
prosperity would be the lazy cusses
who refuse TO work or to take advant-
ago OF any progressive opportunity
whatever.
A small bond Issue for Wayne would
prove n waste OF time and money. and
we would advise againN supporting
such a measure: but the large issue
now proposed win enable the officials
10 cover the county with an effective
system all at one time. The work win
be done under government supervision
and engineering. which IL a very im-
portnnt matter. insuring the best re-
suits.
Wayne can AFFORD million dollar Is
sue. Her taxable property totals more
than twenty millions, The railroads and

tween si1B. .os0 and $4,000 year In
taxes. This bond issue IN easily within
the bounds OF good business.
The county can not afford 10 refuse
TO avail itself OF this chance to get the
State and government aid. because
Wayne must pay her part into the
State road fund anyway. and II she
does not meet tho conditions and take
her share IL will be divided amongst
the other counties that are issuing
bonds for road building. And this Is the
very best time 10 close the matter. be-
cause later on there will be 20 many
counties golnf after the State fund
tls=ls Il win Leave only n small appor-
fionment for each. The arrangement is
new and counties are slow In starting,
