Supervisors in County Which Has

are Explained.

Of Federal Road
Aid.

The city and county has been
hooded within the last couple of days
with information more or less mis-
leading about the special road cleo
ton. A local man who is interested
In the project has received from the
Scott county supervisors number
OF answers to questions which have
been raised by this project, and
which seem to answer IN most re.
spects the arguments raised against
the project in the pamphlets and
publications which were circulated
through the county yesterday.
Some people are asking what will
happen to the rest of the Lee county
road system in case the hard road
project passes for the primary sys.
tenn. The answer is that there will
be more money to spend on the sec
ondary system than there is now FOR
the reason that the general county
road fund is now being used on both
primary and secondary systems, and
II the hard surface proposition car
ried next Tuesday, then all OF the
general county road rund will be
used to improve the secondary sys-
TEN. There is provision made for
the levy of a two mill tax for these
roads, also.
Will any of the secondary system
of roads ever be hard surfaced?
They most certainly Will, although
the law says that the primary road
system will be hard surfaced first.
After that is completed the hard sur
racing OF the secondary road system
VIII commence, and will go just as
far as the tax payers wish to go.
Here's the question that is more
frequently asked than any other:
Suppose this proposition is dereat-
led, win Lee county get it's share of
the federal money anyway?
The answer. according to the
people who know is this:
We would not. 1t would be appor-
toned and Lee county would simply
lose the money to some other county
or some other state.
II Lee county votes against the
hard surface proposition 1t also will
lose out on the automobile tax, for
the law specifically states It shall be
used for hard suI-facing, and for the
grading and draining OF primary
roads. For the latter purpose only
could the auto tax be converted, IL
the election Tuesday goes adversely.
Hard surfacing as defined by the
law is cement, brick, asphalt or some
similar material. GraveI and oil is
not hard surfacing.
| If the proposition is defeated Tues
day there will be no chance to come
back and change the decision in a
month. 1t will mean that Lee county
will wallOw in the mud ror TWO more
years.
