MAY ORDER SPECIAL
ROAD TAX ELECTION
T,al Court Sees Need of Doing
Something Soon II County's High
ways Are To Be Put In Shape

The question of voting a special
road tax of 20 cents on each 800
worth of property will probably be
submitted to the taxpayers of Madi-
son county soon. The matter came be-
fore the Fiscal Court at its regular
monthly session Tuesday, and ma
jority Of the members Of the court
feel that it should be done, it seems.
They realize that the roads of the
county have gotten into fearful condi-
tion as the result of the small amount
of reconstruction work that could be
done during war times, and unless the
special tax is voted, they will go from
bad to worse
A number of other counties have
voted this tax, and gotten splendid re-
suits. With an assessment this year
of over s22, 900. 900, Madison ought to
lbe in shape to take care of her roads
in first class manner. and the court
feels, it is said, that the matter ought
to be put squarely before the people
who use the roads. 1t Is estimated
that the special tax would yield about
$4,000. which added to the $50. .oo0
that is usually spent each year, will
enable the road department to. put
many Of the old roads In better con-
dition, and start work on new ones.
The court discussed the road ques-
ton mainly at its meeting, as this is
undoubtedly one Of the biggest ques-
tons before the people of the county
at this time. The court voted to al
low SI,250 a mile to build a mile OF
pike from Red House toward the
Green school house, and also for 9
mile Of pike on the Jigwater pike, In
the Newby section. II Is estimated
that the minimum figure at which
they can be built, win be about 5000
a mile under present conditions, ant
the promoters and those along the
new roadway win raise the remand
er that is needed
The Fiscal Court win meet again o.
February 18th, at which time any tax,
payer or citizen win be heard on the
proposed road tax election. It i
hoped to secure State Road Commits
Sioner to be here and talk on IL
question Of good roads and what the,
