WHAT ARE THE ASSESS MENTS IN BRiNKLEY ROAD
 IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT

Dear Editor:
 It is being confidentially as serted by a man of unimpeach- able standing in Brinkley, that the commissioners of said Road District cannot collect off the land owners of the district more than the amount of betterments that has been assessed against said land. Now l ask for imfor- nation not only for myself but for each and every tax payer in the district, what is the amount assessed against our land?
 Will the Commissioners kindly publish an itemized statement of the amount of betterments assessed against each and every piece of land in the district or state, if that is all they can or will collect?
 We will certainly thank them and believe the majority will be with them.
 Yours truly, A Tax Payer and Land Owner
