especial attention to part OF
Section Is, Chapter 20, Acts OF
the General Assembly of 1918,
which is as follows: "rhe costs
of the inter county seat roads
constructed under the provisions
of this act shall be paid as fol-
lows I'm counties having an as
sessed valuation of less than
S., 900 900, seventy five per cent.
shall he paid out of the. State road
fund and the remainder shall he
paid by the county, Reee&eastie-
county has assessed valuation of
less than Five million dollars
therefore the above applies to US.
and it is easily seen that for every
dollar we pay toward road pur
poses the state will paw three dol
lars for the same purposes. then
if this be true why is it not a good
thing for us ? The Acts of the
General Assembly. above referred
to, are now at the Citizens Bank,
Brodhead, and We invite you TO
go there and read this section,

homes, in your schools, in the
welfare of yourself and those de-
pendent upon you you owe it TO
yourself to post you cself in this
matter and then go to the poles
and cast your vote isely, in
diligently and judiciously.
