To The Taxpayers Of
Rockcastle County:

This article is intended to ex
plain why the election called by
the Fiscal Court OF this county
for the purpose of voting q 20
cent road tax has been called of.
The Road Commissioner, Mr..
Wiley, and hisDistrict Engineer,
evidently misunderstood t he
meaning of the 20 cent road tax,
and issued literature to the effect
that this tax could be used on any
county road and in any Magiste.
rial District and get the benefit
of State aid. or $500 for one.
Believing thar the Road Commits.
sioner was correct in his under.
standing Of the law, and being
.uryed by M. Johnson, the Dis
trict Engineer, the Fiscal Court
called this eieetien;.- However,
since then further investigation
has been made and we discovered
that tho 20 cent road tax is an ad.
ditional tax and no State Aid eau
be obtained by the expenditure of
this tax unless 1t is used on inter.
county seat. or State Aid roads.
The court had promised the PEG.
pie not to increase the tax and
that the fund thus secured would
be used on all the roads of the
county and State Aid obtained
thereby for all the roads, but
finding that the Commissioner
and his Engineer were in error,
we thought best not to have the
election. but proceed as hereto.
fore under the general levy: We
find that If the money thus secured
under the general levy, is used
on inter-county seat, or State Aid
roads. we will obtain the benefit
of State Aid, or 50 90 for one. :
Furthermore, on Investigation
we lind that the law, on applica
ton by the county through the
Fiscal Court, permits the State to
construct the inter.county seat,
or State Aid roads by the use of
convict labor, which will be
charged to the county out of the
pro rata State Aid to which the
county will be entitled by reason
of paying the S cents tax provid.
ed for under the general State
AID Road Law. The Fiscal Court
at meeting held last Tesday,
not only called off the 20 cent
road election. but made ,applica.
ton to the Road Commissioner to
finish the inter county seat roads
as provided by that laws, So it is
the intention of the Fiscal Court
to go on with this road work and
have the State to finish the State
Aid roads this year.

second to no other talking machine

valuable features that other ma
chimes do not possess. Instead of a
needle to wear out, sapphire ball
glides over the records and repro
duces the sound. No needles to buy,
no needles to change, no needle to
wear OIL the record. The tone is soft
and sweet, and can be regulated as
one may desire. Come to our store
