CRITTENDEN WILL
HAVE GOOD ROADS
Arkansans Ask Legislature for
Authority to Tax Them
selves to so Per Cent.

Crittenen county, Arkansas, will have
good roads n will have them in a very
short lime. That was assured by the
class Of men from just across the Mis-
slssippi river who met Sunday at the
Chamber Of Commerce to devise plans
FOR that end. There has seldom been
gathered In the Chamber Of Commerce
q stronger body OF men. II the kaiser
had had them for his general staff he
would ave come nearer winning the
war.
Judge G. C. Barton, Of Earle, pre-
sided, He said nothing about the adj
Vantages of good roads. 1t was not
necessary, for all were agreed that they
wanted good roads and we're willing to
pay the price-and they own the prop
erty that will pay the tax. He ex-
planned that the entire county had
been divided into six road districts and
showed the tentative boundaries of each
district on a county map.
A.. b. Shafer, who had been asked to
draft a bill to so to the legislature,
said that he had not done so because no
public issue Of bonds in Arkansas could
be sold without first having received
the Q. X. of the law firm Of Cantrell,
Loughborough, Hemingway & Rose,
hence he wanted to draft the bill in
conjunction with that firm, However,
he wanted direction from the meeting
as to the main features of the bill. Mr..
~ 'AlAAAAANh AAAah AllN FhARNHiAAARA
act was not practical in this case, as 1t
limited the total tax for roads to 80 per
cent OF the assessed value of the land,
further made IT impossible for a
district to make any material change in
its road plans.
The meeting directed Judge Bartoq
and Mr.. Shafer to go TO Little Rock and
with the aid Of the law firm there draft
a bill providing for a so per cent tax,
a bond issue for roads in Crittenden
county; dividing the county into six
districts, and giving the commissioners
authority TO build good roads, which are
to be of gravel, which concrete or brick
or other forms of hard surface is a
point to be determined later.
Messrs. Barton and Shafer also were
directed to present the bill to the leg
islature. e, T. Talbot, representative
for C~rittenden county, pledged himself
to present any legislation that the
county agreed upon, and all were as
sured that Senator John F. Rhodes
would do the same in the upper house
The present viaduct from the bridge
to the leVee is not strong, and all agreed
that 1t could at best last but a few
years longer and would quickly go down
under the traffic which hard roads be-
yond the levee would impose. Hence
Judge Barton was empowered to APP
point a committee from the entire St.
Francis basin In the hope Of getting 1t
TO agree upon a tax for a new and per
manent ViaduCt in which all of the .ba-
sin should share, the more remote areas
of course to pay less tax than those
nearer to the viaduct.
