GREATERPROSPERITY
seen IN VOTING Zoe
ROAD TAX IN MASON
People Of Mason County Should Study
Special Road Tax Election
Carefully.

A great number Of citizens OF Ma
son county were glad to learn that the
Fiscal Court had decided to call the
election for the additional zoe Road
Tax, for the improvement of Mason
county roads.
The citizens of today are deserving
Of just as good roads as our forefath'
ers and nothing that Mason county has
done in many days would be recog-
nized as such c progressive step as the
plan for the improvement Of the roads
as contemplated by the Fiscal Court
The citizens believe in the men that
they have elected to manage the al
fairs of the county and approve OF the
fine work that has been done under
their administration. The roads have
received the special attention of all
the members of the Fiscal Court and
were in better condition, in later years
than they are today.
From a standpoint Of business in
tegrity the members Of the Fiscal
Court are men of sound business judy
ment, each having made success In
The conduct of his personal affairs. The
same good business management prin-
ciples, have been applied in the con-
duct Of the affairs of the county.
While Commissioner Key makes no
profession as road engineer, he has
made the study of good roads his
hobby. His business necessitates
that he make frequent use of the roads
and we doubt if any Mason countian
knows better than he the ruts and con-
ditions that need improvement ON
roads OF the county.
During the short period of time, that
he has supervised the road work OF
the county, a marked improvement has
been noticed and we feel sure we can
predict a still greater improvement in
the roads of Mason county, in the next
few years, especially if the citizens
vote the additional funds so that a
greater work can be undertaken. No
citizen doubts the need of additional
funds for road work if he has an UNI
derstanding of the work to be done
and the increased cost of labor and
material Mason county's coming pros
perity will in a great measure depend
upon the road system. II we secure a
fine improved system in short tme II
will hasten the prosperity that is
knocking at cur door,
The voting of YES on the zoe addi-
tional tax at the election on June 14th
will place in the hands of the Fiscal
Court, sufficient funds for the creation
of the desired system of roads and
hasten the day for greater prosper
ity for all the citizens of Mason coun-
