THE PROPOSED TAX FOR ROADS
AND BRIDGES AND ITS APPLICA-
TON TO PRESENT CONDITIONS IN
MADISON COUNTY

A special meeting OF the Madison
Fiscal Court has been called for
Tuesday, February 10, 1919, TO con-
slider the ACCESSIBILITY of calling an
election TO be held at some date tc
be fixed by the Court prior to April
I, next, TO take the sense Of the
voters of the county in a proposition
TO levy a special tax not to exceed
twenty cents 1920 on the $4,000
Of taxable property in the county,
for a period not TO exceed ten years,
for the purpose Of the Improvement
or construction of the public roads
and bridges Of the county, either or
both, as the Fiscal Court may direct.
The authority under which said
election may be ordered by the
Fiscal Court is conferred by an act
of the Legislature at its special ses-
sion in 1917, and the law was ap-
proved by the Governor April %,
1917, since which time about fifteei,
Kentucky counties have held cleo
lions in which the proposition was
approved by a majority of the voters
and IN a few counties, perhaps four
or five, the proposition has been re-
iected by a majority Of the voters.
Under the provisions of this law
the amount collected is deposited by
the Sheriff with the County Treas
urer, and the Fiscal Court alone
has the control of the expenditure
of the fund so collected, subject to
all provisions of the law applying
TO its equitable distribution to the
various parts of the county from
which collected, ETC., etc.
II is recognized at this time by a
great majority Of our people that
the unprecedented increase Of auto
mobile traffic on the roads Of the
county causes our Macadam roads
TO deteriorate rapidly, especially the
main roads leading from Richmond
and it is necessary to change the
type Of road on these lines so as to
withstand the traffic now using
them and that which may be ex-
pected in the immediate future.
II is also manifestly true that all
bridges and smaller drainage struc-
lures on these main roads should be
so constructed as to give maximum
carrying capacity, strength and per-
manence. The turnpike system OF
the county should be extended by
the building of new pixies and
bridges where considerable num-
bers Of our people are thereby
benefited until the turnpike system
of the county is thereby made a
