The Farmington times. (Farmington, St. Francois County, Mo.) 1905-1926, 1920-10-22
Will Vote for
Amendment No. 6
Many Of Our Leading Citizens De-
clare They will vote for Good
Roads Amendment and State
Their Reasons.

To the Voters OF st. Francois
County:
We, the undersigned citizens of st.
Francois County have fully investi-
gated the merits of the Good Roads
Amendment and are fully convinced
that it is one of the most important
and most commendable propositions
ever presented to the people Of Mis-
souri, in years.
Every citizen of the State is now a
believer in 365-day roads and think
modern highway traffic demands
good roads. One of the great needs of
our State to help delevop our agricul-
tural interests, build up TIE rural
communities, improve the educational
religious and social conditions is
connected system of good roads.
Amendment No. provides that the
Legislature may build complete sys-
tenn of hard roads, serving every
county, and may issue bonds not to
exceed $60,000,000 to meet the cost.
The amendment also provides that
the automobile license fee shall be
used to pay the bonds and interest. A
carefully prepared table shows that
| d
fees will meet the bonds and interest
and leave $360,000 annually for main
tanning and dragging. The drag fund
Is only applied on State roads and as
these are hard surfaced, the dragging
! will not be necessary. The present
/ drag fund is only 100000 per year.
Being fully convinced that Missouri
can secure this system of good roads
without any property tax and believ-
ing the legislature will safeguard the
expenditure of the funds, we expect to
vote for amendment No. 6 and urge
all the voters of St. Francois county
to do the same. 1t is the best good
roads proposition ever offered and we
believe it would be real calamity if
this Amendment No. should fail. To
vote "YES" on No. 6, it will be neces-
sary to cross out the word mo"
