MERCURY ITO DOWN EAST.

The humidity also was reported unusually
oppressive which added TO the discomfort.
There seems TO have been no other sec
ton of the country experiencing anything
like the heat that proStrated Connecti-

SHALL EScAMBIA COUNTY VOTE
100 PER CENT?

We have over 5000 registered voters.
Everyone of those votes should be
placed to the credit of the constitu-
tional amendment for bonding the
state for Good Roads.
The whole future road program, not
only of the state, but more particularly
of Escambia County is at stake We
have voted two million of county
bonds. Our road program is based on
state and federal aid. The state road
department is pledged to build our en-
tire system, (the four main roads) with
the exception of the Gulf Beach High
way,) and erect the Ferry Pass bridge,
with the aid of one million and fifty
thousand dollars from the county when
the state is provided with funds.
The state will not be able to do this
unless it can obtain the maximum fed
eral aid by matching the government
funds. dollar for dollar This the state
cannot do unless it is authorized to is
sue bonds (Which ii cannot do unless
1t taxes you four mills on real and per-
sOnal property. If the bond amend
ment is passed the state will use the
automobile license tax for the bonds
Gnterest and principal) and you will
not be taxed at all.
Which do you prefer, bonds with no
direct taxes?
Or no bonds and be taxed four
mills?
Or no state or federal aid, and the
county to issue the full two million of
its bonds and construct unaided, its
road system, in which event our taxes
will be much higher?
If the Amendment is adopted Es-
Gambia county viii probably never
nave to issue over one million four
hundred thousand of road bonds.
If the amendment is rejected, we
have no decent state highway system,
and our county road system will be
only worth 90 per cent of its value
with a good state road system.
Every registered voter should see on
November End next, that his vote is
cast for this amendment
Let us vote, 100 per cent for the
interest of Escambia. and at the same
time serve the better interests of the
whole state.
