Announcements,
How the Supervisors Stand
on the Bond Issues.

khV DohO hSSoSSs
It will be remembered that pre-
vious to the last election on the Bond
Issue we outlined plan which was
published in the Neshobs Democrat.
Report has it that many electors over
the county would like to know ii our
plans have changed. Our plans have
not changed. We ordered this new
election because we could not follow
our plan as outlined below and at the
same time proceed under the law
which we were working under at the
last election. For the benefit OfthOsa
who may not have seen this plan 1t
was as follows:
Plans of Supervisors
It Is fully understood and agreed
that each Beat in ami through its
Commissioners, and Supervis 'r, will
have full power and control Of the
expending Of the money, and the
construction of the roads within it.
beat. These Commissioners are to
be three in number from each beat,
and are to be selected from separate
parts of each beat by the Board OF
Supervisors, and upon the recon.
mendation of the supervisor from
that beat. Each beat will haye full
control of its own Road system.
UPKEEP OF ROADS.
We Supervisors are fully agreed
that these roads will be kept up by
machinery and teams, purchased and
paid for by the county.
At our next meeting on the first of
March 1920, we will pass an order
limiting the load on wagons and
trucks travelling over county roads
and we will see that this order is en-
forced.
COST BY BEATS.
The cost t. each man for the con-
struction of roads within his bsa'
may be easily figured.
The total assessed alue of property
in Beat / is $3.50. .934.00. The Bond
Issue to be voted upon in Beat fs
$4,000. To pay the interest on the
indebtedness of this $4,000 will call
for a tax levy of three and three
tenths of one mill. II your property
is assessed and valued ut 500 in Beat
your tax will be 83 cents. IL your
property is assessed at $1,000 your
tax will be 1888.
In Beat your tax will be 10 cents
for every 500 90.
In Beat your tax will be 43 cents
for every >$lO0 90.
In Beat 4 your tax will be 80 cents
for every 500 90.
In Beat your tax will be AZ cents
for every 500 90.
It is clear to US that the benefits
received from better roads will BY
far exceed the cost OF building and
maintaining them.
We have ordered this election be-
cause the people in the County are
in favor OF good roads. During our
term of office we will do all within
our power to see that the County q
money is not wasted and that the
tax payer gets full value received for
every cent we spend.
