MOVE TO PAVE
TO CEMETERY
DR.. c. P. Davis Writes
Chairman of Council
Committee

With the paving of East Church
street from Lee to Horne, already de-
cided upon, and work about to be
commenced ON the relocation and
replacement of gas and water mains,
an agitation for the paving of that
thoroughfare from Horne street to
Oak Grove cemetery has been COM
menced. DIR. C. P Davis, who owns
a considerable frontage along that
portion of Church street which must
be paved to extend the paving to the
cemetery, has written Chairman AL
lison of the street committee of
council, suggesting that this be the
next paving project undertaken by
the city.
In his letter to Chairman Allison,
DR.. Davis says "as a property owner
on East Church street, l would like
to go on record as desiring that East
Church street be paved from Horne
street to the cemetery under the
same conditions as those governing
the paving of this street from Lee to
Horne. I hardly think it is necessary
for me to go into any argument as to
the desirability for this paving, for
all recognize that it will add so much
to the appearance of the thorough
fare to the City of the Dead that
the powers that be should be willing
to require that it be done"
Between Horne street and the
cemetery there is considerable
frontage of unimproved building lots,
belonging to various owners, as well
as a parcel of land belonging to the
city. Much of this land could only
be improved at unusual expense, due
to the terrain there, and this has been
urged heretofore against the paving
of the thoroughfare, but Chairman
Allison is of the opinion that this
objection could be overcome through
some method for distributing the cost
for this part of the streets among the
general public.
1t is desirable, of course, that the
street be paved all the way to the
cemetery, and there are doubtless
other property owners there besides
DR.. Davis who would like to see the
Improvement ordered. The matter
will be further agitated among the
abutting property owners and pub
lie. Chairman Allison said today, be-
fore being brought up in council, and
it is hoped in the meantime that some
equitable method for paving the un-
improved frontage and that part OF
the street abutting the city's prop
erty may be devised.

The Mt. Sterling advocate., 1920-06-01

State the blessings Of Good Roads
none other in all Kentucky whose
words can carry greater weight.
In all seriousness, in all earnest
ness, The Advocate appeals to those
who love Montgomery County to give
heed to these words from your State
Highway Commissioner. He has al
ready advised Montgomery County to
authorize bond issue for the pur-
pose Of Fastening the construction of
these roads.
The Advocate asks those gentle
men, few in number though they be,
who have been turned against the
proposed bond issue by absolutely
unfounded and grossly false lin the
sense, erringly, incorrectly, wrong
ly) statements such as these:
False Statement No. THAT il will
cost from thirty-five thousand and
forty thousand to fifty thousand dol
lars mile to construct these roads.
False Statement No. 2-That the
100000 will give us only eight miles
Of new road.
False Statement No. 3-That the
County might not get its money back
for thirty years.
False Statement No. 4-That only
the farmers and land owners will be
called upon to pay the 2O-cent tax
to carry the bond issue.
False Statement No. 5-That the
County will not be repaid for any
money advanced to help huild the
Federal Aid Midland Trail road from
Clark to the Bath County line.
False Statement No. 6-That this
bond issue, loaned to the State on a
contract guaranteeing its repayment
will bankrupt the County.
False Statement No. THAT the
great State Of Kentucky might en-
gage in sharp practice, and the cheap
tricks of cheap trader and by some
hocus pocus leave an uncompleted
gap Of say two miles somewhere on
these proposed Projects, and thus
cheat the County out of ever getting
its money back.-Ponder on the kind
of intellect that could conjure up
such an impossible attitude on the
part of the Sovereign State of Ken
tucky-Kentucky that has never vet
repudiated either the spirit or letter
Of an obligation. What manner Of
man is it that can have so low an
opinion Of Kentucky! Where is the
Kentuckian who. after full realization
The Mt. Sterling advocate., 1920-06-01

that it was a waste Of money to fur
ther construct them with macaoam,
and that it had become absolutely
necessary to construct with some ma
terial more durable than macadam,
which material under present traffic
conditions, would not stand up one
winter; and that this would require
"money and lots of it." 1t is to be
presumed that the Fiscal Court sug-
gested the idea of a bond issue and a
loan to the State because they be-
lieved that was the plan which
pointed the way for the County to
have these main highways construct
ed as all-the-year-'round, har6-sur-
faced, permanent type roads = and
because they knew Of no other plan
whereby the County could possibly
meet the desperate situation they
called to the attention of the tax
payers for their serious considera-
ton. Certain it is they stated en-
phatically that something must be
done. Therefore, it is clear, unless
the voters authorize the bond issue
with the very moderate tax Of twen-
ty cents on the hundred dollars for a
few years until the loan is repaid
by the State, that it will be necessary
for the County to spend a good deal
more on its own responsibility, with
totally unsatisfactory results, and
with no chance of being reimbursed
for the money thus "wasted."
That is the clear meaning and a
fair Interpretation of the Fiscal
Courts unanimous opinion as ex-
pressed in its signed statement-and
that of course means taxes greater
than the bond issue calls for.
1t is an historic fact that in every
city in the land, when the question of
street paving first came up, there
The Mt. Sterling advocate., 1920-06-01

the State as a whole and in jusnce
to the Counties directly concerned,
that the State will give. such aid as
may be necessary to construct and
complete the entire Project under five
years at the outside.
(When the above paragraph was
read to Mr.. Boggs, the Commissioner
said: "Yes, with three 'Centers of
Construction on that comparatively
short Project there Is no doubt about
II being completed in five years, from
Paris to Mt. Sterling, through Men
efee to West Liberty.")
The Advocate says to those who
have been told that Menefee would
be stumbling block to the compile
ton of this Project, that such an OBJ
lection has no foundation-and as
serts that State Highway Commits
sioner Boggs under whose direction
construction is already under way
in that County, positively declares
that Project 80 may confidently be
expected to be completed in the term
of five years specified.
Therefore the money advanced to
the State by the County on Project
32 would at that time be due in re-
payment to the County and the bonds
retired.
With the rapid increase in auto.
mobiles and motor trucks, it is GER
tain that the State Road Fund re-
ceiving these taxes, and the gallon
tax on gasoline will from this source
alone in the next few years greatly
exceed its present estimated total.
Commissioner Boggs agrees with the
writer that this will make possible
still earlier completion of the entire
State System than previous calcula-
tons have indicated.
By this time it should be well un-
derstood by all citizens of Montgom-
cry, as set forth in the signed state
ment of the Fiscal Court, that as
soon as these roads are constructed
by the State they become State
Highways, and that the County will
then he relieved of any further ex-
pense for their upkeep; and the
larger part of the regular twenty
five-ce road tax, which has hitherto
been spent on these principal County
Highways can then be devoted to the
better maintenance and upkeep of the
other pixies and dirt roads of the
County.
1t should likewise be borne in mind
by every citizen of Montgomery that
in the statement by the Fiscal Court
it was clearly and emphatically set
forth that the roads we have been
referring to were '1iterally ruined"
The Mt. Sterling advocate., 1920-06-01

was in each one Of those cities an
element that opposed the step. When
the reason for that is explained we
shall then have an explanation Of the
reason why few are opposing this
proposed step to get Good Roads for
Montgomery-Good Roads to obtain
which will only cost the interest for a
few years on a sum less than half
their cost.
The Mt. Sterling advocate., 1920-06-01

Of the import Of such b charge, will
go on record as accusing the legis-
lature of Kentucky with conspiring
in legislative enactment to trick the
Counties into loaning money to the
State by stealthily inserting Section
IL into the New Kentucky Road
Law so that the States Agents, like
crooked gamblers, can play sure
thing with the money of the taxpay-
ers of the Counties, and by petty lar
ceny methods deliberately plot to
cheat them out of it by creating

fraud has he been standing from
which arises this miasmatic spirit of
duplicity, enshrouded, engulfed and
encompassed with malignant mean
ness, so that his vision is incapable
of discerning the possibility of honor
and good faithl
The Advocate asks those few who
have been turned against the pro-
posed bond issue to thus analyze
these False Observation-Disclosures
first started in circulation by crafty
and subtle suggestions, and then in
nocently given repetition by we'll
meaning citziens-to realize that as a
matter Of fact No Man has gone pub
licly on record in unacceptable black
and white as sponsor for such crude
and impossible charges.
Let's get back to Project AZ. Of
course, Commissioner Boggs' views
as to construction costs and the
time when Project AT will be COM
pleted are concurred in by road en-
gineers generally and by men whose
official experience qualities them to
speak authoritatively.
1t Is clearly established, therefore,
that the $I37 500 will be returned to
Montgomery County in a few years,
when II will be unnecessary to levy
any further taxes for the redemption
of the bonds.
From a 100000 bond issue, after
concluding negotiations for the con-
struction Of the Midland Trail Sec
ton from the Bath to the Clark coun-
ty line, Montgomery would have left
$162, 800 with which the Fiscal Court
The Mt. Sterling advocate., 1920-06-01

could at the same time negotiate will
the new Highway Commission fol
construction on Project 80, from thu
Bourbon to the Menefee County lint
via Mt. Sterling to the Menefe,
County line over the Camargo pike
First, we will recall again that Mt
Sterling is one Of the "Centers Of
Construction" named in the new Law
at which point the law provides thai
construction SHALL start simultane.
ously with the starting Of construc-
ton at the other fifty-seven "Centers
Of Construction" named in the law
And that Paris at one end and West
Liberty at the other end are like
wise "Centers of Construction"
Second, we will understand that in
the above proposed negotiations by
the Montgomery Fiscal Court in pro.
viding for the construction of the
Midland Trail section, there has beer
no call on State funds, the entire cost
of that Project having been provided
for from the Federal Aid fund and
from the money loaned to the State
by the County.
Third, that leaves available for the
road from the Bourbon to the Meme
fee County line the whole of such
part of the State road fund as this
section of the State is entitled to by
the letter and the spirit Of the New
Kentucky Road Law.
Fourth, Governor Morrow and
Highway Commissioner Boggs, in the
case of the seven counties on the
Project from Richmond to Hardy
vile, which have certified to certain
available funds for that work, have
agreed to recommend that the New
Highway Commission take up that
Project as one of the first for con-
struction (Survey of this Project by
the State is now under way as a re-
suit Of this agreement), thus estab-
fishing the principle that the State
will first help those Counties helping
themselves. The likelihood of this
was clearly indicated in the recent
statement signed by all the members
of the Montgomery Fiscal Court in
which they set forth how the rio-
posed 100000 bond issue pointed the
way to the early construction OF both
roads, from the Clark to the Bath,
and from the Bourbon to the Menefee
County lines, by loaning that sum to
the State.
Fifth, in these circumstances the
procedure would be for the Fiscal
Court to enter into negotiations for
loaning the State $162,500 on agree
ment that the State should add $751;
500 to make up the $450,000 of ap-
proximate cost of the Bourbon to
Menefee road. If the State should
demur, and claim that $2S7 800 was
more than Montgomery County's
share for the first year of the new
road laws operation, then certainly
Montgomery share for the first and
second year combined would equal
that sum. On that basis, then, con-
struction could be pushed as far as
available funds would permit the
first year, and the full distance com
pleted the second year. And it would
be the duty of the Fiscal Court to
enter into an agreement with the
State Highway Commission that the
same shall be done, and negotiate a
contract providing that the $l62,5OO
be returned to Montgomery when
Project 80 is completed from Paris
in Bourbon to West Liberty in Nor

(When the above as to Project 81
was read to State Highway Commits

81 agree with that absolutely. 1t Is
conservative to say that Montgom-
ery's share of the yearly funds
available for the construction of the
entire Primary Road System would
be as you have indicated, and that
the State would supplement the
$162,500 advanced by the County,
and proceed to construct the road ex-
tending from Bourbon to the Menefee
County line, and contract could be
entered into between the State and
the County for the return of the
money to the County when the Prof.
ect is completed from Paris in BOur-
bon to West Liberty in Morgan.")
When would this Project 81 likely
be completed?
Bourbon County already has an
authorized bond issue which would
provide for immediate construction
of her part. Representatives of Bour-
bon County have already been to
Frankfort seeking to close arrange
ments for advancing money to the
State in accordance with Section ii
of the New Kentucky Road Law, as
it is proposed that Montgomery
County shall do. OF course it will be
necessary for Bourbon to await until
July, whe nthe new law takes eff
feet, but Bourbon is on the job and
will be there at the tap of the bell, as
Montgomery will be, if there is not
too much dilatoriness in disposing of
the probably futile injunction pro
ceedings. Effort is now being made in
Morgan to have an election TO author
ize a bond issue for her part of this
Project, and with Montgomery's part
provided for, and-with a considerable
part of very costly grading already
completed in Menefee, and with ex-
tensive work along the same line now
going on in that county, it is rea-
sonable to expect, in the interest Of
