ROAD MEETING INTER
ESTING TO EVERYONE

it. He explained the various methods
Of securing new roads, and brought
his address to close by compliment
ing the county commissioners on the
maintenance of the roads in Gratiot
county.
President Gerber of the Alma
Chamber Of Commerce assured those
present in a short address that the
purpose Of the meeting was simply to
arrive at the best methods to take
in securing Gratiot's share of the
bond issue, and that the Alma Cham
Der of Commerce had no axe to grind.
II. S. Babcock of Alma pointed out
that it was good business to spend
S.25 to get $.75 more, and that the
welfare of the county for the coming
years was also big consideration.
James Gibbs of Ithaca. one Of the
county. road commissioners, pointed
out what a 100000 bond issue would
do, and how small the assessment for
sinking fund TO retire the issue and
to meet interest on the bonds would
be. He stated that perhaps a bond
issue was not the best way out, but
that it was up to the supervisors to
find the best method.
n. T.. Saad, supervisor of the second
ward in Alma told why he favored the
proposed 100000 bond issue resolu-
ticn that was before the supervisors
in October. Supervisor Long OF
Washington township then explained
why he was against bond issue.
lothian Allen, Newell Smith Of st.
Louis and j. N. Mccall Of Ithaca
pointed out why in their opinions a
bond issue was needed for Gratiot
county for road Improvement if some
other more suitable means of securing
the money could not be found.
Fred Bradford of Alma, after ask
ing several questions of Mr.. Rogers
came forth with a suggestion that the
supervisors spread three mill tax
for two years for the purpose of Sc
curing. funds for this work. This
would make available 100000 in the
two years.
1t was pointed out that if Gratiot
county is to secure the Improvement
Of all of her trunk line that this would
still be insufficient Tor the work anc
a short term bond issue Of 100000
bonds to be issued by the supervisors
as needed would put the county in a
position to care for all Of the work if
it could be done before the close of
1924. 1t is pointed out that by con-
tinuing the three mill tax over 8
period of five years, it would not only
furnish 100000 in two years for road
improvement, but that the last three
years would pay off a 100000 bond
issue, interest charges against the is
sue and also leave large sum foi
other road work.
A resolution, drafted by J. N
Mccall of Ithaca, and presented al
the meeting and passed, was to the
effect that the meeting had every con.
fidence in the board Of supervisors tc
arrive at the best possible solution tc
the question at the meeting of the
Of the supervisors next week.
Two attempts during the progress
Of the discussion to secure an ex.
preston Of opinion from the meeting
on various methods to take in secur
ing the fund were killed off by with
drawal Of resolutions, when it was
pointed out that there was no desire
to force an opinion on the supervisors
