support % the good roads bond
issue for s3s1,00o which will be
voted upon In Union District next
Tuesday April II, are set out in a
circular letter that is being sent
% The citizens OF the community
by group or progressive leaders
I'M the district. Among the bene-
fits 10 he secured from the good
roads bondssit carried will be two
miles Of new streets for the East
Side.
TwosmiIes OF new streets will be
provided under the new system.
on this angle Of the situation, the
circular letter to the voters from
the special committee reads:
THE East Side must have
streets and the city cannot build
them Improperly holders along
the proposed improved streets are
NOT liable for repaving them.
When Union District as a whole,
improves the lroadsfand streets, the
city can give its attention to the
improvement OF the. other streets.
This plan was adopted on the West
Side when Fairmont District voted
bonds There will be enough re-
LAYING brick taken up to have two
mtlesSot new streets. The moving
Of theseSbrick is considered In the
cost Of excavation and will be de-
liyered to the streets where they
are to- be used without extra cost
10 the city or property owners. All
the relaying brick will be used on
the East Side: they are a first
class paving brick and will make
line streets.
As to how the good roads are to
be paid for. the following state
ment from the committee is very
Under the present valuation,
the maximum OF IS cents on the
500 will be sufficient to meet the
interest and retire the bonds. AS
valuations increase the levy will
he reduced. We are now paying
rs cents on the 500 valuation,
and are getting no permanent re-
suits. This amount is about all
expended on. the roads now TO be
improved, and the other roads re-
reiHet very little attention. With
the 5good roads started, we can
begin work on our siae roads with
the money we have been spending
on our main roads. We have to
pay our county and state road tax
whether we have any money for
ours own roads or not. We cannot
hope to get anything out OF the
state road fund in Union District
unless we build some good roads
arstt The state has taken over
Tor maintenance the main trunk
roads OF Marion county, which by
relieving the Of the upkeep
Of these roads, makes the county
more able to help US than 1t has
ever been before. All the other
districts ot the county nave voted
good roads except one district"
II IS pointed by the committee
that nowsissthe time to build good
roads, It will give work to many
people in the district who are idle
81 the present time owing to the
falling offtof work in the factories.
