You put your arms OLt stiff,
Your hands IN Egyptian style,
Keep your body quite rigid,

Bat you a0Glk or dance a strut,
You probably haze no sense at all,

The foregoing figures were
compiled by Harry A. Rogers, au-
ditor and recorder, from the coun-
ty records and they tell the story
of where the bulk of the road
fund comes from in ShoshOne
county more plainly than words.

for 100000 to improve the main
highway in cooperation with the
federal government, the latter pay
ing So per cent of the cost, and
when that is accomplished the
county will be relieved of the en-
tire expense of maintenance.
About half of the present road
fund will pay the interest on the
bonds and provide a sinking fund
for their payment. The balance
of the fund will be used exclu-
sively on other county roads,
which is more than is now being
spent on them. And besides the
fund for this purpose viii stead

Plans for putting over road bonds
at the election to be held on June 10
We're adopted at a well attended and
enthusiastic meeting of the directors
of the Shoshone County Good Roads
e. association in this city last Tuesday
evening While little opposition to
bonding the county is in evidence, the
good roads people propose to carry
out an aggressive campaign that will
meet and overcome any opposition
that may develop and forestall any
eleventh hour" stunt that may pos
sibly be staged. They are acting on
the theory that every unbiased voter
viii support the bond issue ir they
know the facts, and it is therefore the
purpose of the good roads men to
present the facts to every voter in the
county. They particularly want the
voters to understand that the county
win pay only A per cent of the cost
of standardizing and paving the high
way and that the federal government
will pay the other So per cent: that if
the people of Shoshone county don't
secure this federal money now, il will
be used to build roads somewhere else
and Shoshone county may never have
another chance TO get federal aid:
that the proposed bonded debt will /
not increase taxes. and that the debt |
viii be paid by using half the present /
road fund. together with the interest: /
and that more money will be available |
for the imDrOvqmenf and extension Of |
other county roads. When these facts
are driven home. the fight for the
bonds is won
