people Of Cameron county ths
eea OF the advantage of paved high
lays.
They already have had so much
experience with the splendid state
highway. that each individual al
ready has no doubt determined, IN
his own mind what he will do Janu-
airy -. when Cameron county votes
on its $6.0c0.0o0 road bond issue.
The only question remaining for
each voter 70 determine is as 20 the
advissbillty Of okeying q bond is
sue that probably cannot all be is
sued and sold for from six 70 eight
years.
Will the people want Ia tie them
selves UP on single great bond Is
sue over such long period Of time
What would be the effect of these
bonds, even though unsold. should il
be found necessary later 70 issue
bonds for other purposes: For
drainage. for further irrigation
works?
UNQUESTIOSARIY. the delegates
who attended the road meeting AZ
IIarlipgcn in November were almost
unanimously in favor Of $4,000
OO0 issue.
Presumably they reflected the
opinions Of their farmer neighbors
throughout the county.

the county that SG.00o.000 is too
huge a figure for the county 20 un-

in the situation is just as much Tor
rood roads. Il appears, as the So
O00.00O element. but they would

they might oppose sS.OnO.O0O is-

IL requires two-thirds vote to
carry q bond issue.
Will there hc q sufficient ma
jority 10 carry the issue on January
c7.
THERE Is At LEAST one good
argument in favor Of the S6,0e0 DOT
issue.
Sometimes folks already having
good roads in front ~ their doors
will onpose further road bond IS.

Here's letter on the suhjcci
front Mr.. Jraham:
II noticed a icw days ago IN Your
naYer in the column In our Val
lev that SON say that there was q

attention 80 the fact that mvseli
md a number Of others were hunt
ing at Holly Reach. our new iowr
on the coast. and We had no frost
there. I have al the present time
tomatoes growing 40 Holly Beach
and they were not affected AZ ~
because there was no frost near ths
coast. This proves cnneiusivcly. a
