VoL, XXIV. No.8 BONDS CARY 370 FOR BETER ROADS Larger Vote Polled Than Looked for by Advocates of $300,000 Road Bond Issue. COUNTRY DISTRICTS CARRIED DAY Difference of Opinions Expressed Prior to Election Made Guessing Uncertain—Everybody Sur- prised at Decisive Majority. For Bond Issue . . ~. 1122 Against Bond Issue . . bad Majority for Issue . 676 There no longer remains any doubt as to what the majority of the people of Itasca county want in the way of more and better roads. The proposed issue of bonds in the sum of $300,000 for the purpose of building county roads was thoroughly discussed pro and cow by the taxpayers. The most interesting and vital feature of the question was the taxes involved. Three hundred thousand dollars is a big bunch of money in round numbers and at first thought the impression is gained that taxes threughout the county would be greatly increased. The Herald-Re- view ‘ook up the tx fecture cf th matter with Auditor Spang and presented the facts so clearly that there remained no reasonable ex- cuse for amy voter fo be in ignor- ance of the probable yearly cost to the average tax payer of the county. At the present assessed val- uation of the county it was shown that the man who pays taxes on one thousand dollars would pay yearly on the bond issue about one dollar. It will nof average that amount for twenty, years, but] the very outside figures were given. The people studied over the proposition and very emphatically reecerced their votes in favor of paying the bills for more and better roads. It is the best invest- ment Itasca county could possibly make, and the voters are to be congratulated on their excellent judgment. Following is the vote for and against the proposition by precinct as returned by the official canvass-' ing board: 47 Trout Lake.. . 4 hi 48 Third River.. . 4 : ; | ANOTHER: GHANGE 50 3 let meat 51 2 ieee 52 2; -|Man Charged - With.

It has been his constant aim to advance the inter- est of every individual and every enterprise within the confines of the county. We have reason to feel that these efforts have been sub- stantially appreciated, and in turn we deeply appreciate the liberal patronage that has been accorded the Herald-Review by the citizens of Itasea county. The publishers are now desirous of making the Herald-Review a regular visitor to the home of every resident of the county who reads the English language. Our ambition is to make a paper that will merit such popularity. In order tlo do this the price of subscription has been reduced to $1.00 per year, including the Month- ly Magazine section, to residents of Itasca county.
