Dbes it ever occur to the aver- Polk County that he 1s paying the tax every age taxpayer in year for good roads without hav- ing the roads and without any necessary blame being attached to the County Commiissione Yet such is the fact, and the rea- 2 son is evident if one stops for a moment to look carefully into the matter. For instance, the road and bridge tax brings m this year about one hundred thousand dollars, twenty thousand dollars of which goes to the incorpor- ated towns, leaving about eighty thousand dollars for the building and mpintnance of county roads. Each Commissioner is entitled, under the law, to his proportion of this amount for his particu- lar district, making an apportion- nent of about sixteen thousand dollars for road Dbuilding and maintenance in each district of the county. It will readily be seen that no so-called permanent roads could be built with such a small sum of money, and al- most all of it is used practically in maintenance of roads with very little in the way of exten- It is casily figured out that the sion. net amount of ecighty thousand dollars received from taxation for road purposes would pay the interest, provide a sinking fund large enough for the retirement of long time bonds and leave a substantial balance for the main- e tenance of a large system of GOOD roads, and that these roads could be built NOW, so that the present generation might have the benefit of them and the county move aggressive- ly along the line of agricultural development, which is not possi- ble with such roads (or none at all) as the prospective settlers are invited now to tie up to. Polk County is a little behind the other progressive counties in the ‘State and it is in order to make some plans and take some carly action in this matter that the meeting is called for at Bar- tow next Monday, the 2oth, at which time a strong and influen- tial body of the taxpayers are urged to be present to organize a Good Roads Association for the good roads covering every set- tled portion of the county.
