the rural road work will have to de-

general road tax, TO per cent of the

If we do not avail ourselves of this
opportunity we will lose two hundred

Hay road at our own expenso and
pay all the exeensea taxed against us
for overhead crossings and Bridges1,
tho costs of which the state would
otherwise share equr.lly with us.
This is on opportune time as lnhor
