MECHANIC:
Hello, Bill, got a job?
Nothing steady. ;
Neither have I.
The heaw lines on the above map show the roads to be hardsurfaced by the county by means of the proposed bond, issue.
Voters are asked to remember that this system of permanent roads will be constructed at an average annual cost to tax payers of
less than two dollars on the thousand valuation. There is not a farmer in Union County but pays more thaii that amount annually
in extra feed, wagon wear and breakage by reason of being compelled to haul half loads-over poor roads. Can you afford to
continue along m this rut when less than a two mill tax will enabe you to have the use of hardsurfaced roads over which you will
be able to move capacity loads twelve months of the year. , .
I've got to get Bomethingto meet my grocery bill. . .. i-: -1
TEAMSTER: I've got to get aometh ing so as to buy some hay and make a
payment on my house.
MECHANIC: I hear something about a lot of road work.
TEAMSTER: Yes, but that means bond the county for $400,000.00 and I don't'
want any of that because I've; got enough things to pay for now.
"MECHANIC: Now look hero, you and me are laborers and we've got to have
work. 85 per cent of that -bond issue goes for labor and provision right here in- our
own county. ' 1
. TEAMSTER: Well, I can get enough work to live on even if there is some competition.-
. ,-v- ' '
MECHANIC: What parlr of the bond issue will you have to pay? ' , -
TEAMSTER: 1 don't know, I never figured it out.
MiECHANIC: Well, let's see. What is your assessment?
TEAMSTER: Just a thousand dollars. 1 . ,
MECHANIC: Now I saw the other day whore an average tax of $l.Sfo on the
thousand dollars of assessed valuation would pay off trait bond issue in fourteen years.
TEAMSTER: .Yes, I figui-ed that over myself and found it correct.
MECHANIC: That means that all you would have to pay is $1.95 a year for
fourteen years which -would be $27.30. ,
TEAMSTER: That's right, I could make ten times that amount out of one haul
ing contract.
MECHANIC: I thought from the way you talked at first you would have to pay
about half thttt bond Issue. Now, that m oney that Is spent for labor, provisions and
material right here, amount to $340,000.00 j that sure would give us some work this
next year. -1
TEAMSTER: Yes, it would, and take up some of these idle tennis.
MECHANIC: It would sure relievo competition and there would be no danger
of the man who's got a job lo-sing out for somebody else.
TEAMSTER: Well, anyway, I can get more than thut $2.00 worth of good out of
those roads every year for the next fourteen years.
MECHANIC: Well, then let'fc vote for the bonds.
TEAMSTER: Alright, and also nsk all our friends and neighbors to do so.
