The following atutoment rnlniif
to the road question comos from a
man . who needs no Introduction to
union county citizens. Mr. Wright
hu been a resident of this county
All of his lite and Is a tnxpayor.
He Is a koon observer and has giv
en tho mattor enroful consideration.
Therefore his views upon the sub
ject are worthy of consideration.
L. A. Wright of Union
"I have glvon the matter of good
roads and tho bonding proposition
considerable thought, and after
caroful consideration am satisfied In
uiy own mind thnt tin coming bond
oleotlon should carry. Of course,
wo are all In favor of good roads.
No one quostlons thnt part of tho
Issuo. It is simply a mattor of
when and how. I can see no othor
way than to bond the county. As I
understand the plan, every dollar
appropriated by Union county is
practlcully mulched by state and
federal appropriations. Tho mattor
of the additional tax made neces
sary by the bond Issuo does not
scare me In the least, In tho first
place, I do not consider It an ox
ponso. I put the cost of good roads
In the investment class. In my es
timation a good rond Is or. much an
Investment as the ti actor or tho
plow. 1 enn also seo how good
ronds will bring about tho subdi
vision of many of tho largo farms,
and no one questions tho fact that
Union county needs nirfre Tiirnl
cltlrtcns. In this day or automobiles
und trucks n good rond bed Is ab
solutely necessary If wo ato to hopo
to get full efficiency from our trans
portation Investment. I feol that
Union county has passed tho repair
and patching days and now wo must
build for today and tomorrow, In
stead of simply for today. Tho bonds
will bo paid for within tho twonty
year period and they will have earn
ed their cost long before the final
payment is dun. I nm certain that
If we do not votn this bond Issue at
this time tho other highways will
havo been constructed beforo tho
Columbia highway Is finished
through Union county and the tour
ist traffic will be diverted over other
routes and wo will ho completely off
the map so far as this Important
class of travel Is concerned. I do not
feid that wo can afford to delay the
mattor. Yes, I am In favor of good ,
roads, and hopo to see tho bond Is
sue carry. I also M'smi to go on rec
ord as saying that I bi-llevo In mak
ing all stale and county road con-
slructlon through properly adver
tised contracts and not by the state
or county. I think this system will
insure better work at a less cost.
We must havo the roads If wo wish
to keep Union county on the map."
