Saturday. DeremU-r .'51, is the
late set for the meeting to vote
for or against a special tax levy
for rock roads in North Hillslio
ro district. If every voter in
favor of permanent road work
should turn out there would be
no (juestion of the result but
there's the rub. Ix-t every voter
who wants to see road improve
mentand at once turn out next
Saturday and swell the vote for
Utter roads. Last year a start
was made. This year we can
get Udtcr results for the same
enoris, ami there shoupi he no
negative vote because of sutur
ing the matter to go bv default.
The rich northern section hauls
a great deal over the roads and
under the law those in the city
can get but 00 per cent, of the
tax levied, i his leaves the coun
try mad ina isisition to get more
money exended than what it
pays out. If all who favor a
sjK'cial tax will turnout it will
mean several miles of rock road
to the north and northeast.
Turn out and give progressive-
ness a help.
The city proper will soon begin
an era of street improvements.
The voters in the city, for the
good of the city, and for the
U'nefit of those who drive to the I
city, should turn out In force and
help establish the era of perma
nent road-building.
