Some of our wise statesmen be
lieve it would be a good plan tu
bond the county for a million dol
lars and build hard surface roads
so automobiles can travel, and let
future generations pay for it This
is not a square deal to saddle an
immense debt on the incoming gen
erations who have no voice in creat
irg the debt. This seems to be ex
tremely selfish to put a debt on a
people who can't help themselves.
Some of the best and most prosDcr
ous towns in the state keep out of
debt and only make improvements
as they can pay for them. This is
wise.
