It will be seen that the bond election in Jackson county is only the beginning of counties bonding themselves for road improvements.

Besides building nearly three miles of road at a cost of above $'..*0,1X10, it is proposed to raise $15,000 or $10,000 in cash, and il this is done it will make a good showing for some assis tance from the county nt some future date.
