Steele, Treasurer of Cald well County, beg to submit my report of Caldwell County road and bridge funds as follows, from Oct. 6, 1917, to April 9, 1919: RECEPITS Balance ' on hand last re- pot, Oct. 6, 1917 $ 4,253.86 Received from gross sale of bonds . 50,825.10 Received interest 128,00 Received interest 30.00 Received interest 400.00 Received on John J. George judgment 2,500.00 Received interest 160.00 Received from general County fund 1,383.80 TO THE VOTERS AND TAX. PAYERS OF CALDWELL COUNTY We would like to call your atten tion to a road tax system instead of a bond, like the one to be held on May 8, 1919. Giving each tax payer the privi lege of working the road to the amount of his taxes, and the road then gets the amount of the full dol lar. By doing this it is cheaper and gives no room for a graft. If the people of Caldwell county would vote down the bond and (let the Legislature give us a road tax system it would have us six hundred thou sand dollars interest, and would give every . man a chance to see. just where his taxes were spent on the road, j . Furthermore, the impression has been mt le that the government is to furnish $500,000 and the State $250, 000 to go with the county $250,000, which is a mistake. The government and State furnish nothing in this election. T. W. AUSTIN.
