Features Advdcated by Democrat - for the Past Few Months.- : .The Greater Hendersonville club went on record Friday night as unanimously favoring: the levying of "an industrial tax on Hendersonville property. . The . meeting was well attended and was composed of one pf the most rep resentative gatherings of Henderson ville ; people" ever assembled for the transaction -6f. club affairs. -. . . There was not a voice raised against the principle of an industrial tax as has been r advocated by- the Democrat for the" last few months, the only dif ference of opinion being as to the amount of the tax and the methods of expenditure, but as to these questions there was no difficulty, in getting to- ethert after, which the meeting of the representative business : and prof es eional men of the city unanimously adopted a resolution favoring such a tax. - ' ' . - r-- . . The "resolution .was offered by W. ' A.

" The resolution as amended so as to read not less than half a mill and not more than on milL It was pointed out by advocates of the new tax: that it is absolutely nec essary that some action be taken fori greater support of the club; that a few -faithful workers have borne the burden of advertising the city through the club's work: that the task has grown too burdensome for a few" and that it Is high time that the burden be distributed and equalized both among the willing workers and those who cive the club a deaf ear. Mtwaspointed out that" a one mill tax 'would raise about $2,000 on the approximate $2,000,t)00 worth of pro-1 peity in the city- that the lo.voo pro perty owner; would he required to pay only" 10 r that the $300 property" hold I r er would be tated only.50 cents .The tax will ie spent for r club woxlr; for advertising: the city and thereby increasing its popularity "as a health and" pleasure resort; for encouraging the location of manufacturlngrihdus-1 trial " and commercial plants in and near the city ;vthe encouraging or tne building of more homes; to increase the Dooulatlon, taxable property and business prosperity of .Hendersonvill? and community.

ROAD SUPERVISOR PATTON -. ': I" TALKS ABOUT THE ROADS Denfes Charges That Sand has Wash. v ed Back Into Creek; Explains : tfause of Muddj Roads, : The wide-spread ' talk of proposed road bond issues.; the present condi tion of the new roads and the agita tion for more road building in Hender son county has "resulted in an endlesV chain of talk. There are all "kinds of views as to the effectiveness" of the work that has been done, and the work that should be done, hence there are few conclusions of one accord. -: There are .those who are opposed to sand-clay roads just because the new roads-are in a muddy condition while the advocates -of the present system of road building are loud in their ap proval of prevailing conditions. Some road enthusiasts declare that the work has been of little avc'l, averr ing that the sand has ' washed back into the creek; that it was dumped on a hard road- bed last summer and did hot get mixed in the . least, and that therefore no good: was done whatever. The next -enthusiast says that condi I tions are as good as could be expected. ouuie oi me roaa taisers contend that the road builders should have gone to the expense of mixing the sand" and clay and then packed it by machinery. Others say that this would have been too expensive and that ' nature - and traffic shoultt have. been allowed to do the mixing and packing, as is being done! - ." I - -.;- IJfoad Snperrisor Patfon Talks; " ?. Probably the views of ."Road" Super visor ,P. Vi Patton on the subject of road building would be of more Inter est than those of any -other one man in the county by. reason of his expen , ence and observations. 3 .- :- " ' Mr,: Patton,' when seen" by a repre sentative -of the Democrat,- declared that it was folly to argue that the sand , had been washed back into' the creek. He said that sand i not washable un-i .-- f der ordinary conditions1 and- that f or this reason: per 'cent of it remains on 'the road3 '-'..despite r the claims of others Ttnat' about all, the sand wash ed away. . llri .-Patton. ray3- that saud is "not; aT-; material".

The sand wa poured, down In most instances on a hard road bed during- the summer foi the reason that . it "was cdnsiderably less expensive to let It mix naturally by rain and traffic than purchase' mix-, ing .machinery. Mr. Patton declare that this is the best of mixing weather and that . where sufficient sand : ha been placed, ..different kinds of clay requiring different ..amounts of sand t to make the roads about " equal, th roads after once drying out will hard en firmly and remain so "during com ing winters until by long usage the? need further attention. " Mr. Patton says that there are onljr a few good pieces of road for the rea son that only a small portion of th work done during the past summe! was thoroughly mixed and packed be fore winter weather. Some of the roads, he says, will need more sand, for it would have made traffic almost impos sible had a sufficient quantity of sand been poured down at one time. -Mr. Patton says that some peopl contend "that the sand has washed away just because the roads are not white like sand beds. The sand, he says, has been colored by the water soaked" clay. Despite the critics Mr. Patton shows no signs of depression, traffic . Is doing just what had to be done In that way or by " machinery working processes at a great expense to the county. " He says that when the weather clears in spring and the roads begin to harden tind are smoothed by systematic dragging, the crown of th a road will form, the mixture of sand and clay will harden and then the people will be taught what it takes to' make the best sand-clay roads. . . ' "Work Is a Little Slow Now. . Mr." Patton said that road work was practically suspended' during Ithebad weather, only a little sand-hauling be ing done. 4 He realizes that this is the best time In all the year to haul and have the sand mixed, but it is expen sive and difficult to get sand-hauler j at the regular price for the -reason that the roads needing the sand are In a-very bad condition because of the grading recently done. . f In order to get sand out on the Shaws creek road arrangments have been .to load, it on cars at the freight depot of the . Sduthern. . railway and. ship to a siding a few miles from town to a point only a short distance from where the sand Is to be applied to the roads. , ' .-- . : . -' . ' Mr. Patton is not i nthe least dis couraged ; over the roads. .
