THE PROGRESSIVE FARMER, MARCH 7, 1899. LET POSTERITY HELP. Xo the E litor of The Observer: Ihe action of the county commis sioners in petitioning the Legislature to autboriz3 the issue of $100,000 for ro3d bonds ia a eubjact that will bear vectilation and invito discussion. I will only cffcr one thought that presents jjaelf to my mind forcibly, and that ia ibis: If we, who are now building these route spend our livea and substance in ci:ikin improvements, those who euc ceed U3 will bo more benefited by them than we are and should share wich ua the burdens of those improvements. I livor the bond issue and would eug n Jt that wo make it double the amount Lkji far and make it $200,000 with cui aoie conditions aid eafeguards in corporated as to the amount of bonds to be fold and disbursed annually. If we will thus arrange for posterity to help U3 build the roads, then let us set convicts from outside sourcea to push the work, but it we are going to bear all the expanses now and levy a special tax annually of from $30,000 to f 35 000 a year to maintain and operate the convicts, let ua not go too fast. Lst ua not bore with too big augur, but if we were to issue bonds, payable say 30 years hence, the population in that time will perhapa more than double and the taxable property more than thribbie. The people then living could pav these bonds and not feel it much. If we build the roads and pay the in terest annually on the bonda we will well. Posterity will get the full benttiiol theae improvements and en oy the enhanced values resulting therefrom and it seems to me nothing but j J?c that poaterity should help ua to build these roada.
