matter under discussion,
At the close of Da. Pratt's
speech Hon. J. A.' Long came
forward nd stated his position
on the road question. He stated
that he was heartly in favor of
good roads, and believed the only
way for us to gt them was by a
bond issue. He asked the people
to iustruct him as their represent
tatTuvvhut they wanted, and he
0l$ try to give it to them. If
they preferred one method above
ant ther to speak out and say so.
Personally, he favored the is

length and . mac e his Dosition

to issuing bonds over the heads
of Ihe people. He favored bonds
and was in favor of -making- tbs
amount large enoughto do the
wrk- ;
W, A. Davis said he thought it
would be inhuman to pass a bond
issue without giving the people a
risht to voie on the question. He:
was in favor oFgood roads and
bonds, uf'thought each' township
should knOw that it was to get its
part of the money and to receive,
their pan of the benefits to be
derived fron: such bonds. r
J. A. Long, Jr., stated that he
was in frvor of the petition plan
for in that manner the people
could express their views just as;
clearly as by an election. .
W. W, Whitt stated that ha
favored the petition, as it was
much cheaper and more satisfac
tory, He said that the County
had paid cut from 60 to $75',00a
in road taxes, and feeline generate
Iy was that Roxboro township
had gotten more than her share.
George E. Harris said lhat he,
believed the" people of the County,
would vote for a bill authorizing
the issuing of $100,000, nro?idT
ed, the bill stated that Roxboro
was to get $20,000 and the pther
eight townships should receive.
$10,000 each. He believed yeryJ
township in the County would
vote for a bill if the provision
was made that each township
would get its part. ' "a
Dr. R S. Bayne& stated that
said he would favor the bond is
sue if the people asked for it, and
asked Mr. Whitfield if they asked
by a petitfon with a majority of
the voters signing it if that would
be acceptable to him. Mr. Whit
field ieplied, slating that he
would insist on leaving the -matter
to a vote of the people.
J. A. Long again took the floor,
stating he was going to leave the
matter to the will of the people.
He was opposed to the township
expenditure, in fact doubted the
legality of such a provision,"
though he had not consulted a
lawyer on the subject.
R. G. 'Gates said that roads
could be built in Olive Hill town
ships for half what they could in
Mt. Tirzah, and that some of the
townships had souQiany more miles
than others ' that the township
proposition would hardly bj. fair.
Rev. J. A. beam took the4
floor and stated that he was cn I
happy to see so unanimous "an
expression for bonds for goodlceremony or motion.
