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 suing pf bonds by legislation, but wants known on this by petition ing for it. He spoke at some length and . mac e his Dosition clear He opposed the issuing of bonds and appr0priating a fixed amount t0 any township as it wonId require great amount of bookkeeping anrpytherwise bring n hnm Pj0ndinons lhinh wpre. r.t. for the best interests of the County.

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.

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.

He had wjanted good roads- for years? ija'd left the County, and then the State, , but just could not stiy fa"y, and he wanted to see the people issue these bonds.
