' y . V... r1 :t. th en t'We con x f M . aey -rnii me in th'. : ii f aver . of vorhirr ui ilihj county by L.xation, We had this system a few years iiiTO, but the . mistake was made in letting the entire mileage to one person, and he not familiar with road building-, in conse quence of which the money was virtually thrown away. We are in favor of the tax system, then letting the work out in sections, requiring1 good . and sufficient bond of each con tractor. Or possibly a better plan would- be to issue, bonds sufficient to place the roads in good condition, then let it out by contract, to be kept in good eon dition. Do this and we believe the benefit derived would be so ereat and would enhance the value of farm lands to such ex tent that the payment of the bonds would work no hardship Upon any one. We believe we have 3 still better plan in mind, if it can be organized and worked, and we can see no reason -why it could n,ot be, and that is this : Before the fall work begins, and while the weather is good, have a cer tain day set apart as a Special Jtoad Day, and let every man, 1 old and young, rich and poor, in the county turn out and give one honest days work on the roads, so distributing ' themselves that the bad places will not be lack ing in force to put them in good condition. Jf any one is too old,, or is un able to work himself,1 let h;.m send team and let no one hold bgick for fear he Will do more thai the other feiow, nor be cause he does not own a carriage - or ' an -automobile. But let all wo possibly can do so, go from a, spi,rft of pure patriotism and a desire to do a little more than bis neighbor. Let the mills close down for tills, day, that the mill hands may I?ave an cttporr tunity of joining the rest a$ci let us all contribute one day of our lives at least to the betterment . if. Qua county. Let the land f Qwiasr who has dirt fcr Pushes to $V$ft. contribute the&e asneede $nd let the town man .who can not go, and the mill men con tribute in cash or in kind, that all bridges and 'culverts inay be . properly floored and 'that good foot-ways be plated across all Swamps. One day of honest concerted action along this line will do- more than thousands of dollars spent in any other way, and even the poorest man will lose sight of the fact that he has lost a day's wage in the conscions pride of doing good in his com munity. Good men, we think, to per feet this move would be the committeemen of the two politi cal parties, (but leaving all poU ttics out of it). - They could see and get pledges from every man in the county in a week or tea days, then appoint the day and good men as supervisors or di rectors of the work and we be lieve that in less than one day there will not be a foot of bad road in. Washington county, and there would be no bonds to pay Do we hear a 'second to thte . i3ea ? For Itepsentative. , 'To the Democratic voters of WasL in g ton Cotintj;- .
