Why do you not drive over your
roads and And out what is needed
At least once a week? For Mime
reason I don't. Cannot (ret over
them. If you will ditch, drain and J
crown them and then employ some
one on each Section to drug them
when in proper condition and keep ]
them passable the year round, and i
we taxpayers are not going to be i
satisfied unless they are kept in i
better repair than they have been i

ro THE TAXPAYERS OF TRAN
SYLVANIA COUNTY
I am very glad that our Road
Jupervinor hae entitled hia Article
>y calling on the taxpayers of Tran
lylvania County, for they are the
>nes who pay the taxes to ke$p up'
he roads, and expect result^ and
f our Supervisor cannot give results
le should step out and let some one
mve the job who can, or go to P.
ilcndcrson or Carr Giazener and be ,
aught how to make a dirt road or
<oep it up, as they kept their roads
^asegble during the winter.
Tho Supervisor says the figures
is to the money spent during the
nonths of Nov., Dec., Jan.', andFeb.
ire not correct. I only ask the
taxpayers to go the County Com
missioners Office and eee for them
selves what the Supervisor received
sach month, then they will know.
The money he received in Jan. was
not published, which wae, 11,609.36
I suppose this was for work done
in December when it wap too cold .
to work. Acoording to the Super
visors own admission the fire felt
better than the cold, air, but he'
should be excused- as it was during
the Holidays and we all are liberal
spenders- at that time.. He accuses SV
me of living in Brevard Township
and wanting all the work done here.
I as well as other Doctors travel,
the roads in every ToWnship until
they become impassable. Our Sup
ervisor would have the people be
lieve that the roAd| in the outlying .
Townships are Boulevards, but a
very prominent man in Gloucester <
Townahipj. where the roads were al
so impassable, said he wanted the
Supervisor to send his Photograph
up there so they could see how he
looked as they had not seen him
in that Township since he had been
appointed Supervisor.
I will state here for the taxpayers
benefit, that the bill when introduc
ed in the last General Assembly
was to give the Supervisor $1,8 00 V
00 a year, but our Honorable Rep
resentative, W. H. Duckworth,
wo^ld npt agree to give but $l,5t)0.
thereby saving three hundred a
year to the county, and I am Con
fident if he had it to do over hi
v^ould cut the salary to less that
one thousand Dollars a year,
Mr. taxpayer if you" will look at
these figures you can readily see
how some of our road mdtaey is
going: Our Supervisor admits hav
ing two or three men hired all the
time. We will give him only, two <
at Seventy Five Do^ars per month
and expenses, which would at least
SakB-it^One Hundred Dollars a
month e4ch; in- twelve months this
would be $2,400.00. Six horses at
six dollars a day for 366 days fori ?
feed will be $2,190.00 and the Stfj*
el-visor's salary $1,600.00; total of
$6,090.00, and a tractor recently
purchased for about $900.00 will
make $6,990.00 which taken from
$8,000.00 road money will leave
$1010.00 to be spent'on the roads.
Our Supervisor also admits that
there are some bad places in some
roads, but has the audacity to make
the assertion that the roads ere in
better shape than they have been
for many years, he surely means
the hard surface roads which the
State has made and maintains.
As for our dirt, roads for which
he is responsible it would take $6,
000,00 to put them in as good con
dition as the yw ere when he took
charge. Anyone who has to travel
them knows that the Side ditches
are full of leaves, sticks, dirt and
mud, to above the leven of the
road bed, and which haa not been
removed since he took charge, also
diverts broken in, drains stopped
?o etc. The Supervisor says that
I.. "! are three causes for the bad
condition of our roads. First, Cold
bad winter. We have had winters
since the beginning of time. The
road overseers prepared their roa is
for winter by draining and crown
ing them, which the Supervisor did
not do. Sccond; Mileage, Our
roads have not grown arty longer
about 3 ft. narrower, fifty miles
shorter, and those are the leading
highways, which the State has tak
en over. ? Both the foregoing excu- ?
es are very flimsy. Third; Short?
Funds; If you w'll only look over
the way the funds are spent, you
:an see why they are short. We
pay more road tax than ever befor^/?
sut get poor results. ' ^
The teams when kept in Brevard
ro out abojit 7:28 a. m. and walk
from one to eight miles to work,
talking about 3 miles per hour, and
nust quit in time to be In the barn
>y 6 p. m., one hour for dinner.
iTou see we have only had about 5
ind 1-2 hours road work. Can any
'armer pay his taxes and make a
iving on his farm and work 5 1-2
lours a day? Another trouble, Our
Supervisor does not know the con
lition of the roads, for the road
>v?r which he drives mostly is from
Jrevard to Rosman and Lake Tox
iway, the one the State Highway
Maintains, and which Mr. Carr Gla
e?W keeps in good condition, yet
t is a^awly graded road.
Our St^arvisor says there are a
>out 200 miles or so of roads.
