I respectfully urge that acme arrange

ot your office you cau Inaugurate loma

far better rot tbe buy .and lam bumlll

Tba next matter to wbton I ltaptct

From Urn above report tt I* aero that
Mecklenburg it bulkhog 13 milt* of
road per year at a ooat of aboat 12,800
a mUa. Already the baa a eytlrtn that
ti almost an Incalculable benefit lo bar
people. Every loyal eulzen of Uaatoo
county would be gratified to have eocb
roada here. Bat it can not be dona In
n day. Mecklenburg baa been alive on
tfce road qoeetou for 15 years; we ere
juat awakening to the importance of
tba subject, Oar people seem to tblnk
tbat If we Juat bad ilia money macadam
roads would IntUioUy spring np la all
dlroeUona, forgetting tbat even with
the money la band it would take ten
years to build toy thing like to ade
quate system of roada.
Mecklenburg baa advantages for such
a system of roads that are laoklof to
us. At everybody lo tba oouuty goes
to Charlotte, roada radiating from this
oautar affaot all. Toan the people of
MeoelMburg have been educated U»
pay high taxes Tea cltlaao of Obar
fotte pUnka down nla to 80 poll tag
and 'H % property las with better
grebe loan we pay our paltry *2 00
poll and l ft property teg. But I ha
great advantage Mecklenburg has over
ua, and Uw real secret of ber auooasa la
road hulldlog is, that Cliarlotte pays |
of tba ux of tbe eotlra Oouuty. Tha
farmers eau afford to build roada wboa
by patting op tbetr mcosy they can
