BRIEFS FROM. THE PEOPLE, ;
Seventy-five thousand dollars
spent for good roads by Polk
county would give work to the
unemployed, make available her
great resources, increase real es-"
tate values, give impetus to goody
schools, add greatly to the social
life of the county, give new cour
age and spirits to her citizens and
start a progressive, "movement
that is necessary to success.
Letf,s have the bond issue. ,
B. L.. Ballenger.
Good roads are the only hope
of our county. Let us urge the
commissioners to issue Donas and
u;m fK oa0 - w.ft. owfw,
build the roads. ' With a system
of good sand and clay roads pene
trating every; part of our county,
our taxable property;, would
double in less than five years and 1
Polk County one of the richest
