AS TO ROAD BONDS..
We have given the road bond issue a very
careful and painstaking consideration, and be
lieve that it is to the best interest of the people
of the county to vote the issue under the plans
formulated by the Ordinary for road work.
If the money arising from the sale of these
bonds were to be used only on the road from
Cumming to the Milton county line, as some of
our people believe, we would be against the is
sue from start to finish. But this is not the case.
Judge Tidwell informs us that it is his inten
tion to put a good soiled road through every dis
trict in the county with this bond money. In this
way it will be a benefit to every tax payer in the
county, and not a special few.
The two banks in Cumming and one or two in
Atlanta, have agreed to use the money not in use
and pay the county five per cent interest on the
same. In such case, if it required only twenty
thousand dollars to work with the first year, the
county would draw interest from these banks at
five per cent, and we wduld really only pay in
terest on twenty thousand dollars.
Another fact is that this county can not receive
any aid from the government unless we vote the
bond issue and put up dollar for dollar. If we put
up one hundred thousand dollars and get the
same amount from the government, we will have
two hundred thousand dollars to spend on our
roads.
Judge Tidwell informs us that if the people
vote the bond issue it will not be necessary to
levy the property tax of 40 cents on the hundred
dollars for road purposes under the alternative
load law passed at the last grand jury. It will be
necessary to levy a tax to support and maintain
the convict camp. This would mean a saving to
the people of about ten thousand dollars a year.
Forsyth county is the best one in this section
of Georgia. We have the fertile lands, the farm
ers, the implements and the stock to make it a
much better section in which to live. \\ e are cut
off from railroad facilities, and we need good
public highways for transportation. then our
farm lands would climb in value, and every foot
of ground would be in cultivation, as it would be
the means of hundreds of good farmers coming
into its borders to take up their abode with us.
It is not our purpose to dictate to the people
of the county how they should vote. We only give
you our candid opinion in the matter,, and leave
to you what you think best in casting your ballot.
Next Wednesday, the 25th, is the day of the
election. We would be glad that every voter in
the county would go out and vote, whether he
is for bonds or against them, and let the majority
say whether we have them or do not have them.
