A FARMER WRITES IN OPPO
SITION TO COUNTY COM.
Barrow Times:
Asa bill has recently been en
acted and to he submitted to the
voters of Barrow county at the
primary election on September 8,
for ratification, to have three
commissioners of roads and reve
nue for the county of Barrow, it
is time for the voters to weigh
tiiis matter carefully, consider
whether it is a wise move or not
and for the best interest of our
county.
When it comes to putting more
expense on us, making new offi
cers and paying more salaries we
should think seriously and know
'hat we are doing before we vote
•f
for a measure.
Why burden the people with
more taxes and more burdens
when taxes are already burden
some.
Why add three more officials to
look after the roads and county
affairs in a small county as ours
which can he looked after by the
ordinary?
Why go to this extra expense
and make our taxes higher when
there is no necessity for it?
These three commissioners will
put an additional expense on ns
of more than $3,000 yearly—an
other burden on the taxpayers
which seems to me entirely unnec
essary and uncalled for.
This is a matter in which ev
ery voter should feel deeply in
terested, and if every man will
think over it carefully, every man
will conclude it is not for the best
and will cast his vote against
commissioners and leave this in
the hands of the ordinary.
1 hope the voters of Barrow
county will do this and feel it is
for the best interest of Barrow
county and that we do not need a
Board of Commissioners, the chair
man to draw a salary of SIBOO per
year, with other expenses to he
paid him, and two other commis-
missioners drawing a total of $6.00
per day for every day in session.
Think over this when casting
your ballot and vote against com
missioners. Respectfully' yours,
FARMER.
