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. Auburn, Ga., Route 2. OFFICIAL ORGAN OF BARROW COUNTY WINDER, BARROW COUNTY. CiA.. THCKSOAY.
