COMMISSIONER’S APPEAL To the Voter* of Atkincon County. Our county need* a courthouse and jail, and improved loads. VV> need 11 1 esc conveniences as muel now as we will live or ten years hence, and we can build as chcapl; now : s liv • or ten years hence Jbiilce s .sane us that inaleiiaa and labor are as cliea|> i ow as tin y willlefoi tli ‘next five or ten year . Then why wait for conditions ti channel The cost of building cai just as easily advance as lo conn down. We deem it to the best in terests of the county to build now and arc convinced that it is to oui inti rest to vote for bones. If we vote bonds we will pay foi these public conveniences through a term of thirty years, the interest and one thirtieth of the principal each year. This way will enable the jeiple to have these permanent improvements at the least possible cosl. We, then, ask each and ev cry voter to be sure and vote for bonds and to use all the influence he has to make the bond issue a success, if bonds are successful we arc able to build, paying only a small payment each year instead of paying for it in one year by a tax levy for $75,000.00 for building pun o es The law forbids the taxing of the people to create a building fund, this taxing to be continued through a term of years. Therefore, if we arc to build by taxation we arc com pelled to raise all the money in one year, and wo fear to do this would place a very heavy burden on the people; when we vote bonds, wo arc not hurt, and at the rate of in crease in the valuation of the prop erty of our county, the increased valuation will take care of these bonds. Therefore, oui tax rate will not necessarily be increased but little, if any. We realize the need of good roads and promise, if we vote bonds, to Improve our public roads so that wo can have a fairly good system of roads. These roads to be built so that they will, .as nearlyas is jh** siblo, accommodate every person in the county, (iood roads area crying necessity of the county, and we are unable to secure 1 hem other than by bonds. Of course we must have good roads, and that means we nius' vote bonds. Let’s vote bonds to build a court house and jail and for good roads, for we need both. We must haVe both. Progress demands that we do these things and take our place beside our neighbor counties in their march onward and upward. It is to the county’s interest, and to every taxpayer’s interest to vote bonds on February 21st, 1920. We, therefore, urge every voter in terested in lhc|welfarc of his coun ty to vote for bonds. Hes|>ectfully Submitted, Jeff Kirkland, Chairman, J. M. Roberts, Dave Weathers, Commission ers of Roads and Revenues. Remember the date: Saturday, February 21st, 1920. Wanted.
