Ho far as know we have paid and all surely State the taxes re quired of ns, poor sliould be objects of the State's watch ful care, and I suppose the State would require no higher evidence of the fact of our poverty than the evidence of the grand jury of the county. That several bridges are badly needed be built is without certain. • That they cannot the people are taxed for the purpose, or we got out side help in some way is also certain, for six-tenths of 1 per cent levied for the county income purposes, the supplemented from with to county all other sources will lcavo no money in the county treasury to build bridges or repair thos,e already built.
