In order that roads of the county
may be put in better condition, nnd al
so that a deficit in tho road fund may
bo mot, tho levy for road purposes will
bo a little higher this year than last.

ject to a little higher taxation for good
road" purposes; in fact taxation for
schools and good roads are two items
against which we should nover "kick."
