is generally known as the Rosebud road across the Minne chaduza and which will come before the voters of this precinct next Tues day is one that should receive the care ful consideration of all who are inter ested m the welfare of our town and county That the road needs repairs of a permanent nature is unquestioned but the method of paying for the work is under debate Many contend with justness that the county should do the work many that the men most direct ly benefited should do it and some think the work and expenss should be divided While the proposed bond ft 1200 it is believed that this amount will be more than sufficient for the con templated improvement It is further thought that if the road is once put in good shape the county will accept it and keep it in repair the expense of which will be very small The money will be expended by a committee of business men taxpayers who will be interested in doing the work as econ omically and well as possible The la borers employed will be citizens of our couiity and the money will thus be kept at home The increase in the amount of each mans taxes will be inappreciable With these points to consider we hope that each voter will arrive at some conclusion on the matter and vote his convictions Dont stay at home Exercise- your right of suf frage and if you think the road needs repairs and that at once say so by your vote The
