voted to build a State Highway and improve other roads in
this Precinct and to vote a 15 cent maintenance tax.
For the information of the voters we offer the following
explanation and reasons why these two propositions should
carry: v ,
1. The property valuation in this precinct is approx-
imately $1,000,000.00, necessitating a tax levy of 45 cents
on the $100.00. ’By issuing twenty-five year serial bond’s,
one bond of $2,000.00 can be retired each year, reducing
the-rate one cent each year until the total issue is retired.
2. The maintenance tax of 15 cents will create au an-
nual maintenance fund of $1500.00 that can only be used
in the up keep of roads in Fairfield Road District No 8.
3. The State Highway Commission has designated a
State Highway from Corsicana to Huntsville, via Fairfield
and Centerville. Bond issues have been voted in Navarro
county to Streetman; Streetman has a bond issue election
the same date of the Fairfield election. Stewards Mill has
a small bond issue and if our issuu-^rries, they will ask
for au election to vote $20,000.00 additional bonds and 15
cents maintenance tax. Justice of the Peace Precinct No. 8,
Dew and Laneiy, will immediately ask for an election, as
will Leon county. Madison county now has an election
for Nov 19th to issue $100,000.00 in bonds. Walker

highway.
4. A State Highway having been designated through
this road district makes us eligible to State and Federal aid
in the up-building and maintenance of the road. One-half
of the automobile tax returnsto. the county where it is paid
in. This will result yi at least $3,000.00 being returned
annually to Freestone county to be expended under super-
vision of the State Highway Commission.
5. By having sufficient maintenance funds the roads
will be continually built up and improved and will open up
for easy access by us the principal market centers of the
State, and will mean more to the people of Freestone county
than would the construction of a railroad, as the auto truck
is destined to supplant the the railroad in hauling freight
where the highways exist, as the auto, truck hauls freight
cheaper and more expeditiously than the railroad on short
hauls.
6. This means much to the people of the county in the
way of development and cheaper freight rates, and we ap-
peal to the voter to give this matter his careful attention
iind vote for belter roads.

lectful about making reports to
the Gran I Jury of crimes taken
up in their respective Courts.
This hampers the District and
County Attorneys in getting a

Grand Jury* who has to pass ou
them. They should take notica
and be more careful hereafter.
We have examined the jail and
