Interest Shown In
C. of C. Road Meeting
Tuesday Night
Evidencing their interest in
the subject of roads in this vic-
inity some sixty citizens of the
Bartlett community 'with visi-
tors from Hollnnd and 'Granger1
attended the lOhamber of Com-
merce road meeting at the
Bartlett American (Legion Hall
Tuesday night and plied theBell
County and Williason County-
judges present with questions
concerning lateral roads farra-to-market
roads and state high-
ways. The principal subject discus-
sed was the question "How "to;
Get Some IRoads."
Judge Sam V. Stone's laiiiswer
to the question was to the effect.
that the only way he; knew to
get more roads now was to get
more money and that the only
way he knew to get more money
was to vote a bond issue. He ad-
ded he was not one normally to
favor a bond issue but that it
was the only way he knew at
this time to get more roads.
Judge Stone continued all ex-
penses connected with road
(building are now twice as
high as they were ten years .ago"
and the tax rate i's the same.""
There have been no roads ibuilt
since W.P.A. days in Williamson
County he stated.
On the good roads amendment
to the constitution to be voted
on Nov. 5 he stated that "h&
thought the amendment an ex-
cellent one but that it would not
make any money for road build-
ing or maintenance immediate
ly available as some have pre-
sumed. There will be no farni-t;a-market
reads built in this ipre
cinct this year he said ias we
have been left out by the state
highway department. Two roads
were designated and approved
but no funds 'were iprovided in
this year's program.
W. A. Messer county judge ot
Bell County said that he lhad
nothing to offer but sympathy
on the subject of securing more
roads. He opposes all bond is-
sues he stated but had nothing"
else to offer. Bell County (pre-
cinct 2 is a large .precinct and
the commissioner does not get
enough money to do wihat he
would like to do the judge ad-
ded. On farm-to-market roads he.
stated that this precinct has-
more miles designated in the
present program than amy otner.

commissioner-elect of Bell Coun
ty precinct & expressed the view
