Gentlemen: 1 am very much gratified to notice in the Winston County Enterprise tbis week that the voters of your county will, on July 1st, decide whether or not Winston County will put herself on the map and fret in touch with the balance of the United States by builJ-iog a Federal Aid Road. If yju vote these bonds and build this road, then you are on a system of Highways that covers 168,000 miles and touches every plate and territory in the Union, and on a system of Highways that will be perpetually maintained. The Federal Government will pay one-half the cost of this road when built, without any expense to your county. When this road is completed, then the County has no more expense, and the state will expend not less than $5000.00 per year in keeping it up to standard. The Federal Government is expending one and one-half million dollars per ye ir on good roads in Mississippi, and up to this time county has never received a dollar.

Yet you are paying your proportion of the taxes and will have to continue to pay them whether you build any Federa-Aid Roads or not. As a business proposition, Isubl mit that your county cannot afford to turn down this proposition. If this road is built, it will add to the material i rospenty of your county and enhance the valje of all real estate in it, whether it is on the improved road or not. Neshoba County has recently voted the bond issue to connect with your county on the north and with Newton county on the south. To give you some idea of what people who have built Federal Aid roads think of them, will cite you to Wayne county, Mississippi, Two years ago, the voters in the northwestern Beat, by a small majority, voted bonds to build five miles of Federal Aid road.

Recently, they had an election on a bond issue to complete this road to the Clarka county line, and there was not a single vcte against it. If I can be of any service to you iu this matter, let me know. Yours very truly J. M.
