so great moment nceds to be thoroughly dis cussed and understood before the electors should commit to it There are a few things that most of the people understand 1st That the control of the roads

few of the farmers seem to think that some of our trusted Council officials have worked more in the interests of the Metropolitan Railway than in the interests of the farmers and this double love this serving of two masters makes them eel a little cau tious about entrusting the County Roads to them The question is what would County officials do if they were ask ed to allow the Electric Lines of
