Sft-tMA goes strickly to the roads. This is not so. Eighteen dollars of this goes strickly for the disposal service and can not be used for anything else. This leaves $10 for sanding of the roads when needed, snow plowing when needed, graveling and grading. Also to come out of this ten dollars is postage td^&end out bills and to pay bills, get-well floral pieces to the members when needed. With fifty-seven members in the association this gives the association $570 to work with on the roads and extra mentioned above. With the prices of everything nowadays, it does not give the association much to work with on the roads. If you only have so much money coming in for the roads you cannot spend more than that amount on them, it just isn't there to do it. You do not have to pay your dues at one time. You can pay it by the half year, quarterly or yearly if you choose. Why not join the association and help them maintain the roads. Remember this, if the money is not there the roads cannot be maintained. It breaks down to a little over fifty cents n week to be long to, the association. Join now and help maintain the roads so they are driveaUe. You can send your money to the treasurer, Marion Leske, at 811 W. Southside. Back the association by joining today.
