THE COUNTY ROAD SYSTEM DEFEATED

Although we have not the full official vote upon the county road system, there is no question but that the voters of Osceola County defeated the proposition by a decisive majority on Monday last. A considerable cause for the adverse vote was the people were not sufficiently informed in regards the benefits from the proposed law.
