The fiscal court convened on Monday
TO hear the report of the committee on
the value of the turnpikes. The re-
port favors the purchase of the entire
30 miles OF road for $50 200, the prices
varying according TO the construction
and condition of the several roads. The
court adopted the report of the COM
mittee in full by Offering to buy the
roads at the prices named and pay cash
for them il bonds are voted next No
yember, and If not, 10 pay for them
IA part each year by making the p cent
levy on each 800 worth of property,
the title TO remain in the owners of
the rords unlil the price is fully paid.
They also agreed TO set apart $50 for
der. The court remained in session
three days, but the owners of most OF
the roads declined absolutely 10 take
the prices offered. The stockholders
of the Buckeye road will likely agree
to take the s2,397 offered for that road
and some others may agree to the
terms but the principal roads can not
be bought, and, as the court declines
TO lease again, it looks like we will Ell
, Their have raiders again or guards at a
, cost that will bankrupt the county. Be-
fore adjourning on Wednesday the
court purchased the Buckeye road for
81, 39I, II miles, and the Kirksville
road, five miles, at $500. They meet
again next Wednesday.
