Tho Levy Court Tuesday afternoon
awarded to Patrick Fahey the contract
to build road across Silver Run in

action was taken after A. S. Truitt IL

Sl3, 500 20. The court sometime ago
authorized the expenditure OF $40, 600
for this work. Mr.. White made the

Mr. Mealey seconded it, No objection
was offered. 1t was decided on Mr..
9allagher's suggestion. 10 require a
bond OF Sl2,00O for the faithful per-
iormance OF the CONTRACT, Attorney
J"hn Il. Rodney to prepare the palers.
