At the meeting of the Board
OF Supervisors Monday it was
decided TO hold an election 70
decide whether Lee county
should issue 100000 in bonds
70 improve the public roads in
the county. The election will
not be held until the next regu-
lar election in order to give the
people ample time to make m
their minds. This was a wise
step and the only thing that we
regret IS that il will be so long
before the election can be held
we firmly believe that a large
majority of the people are now
IN favor of issuing bonds. In
our opinion this is the only way
that good roads will ever be
built.-Jonesville Star.
