INFORMATION AS TO
BOND ISSUE ELECTION

A number of the voters and tax-pay-
ers in Spotsylvania county having re-
uuested our opinion as to the liability
Of the county for the bonds proposed to
be issued for roads, we state:
That the Act of the General Assembly
of Virginia. approved March s, 1906,
authorizes any county in the State to
issue bonds for the purpose of macad-
amizing or otherwise permanently I'M
proving the public roads of any Magls-
terial district in said county.
This Act requires that majority OF
the qualified voters of the entire county
voting upon the question shall be IN
favor of the issuing of the bonds for
abe purpose aforesaid, but the principal
and interest of these bonds are to be
paid exclusively by tax levied on all
property liable for State taxes in the
Magisterial district in which the pro-
ceeds of said bonds are to be expended.
Hence, if the election on the End No.
vember shall sanction the issue OF SAID
bonds, the taxes to pay the principa
and interest of said bonds must be LEVIED
exclusively on the property liable FOL
State taxes in CORTLAND and Chancellor
Magisterial districts, respectively.
That is, the taxes to pay the princi
pal and interest of the bonds issued tol
roads in CORTLAND Magisterial distric
must be levied exclusively on the prop
erty in that district; and the taxes u
pay the principal and interest OF tn
bonds issued for the roads in Chancel
lor Magisterial district must be levle'
exclusively on the property in that dis
trict. No taxes to pay either the prin
cipal or the interest of any of SAT-
bonds can be levied in Livingston ant
Berkeley Magisterial districts.
Livingston and Berkeley Magisterla
districts will be absolutely exempt iron
any liability for said bond issues.
