Rock Hills Sewerage Bonds.
Columbia Record: OF much interest
to municipalities generally. and par
ticularly to the municipality Of Rock
Hill, is the decision Of the court, which
is unanimous, in the case Of E. H.
johnson and other members Of the
board Of public works Of Rock Hill
against Mayor John T. Roddey and the
members Of the Rock Hill town coun-
ell. The petitioners ask that the may
or and aldermen be mandamused to
turn over to the board Of public works
certain bonds to the amount Of $780,
900 recently voted for waterworks and
sewerage purposes. The purpose Of
the proceedings Is to validate the
bonds, but this the court refuses to
do, holding that the election was void
because the voters were not given OPP
portunity to say at the polls how much
of the issue should be devoted to wa
terworks and how much to sewerage.
The election will have to be held over
so as to give the voters chance to
vote separately about the amounts.
