were 70 be paid out on warrant sign
ed by the chairman and treasurer and
at least five other members. Why?
Who were the other five? At present
Messrs. Kinard, Norwood, Cromer,
Wright. and Summer, all Of the town
Of Nevberry It had been said it was
too far to send out into the county TO
get majority every time it was de-
sired to sign warrant. If they
could find anybody further from Gown
and on worse road than Jno. NJ. Su-
Der he would like to see him. Mr..
Smith was on the Laurens line. The
reason they didn't choose man from
each township was because they want
ed to control it, and they would con-.
troll it, and every dollar Of it would
be put in the Commercial bank at four
per cent, even if othef banks bid
more, because majority Of the COM
mission were from that bank.
And why deposit the money to the
credit Of the commission, instead Of
to the credit of the county treasurer?
You vote the bonds, he said, and
you put the money in whose hands {?
You don't know, because none Of the
commission will live forty years.
The money would be put in the bank
at four per cent, and the people would
go there and borrow their own money
at eight and ten per cent. The COM
mission under the act was to have the
right to invest in Newberry county
real estate. What do You want with
somebody to buy property for you
for?
Prof. ". K. Sigh interrupted at
this point to call Mr.. Blease's atten-
tion to the fact that the act SAID real
estate sureties.
Mr.. Blease said that meant lending
the people their own money on their
own farms. If the bonds were voted
every foot Of land in the county
would be liable for them. What right
have the commission to inve:t your
money? he asked. How could thay
build roads with money loaned out on
land?
Under the act every foot cf road
had to be surveyed and laid ont for
permanent improvement? Who paid
for it? An engineer WIS to be EN-,
ployed at any salary the commission
pleased, and he VAS to have such as
sistant engineers as he desired.
Somebody in tte arl:en1e at his
point asked tie question: "What 60
they want with an engineer?'
Mr.. Blease: 'Somebody wants a
fat job.'
The roads were to be relocated and
surveyed, and the people had to pay
for it. Pretty maps were to be drawn,
and the people had to pay for them.
There was not only to be a salary for
