County Attorney William Hooker,
being called into consultation, submit
ted the following report on the sub
road district for Orange Springs, Eu-
reka and Fort Mccoy:
| Ocala, Fla, March 81, 1913.
Hon. Board of County Commissioners,
Ocala, Florida:
Gentlemen-Referring to the spe-
Icial election which was recently held
in the territory about Eureka for the
creation of a special road and bridge
district, | beg to advise you that you
will at once have your clerk record in
your minutes the exact boundaries OF
that district, and give it some special
name or number, which should also
be shown in your minutes, and here
after al special taxes assessed in that
district for road and bridge purposes
shall be applied solely to the con-
struction of roads and bridges in that
district; and you are required, as soon
as practicable, to have proper plans
and specifications made for the con-
lstruction of roads and bridges in that
district, and after notice for 80 days
you will award contract for the con-
struction of such roads and bridges
to the lowest responsible bidder, pro-
vided the contract price does not eX-
coed the amount voted for.
The law under which all this is to
be done is very lengthy, and we deem
lit unnecessary to go into any further
details at the present time, until the
matters here mentioned are attended
to, but in order that you may get a
fair understanding of the duties be-
fore you, we suggest that you have
your clerk read for the information of
the board the provisions of chapter
620S of the laws of 1911, the provis-
ions of which are quite lengthy.
Under these circumstances we do
not consider it necessary to set out
all provisions in that law, which can
be more easily understood by reading
the law itself.
Awaiting your further instructions,
We are,
Yours very truly,
HOOKER & DUVAL.
