Governors Message TO Legislature OF
1910 Was Within Meaning Of
the Constitution.

Western Newspaper Union News SerV1Ue.
Frankfort.-Lewis county, the first
county to take advantage of the state
tax to aid road building, will save It's
S150,000 road bond issue, It is now DO
lieved, as Attorney General Garnett
gave an opinion that Gov. Wilson's
message to the general assembly in
1910 was within the meaning of the
Constitution proclamation, putting
into operation the 1909 constitutional
amendment.
The doubt as to the validity Of the
amendment was the snag on which the
bond issue hung, as bankers hesitated
to take the bonds. The amendment
permits a county to incur indebted
ness equal to per cent OF the total
assessed value of property within 1t.
The records of the state board OF cleo
ton commissioners show that the
amendment carried as required BY
law, and this was published by Sec
rotary of State Ben Bruner; but there
is no entry on the executive journal
to show that Gov. Wilson issued a
proclamation declaring the amend
ment in operation He did, however.
in his message to the next general as.
sembly, announce the fact, and this.
Attorney General Garnett believes. is
a proclamation sufficient to satisfy the
Constitution.
