WHEREAS, DR.. G.. o. Miller, Mem

dlced bill in the Virginia Assembly
changing the road laws OF this Coun-
ty, providing among other things, for
the appointment of Superintendent
of Roads, at a cost of 81, 5000 year
to the tax payers of the County, Civ
| ing said Superintendent an equal
voice with the Supervisors OF said
County in road matters, and provid-
ing for his appointment by the State
Highway Commissioner, therefore
BE IT RESOLVED, that it is the
sense of the Board of Supervisors of
said County, and, we believe. the
sense of the taxpayers of the County
that said bill is uncalled for and un-
Just that the said bill is inimical to
the best interests of the County that
il creates sinecure at the expense OF
the taxpayers without any advantages
for road betterment; that it gives the
State Highway Commissioner too
much power in local affairs, and that
it may place in nonre resident ap-
pointee responsibilities belonging to
representatives elected by the tax
payers,
/ Resolved, that copies of these reso.
trut1oas be sent to our sssesssatse. tti.ssas,
