BELL COUNTY BONDS
ARE HELD VALID,

Bell county's $4,000 bond Is
sue to be spent in improving her
highways under the State aid
plan, was declared To be valid
by the Court of Appeals in an
opinion by Judge Turner Friday
affirming the Bell Circuit Court
in the ease of NJ. +. Walsh a.
gainst County Judge T. j. Asher.
The bonds were voted February
IL. The validity of the election
was attacked ON the grounds
that the bonds were voted on a
day other than the regular elec-
tion day; that the election was
called the same day the petition
was filed; that the electors We're
not given an opportunity by the
ballot TO pass upon the rate Of
interest the bonds are TO bear or
the length of time they are 10
run; and that the submission pro
vides that the bonds shall be ex-
empt from taxation.
The court said authority 10 fix
the time of the election sixty
days after the call is issued was
delegated by the General Assem-
bly, to the county court that the
law, governing the election, fixes
the rate of interest at five per
cent and the time within which
the bonds are TO run is left TO
the discretion of the court with
the restriction that they are to
be for not less than five nor more
than thirty years. An attempt TO
made the bonds exempt from taxa-
tion does not affect their valid
ity.
