HAWKINS co.
BONDS SOLD
County Intends to Have the
Best Pike Highway System
in State

AT the meeting in Rogersville Sat
urday of the pike road commission
ers for Hawkins county, the first is
sue of the county bonds of $250,OO0
was sold to the Harris Trust and
Savings company of Chicago.
The bonds were sold at par with a
premium of $500. The blank bonds
preliminary investigation, ETC., are at
the expense of the buyer.
The bonds are to be dated January
1st, 1916, and are to be i'll blocks of
$4,000 to become due in five years,
and $4,000 every year thereafter un-
til paid.
An additional $4,000 is to be issued
by the county court, in case the
$3.50, 900 is insufficient.
The bonds were voted in an cleo
tion held July l, 1915, the bonds car
rying by majority of 545, eleven
precincts voting for the measure and
five against it.
In August, 1907, Hawkins county
voted 100000 bond issue and with
this one hundred miles of graded road
twenty miles of which was macada-
mized, was done, and two bridges
were built, one at Austin's Mills and
the other at McPheeter's Bend.
The county court afterwards au-
thorized an expenditure of $4,000 for
bridge to be built at Kingsport,
over the North Fork of the Holston
river. to connect with Sullivan coun-
ty, that county to pay the other
$4,000.
Later the county court voted for a
bridge at Buren,, on the V. & S. W.,
railway. This bridge, which is un-
usually long, has just been completed
at cost of $4,000 and thrown open
to the public.
With this additional expenditure of
next year the roads of Hawkins coun-
ty will be the equal of any in this
section of the country.
