Resolution.

Members of the turnpike committee
OF the county court will not at this
time make any formal reply to the
letter of Messrs. Rainey and Looney
on the turnpike proposition in which a
virtual ultimatum is delivered to the
committee. The members declare that
in the first place they have no power
from the county court to accept either
OF the propositions made by the turn
pike owners and they do not feel that
in the uncertainty of any definite ac.
ton, they would be justified in asking
that the county court be called together
in special session at this time.
1t is practically assured that the
committee will not reach an agree
ment with Messrs. Rainey and Looney
on the basis of the last county court
proposition, that is that the pixies be
for $1,000 per mile or less,
1t is certain that this trade will not
be made and that the election ordered
by the court in the event that such a
contract could be entered into will
never be held.
Some of the members of the com.
mittee are inclined to the opinion that
the suggestion that a CON-
mittee of three competent engineers
be appointed to appraise the pixies is
the best and fairest of all the PROPOSE
lions. In order to ascertain how the
court would, when it does that, act
upon such proposition, the justices
lre being interviewed. Should It ap-
pear that majority would be favor
able to any of the propositions made
Ind particularly to this one, it is not
improbable that County Judge Nc
Knight will be asked to call a session
