COUNTY ROAD '.
| BONDS VALID
Judge Edward Mayes and Attorney
General Ross A. Collins Rem
der Opinions.

Judge Edward Mayes, Of jackson,
Ind Attorney Ross A. Collins, in re-
sponse to request from Mesrs. Gard
her, McBee & Gardner, attorneys for
the Board Of Supervisors Of LeAore
bounty, have rendered opinions in re-
Egard to the issuance by Leflore county
Eof good roads bonds to the amount of
100000. Both opinions are to. the
effect that Lefore county can issue
the bonds without fear as to their
validity. r .
That the matter in question was as
| to whether the provisions of Chapter
424, authorizing the Board of Super
visors Of Leflore county to issue bonds
to an amount not exceeding 100000
for the improvement Of the public
roads, violates the Mississippi Consti-
tuition, and particularly violates Sec
tion 80, paragraph One, by which the
Legislature is forbidden to pass local,
private or special laws,laying out, op-
ening, altering and working roads and
highways.
Judge Mayes in his opinion says:
"The Statute in question does not vio-
late paragraph one, of section 90.
In other words, in my opinion, the law
is perfectly valid, and the bonds is
sued Hereunder will be binding on the
county, and could be collected by law
if it should ever be necessary to take
any legal action to collect it."
After fully giving his reasons for
his opinion Judge Mayes closes with
the following summing up Of the
question: "In short, l think the sta
tute is constitutional for two reasons:
First, it is not local or special sta
tute, within the meaning Of the Con-
stitution; and, secondly, it is not sta
tute which provides for the laying
out or opening Of roads, within the
meaning Of the Constitution" I
Collins Opinion.
Attorney General Collins has also
given favorable opinion to Lelore
county in the matter in question. Mr..
Collins, after quoting the letter from
Messrs. Gardner, McBee & Gardner,
attorneys for the Board Of Supervis-
ors, goes carefully into the, act in
question, stating what it calls for,
etc., and then defines what is called
for in Section 90, paragraph one, of
the Constitution of Mississippi, and
compares the two, showing conclusive-
ly that the act authorizing this coun-
ty to issue the road bonds does not
conflict with that section Of the Con
stitution. ,S
Geueral Collins, in his opinion says:
"As I view the matter, the particular
act under review does not attempt to
pass local or private law as to the
laying oyt, opening, altering Or work:
ing Of the roads or highways Of the
county, but attempts to confer upon
Z the Board the power to raise money,
