CLAY COUNTY BONDS VALID
Under Recent Decision Of Supreme
Court II can now Proceed to
Build Highways.

Clay county now can go ahead with
its IL million dollar rock road project.
The state supreme court has upheld
the contention of the county that a
bond issue to that amount was legal,
according to a telegram from the clerk
of the court to j.. S. Simrall, Liberty,
attorney. The plan is for 202 miles
of rock road connecting Liberty and
Excelsior Springs, as well as Smith
vile, Holt, Kearney and Missouri City,
with Kansas City.
The bond issue was voted by a two
thirds majority June "a, 1916. Then
obstructionists started litigation. The
county court made a test by applying
for a mandamus to compel George
Hackmann, state auditor, to register
the bond issue. Opposition was on
the ground that the bonds would bring
the county's indebtness above the con-
stitutional limit. 1t is now up to the
county court to issue The bonds
i The Commercial club at Excelsior
Springs, where the rock road move
ment originated, held a jubilation
meeting the cher night to celebrate
the supreme courts action. Speakers
said work should start Immediately, as
there had been a delay Of almost a
year already.
The Clay County Court has opened
negotiations with the federal govern
ment as to the HAYES Law, granting
federal aid to road construction to
counties that merit it.
