SEEKING TO PREVENT
A VOTE ON BOND ISSUE
By t. w. ADAMS

gardless Of the ruling at that time,
the ease will likely then go before a
judge of the Court of Appeals.
All this can be done in a compara-
lively short time, and the Advocate
sees no reason for qualifying in any
way its promise to the people of
Montgomery that they shall have an
opportunity to vote on this question
Should the courts rule in effect
that the bonds issued and sold by
other counties in pursuance of the
same procedure as that now claimed
to be Illegal in Montgomery county
are not worth the paper they are
written on, it would of course create
some considerable agitation among
the holders of such bonds.
That, however, is quite different
thing than preventing citizens of this
county taking vote on whether or
not they shall authorize bond issue
for the purpose of enabling the Fiscal
Court to enter into negotiations with
the new State Highway Commission
looking to early construction of the
thirty one miles. of the State Primary
Road System in Montmogerv, in ac-
cor,iance with the plain invitation and
provisions of Section IL of the New
Kentucky Road Law, through the loan
of the proceeds of the bond. issue to
the State
1t is, unfortunately true, that this
proceeding places an additional bur-
den on the taxpayers, inasmuch as
the legal expenses in defending the
action must be borne by the county.
That, however, is of no great mo-
ment, as the amount cannot be very
large. The question has heen asked,
nevertheless, as to whether it is not
an unnecessary expense, inasmuch as
in any event the people will still have
recourse to the inalienable right of
petition and that, therefore, it will
be impossible to prevent the matter
coming to q vote.

Locals Defeat Versailles

Before a large crowd at the Fair
Grounds park Sunday afternoon the
Mt. Sterling Baseball Club defeated
the strong team from Versailles by
the score of 6 to 5. The game was
interesting from the start, although
the support given both pitchers was
not as good as it should have been.
The feature of the game was a one
handed stop made by Skidmore in the
second inning. Wells, for the locals,
pitched a splendid game and seems
to have the making of good pitcher.
Dunavent caught his usual good game
and kept the runners hugging the
bases. With little practice the To-
cal team should develop into a very
fast aggregation. A new grandstand
will be built at the park in the near
future and the public will have the
opportunity of seeing some real base
ball this summer.

For Baseball Fans

M. c. H. S. News

Last Friday afternoon on the home
diamond the baseball team Of the
City High School defeated the Clark
County High School nine by a score
of 6 to 2. No scores were made until
the fourth inning. During the next
two innings the visitors succeeded in
making two points, but that ended
their success, and Mt. Sterling be-
gan to pile up her score.
Rain caused the game with Cynthi-
ana TO be called off, but another
game has been scheduled for Friday
afternoon. This is the teams worst
enemy thus far, so le.'s help win the
game by being there to yell.
Floyd Stamper was hurt in LAST
weeks game, but hopes to be able to
play in the game against Cynthana.
Miss Virginia Duff, who has been
quite ill, is not yet able to return
