mGnt to the Lawrence county citizens:
Our department has not the money to
pay the craftsmen for completing the
plans and drawing Of the Mayo Trail
unless your county pays for same In
accordance with the last order passed
by your fiscal court These plans have
to be completed by March 10 in order
to get work contracted by May ! so as
to hold the appropriation of St25,0OO
which your court passed in December
This injunction prevents your Trus-
tee, Billie Rife. from paying for said
drawing; also, from paying the estt-
mates each month in accordance with
the Fiscal Courts order.
There will be nothing done anywhere
in Lawrence county until this is either
dismissed or settled.
Your Fiscal Court has acted wisely

been in accordance with the advice of
counsel and the Attorney General and
is lawful.

years "..... .....'..
The whole State is watching you and
, it Is question for you citizens to de-
eide, as your Fiscal Court has passed
