The Mt. Sterling advocate., 1921-05-17

Judge of said court, signed by more
than one hundred and fifty freehold
ers of said county, asking that an
election be held submitting to the
voters of said county the following
proposition to-wit: "Are you in fa-
vor of issuing two hundred and fifty
thousand dollars ($25O, ,0OO) in bonds
for the purpose Of building roads
and bridges" and
Whereas, by an order entered in
the Montgomery County Court on
March FL, 1921, an election, pursu-
ant to said petition, has been called
for May 2S, 1921, for a determine
,tion by the voters Of Montgomery
County, Kentucky, of the proposition
aforesaid, and
Whereas this court is charged by
law with the expenditure of the pro-
ceeds of such bonds and the selec
tion Of the roads upon which same
may be expended, and
Whereas, it is Just, fair and right
that the voters of this county should
be informed, before casting their
votes at the election aforesaid, as to
the roads that will be built, con-
structed and constructed by this
court from the proceeds of said
bonds and the conditions under
which such proceeds will be expend-
ed, should said bond issue carry at
said election, and
Whereas, there are so many miles
of roads in this county needing such
tuilding, constructing and recon-
structing as that the proceeds from
such bond issue would not extend
to cover the roads of this county,
and
Whereas the State Of Kentucky
and the United States of America
are extending monetary aid to the
construction of roads from time to
time designated by them, and
Whereas the State Highway Com
mission of Kentucky represents to
this court that with federal aid it is
prepared to and will build the here
matter named roads and to bear
seventv-five per cent of the cost
thereof, and
Whereas the road leading from the
Clark County line, near Sewell's
Shop, to Mt. Sterling, KY, and com
monty known as the Mt. Sterling and
Winchester pike; and that road lead
ing from Mt. Sterling, KY, to the
Bath county line and commonly
known as the Mt. Sterling and Ow-
ingsville pike are both parts of the
United States federal aid road
project known as the Midland Trail,
and also are parts Of what is called
and known as Project No. AZ, Of the
Primary System of Highways for
the State of Kentucky, and
Whereas that road leading from
Mt. Sterling, KY, through Camargo
and Jeffersonville to the Menefee
county line and commonly known as
the Camargo pike and state dirt
road is a part of the United States
federal aid road rurning from Mt.
Sterling, KY, to Paintsville, KY, and
is also a part of what is known as
Project No. 32 of the Primary Sys-
tenn of Highways of the State of
Kentucky, and
Whereas the three roads afore-
said have already been designated
for such state and federal aid, and
Whereas, with such state and fed
eral aid on said named roads, and
on any other roads that may here
matter be designated as state and
federal aid roads, or either, this
court is of the opinion that fair
system of roads can be built in this
county,
Now, be it resolved by this court
that this court will, from the pro-
ceeds of the bonds aforesaid, if same
be voted at the election aforesaid,
expend such portions of same as
may be required on said three named
roads in conjunction with state or
federal or private aid, or all, and on
such other roads as may from time
to time be the beneficiaries of such
state or federal or private aid, or all,
and not otherwise, but II is distinctly
reserved, excepted and provided that
under no condition or circumstance
shall the proceeds, or any part of
same, of the bonds aforesaid If
voted, be used otherwise than to pay
for not exceeding twenty five per
cent of the total cost of such build
