DUNLAP TO TEST
LEGALITY OF LAW
Amendment Governing Bond
Issues Still Questioned;
Suit is Friendly.

Il. Dunlap has filed suit against the
board of county commissioners in or.
der to bring up the matter of the re-
cent road bond issue in Carter county
before the supreme court Of the state
to test the legality of a recent act OF
the legislature in amending the statute
under which county bonds have been
voted in the past.
The action is a friendly suit asked
for by bond buyers before final nego-
tiations in the bond sale were FIN.
ished. The bond buyers state that they
do not question the legality OF the act,
and are satisfied that under it they
would be eperfectly safe in the trans
action, but asked that the supreme
court settle the matter once and for
all as there are several other counties
in the state wherc bonds have been
voted that are in the same condition
! that faces Carter county today
The. question arose over the legality
of issuing a six per cent bond instead
OF five per cent bonds that have been
the rCle throughout the state.
