The Semi-weekly leader. (Brookhaven, Miss.) 1905-1941, 1921-03-23
$500, 900 IN CASH
FOR ROADS RECEIVED
Road Work to Start in July
Lincoln County People to
Get Employment.

As will be seen from the proceed
ings of the two. days Board Of Su-
pervisors printed below, every
every legal question has been adju-
dicated with reference to the $4O0.-
600 bond issue for good roads voted
half year ago. the bonds have been
sold and the county now has the ac-
tual cash to its credit in the county's
repositories.
Only formalities as to its expendi-
ture for the purposes intended are
now wanting to put all of the $780,
600 to the use intended-tha OF
building and improving the county's
thoroughfares.
This money will all practically, be
spent with Lincoln county people. II
is not the intention of the Board to
let the work out by contract to some
foreign concern, but to have the
roads built by our own people-the
farmers who have teams, and Others
who do not have them, but who will
be needed in various capacities when
the actual work begins. This plan
will be real blessing at the present
time as it will put additional curren-
cy in circulation here to the end that
there will hardly be a man or woman
in the county but who will feel or
get the benefit of this added expen-
diture Of money in all lines of en4
deavor.
Further than this, The Leader
learns that 1t is the plan of the
Board to so oversee this work that ii
will not interfere with the regular
occupations of the farmers, but will
be done at time when general farm
work is slack, thus making it "fill-
er in for them SO that they can get
the fullest benefit from the extra la
Dor that will be required. Present
plans are that the work will not
commence before some time in July,
at which time the heaviest of the
farm work will be over with.
Another meeting of the Board to
further formulate road plans will be
held at the Court House Thursday,
March 81.
