UNION ROAD ELECTORATE OUT
County Commission Known to DO
Heavily in Debt In an Amount said
to be In Excess Of 100000.

Monroe. The entire road electorate
of Union county, except W. ~ Lem
mond Of Va-ce township, agreed to
resign enmGsse and thier joint reisg-

board of county commissioners to be
acted upon at the next meeting OF
the board to become effective Satur-

No reason was stated in the resig-

known that the commission is con-
siderably in debt, having contracted
accounts for about $4,000 in excess
of the half-million dollar bond issue
and tax money for two years past,
and there has been some difference
of opinion as to whether the county
is legally liable for this Indebtedness.
Dissatisfaction Of citizens because OF
unpaid claims, clamorings for addi-

build or maintain airy roads, and the
impending election on the question of
whether the county shall continue the
present road electorate plan or return
to county commissioners control OF
road work are suggested as probable
contributory causes OF the resigna'
