GREATER TOWN OF TAZEWELL
MIR. HARMAN'S PROPOSITION.

Nh. Editor
Complying with your demand for
definite roposition-somethi
tangible" l submit the following:
That the Tazewell High Scno.
authorities put reasonable price on
the property, provided more suit
able location can be secured. Whe,,
this price is made l will take up the
matter with men of financial abilit,
whose attention has already .,s.,.
called to this definite proposil,u.i,
and make an effort to transmute
shot air" into new High ocnuo,
building and hotel.
Even the ever present knockc,
wants the school house removed to /.
better location, with more and bet
ter ground and in safer place. At
ter few of our children arc killed
by being run over by tourist aur,
mobiles as they come whizzing thru
the town on the new State Highway
all of us will get busy and work to
have the school relocated in q safe,
place. Just as soon as it is known
that the High School building is to
be moved and enlarged, and that an
up-to-date hotel is to be built, Mr..
Leslie's demand for 80 or 40 houses;
will be increased to q hundred OF
more. The school authorities should
act promptly, as another site may &c
selected for the hotel, in which event
the chance to sell the High School
property to the best advantage may
be lost. j. N. HARTMAN.

FRIDAY. MARCH "a, 1922.
THE VIRGINIA LEGISLATURE.

The Legislature just closed Is ~
be commended, according to opinion.
expressed, for what it did not do
more than for what it did do. The
bond issue for roads was killed, not
withstanding the advocacy of the
measure by Governor Trinkle. The
members of the Legislature, most OF
them, and the Governor rs well.
were elected on platform mfavor-
able to bond issue at this tims.
"Twelve million dollars wont built
much roads any way" said one
speaker, Eat the cost heretofore paid
per mile of road" and also tina,
many sections would be denied the
benefits of the bond issue, and that
othr bond issues would necessarily
follow-thesc and other cons,..A
tions created an opposition that could
not DO overcome.
1t is generally expressed opinion:
that bond issue will come later, but
the average voter will have to be
shown chow it is possible to ISSUE
bonds, provide sinking fund unt
pay interest OH the bonds, withou.
getting the money from somewhere
to meet the payments. However,
the bond issue is not dead for gooi
and all, but will come up again.
A bill was passed submitting to
the voters the question of calling an
other constitutional convention. The
question will be before the voters for
decision next Fall, at which time
members of Congress and Uniee,)
States Senator, are to be elected
and full vote may be expecteu.
