Charlotte County to Vote on Proposed
100000 Bond Issue for Road No. 5
PRELIMINARY DETAILS
NOW Being arranged
Tired of Delays, Commissioners Will
Call Election for Bonds 10
Build Road No. Five

Just as soon as they can complete
the necessary preliminary details,
the Board OF County Commissioners
will call an election TO determine if
the people OF Charlotte county wish
to issue bonds in the amount of
100000 for the purpose of building
this county's portion of State Road
Number Five. This was decided at
the regular December session of the
board early this week, q preliminary
resolution, declaring this to be the
intention of the commissioners, being
passed by unanimous vote of the full
board. This resolution must be pub
liGhed for four consecutive weeks be-
fore the holding of the election, and
it would have appeared in this issue
of the Herald we're it not for the
fact that the commissioners and at
torney are proceeding with extreme
care so that there will be no possi
bility of having to hold another cleo
ton on account OF some trivial tech
nicality.
II is the plan Of the commissioners,
as it is understood by the writer, to
proceed with the necessary legal pre-
liminaries and in the meantime Sc
cure plans and specifications upon
which estimates for roads of several
widths may be based and have this
information available in time to give
it to the voters before the election
is held, and in order to do this, it
appears, it will be necessary for the
county to engage the services of a
competent road engineer. They plan
to proceed, as near as possible, in
accordance with the instructions of
Chief Engineer Cooke of the Road
Department, so that the county will
receive full credit from the depart
nent for whatever work the county
does in accordance with state specif-
cations.
At the meeting Tuesday, before
the preliminary resolution was pass
ed, Mr.. Whitten spoke at length in
favor of limiting the proposed bond
issue to S1S0,000, saying that, in his
judgement, that amount would be
ample to build the road in accor-
dance with the directions of Mr.
Cooke. The new commissioners, who
will soon take their seats, were in
vited to express their views, and both |
Mr.. Swinney and Mr.. Smith respond |
ed by advocating an issue of $780, |
600, they taking the view that it |
would be better 10 have a little too |
much money than be little short. |
and ii was pointed out that if |
this amount should be more than
needed to build the road, the sur
plus could be used in retiring some
of the bonds Immediately.
Col. Hancock, the boards attorney,
read the resolution which he had
been instructed to prepare to notify
the people of the proposed action of
the commissioners. Mr.. Written
moved to amend it by striking out
$200, 900 and inserting $4,000.
While his motion was not seconded,
it caused renewal Of the discussion
which continued for about an hour,
and finally ended by the resolution
being adopted by unanimous vote of
the board as read. The attorney was
instructed to give the resolution
careful study to make sure of its be-
ing iIf strict legal form, and report TO
Il meeting of the board tomorrow
Saturday morning.
