SALISBURY IS BONDED
FOR BYPASS ROUTE

Authority for the issuance of bonds
to cover the cost of acquiring right
of-way for the proposed bypass thru
Salisbury is extended in bill which
has passed the House of Delegates
and is now in Senator o. Straughn
Lloyd's file awaiting introduction to
the Senate.
The bill, prepared by City Solicitor
A. Everett Williams, would grant au-
thority for the issuance of $4,000 in
bonds if and when they might be nee
essary.
Options already secured and esti-
mated indicate that the net cost of the
right-of-way will approximate $4,000.
Of this amount the State Roads Com
mission guarantees $4,000, leaving a
net cost to be absorbed by the city
of $4,000. There are, however, some
instances in which entire PROPERTIES
are to be purchased and the remain
ing portion sold after the right-of-
way has been set aside. Approx
mately $4,000 is needed for this in
vestment and that amount could i'm
mediately be returned to the sinking
fund as soon as salvaged, city Off

Anticipating the possible contin
gency that the State Roads Commits

continue the bypass northward from
