Bond Issue Finally
Is Approved by
County Board

Advertisement Of $4,000
bond issue with which to finance
Pasquotank County's share of the
cost of the proposed county agri-
culture building will be started
this week, there having been no
protests registered before the
board of county commissioners
yesterday.
Bond attorneys ruled Lass
month that not until taxpayers of
the county had been given notice
and an opportunity to protest
would approval of the bond issue
be valid. The hearing was SCI for
yesterday, and no one appeared
to protest the bond issue, so the
board adopted a resolution ap-
proving the bonds. The same
resolution had been adpoted pre-
viously but had been declared in
valid.
The bonds will be retired at the
rate of $4,000 year, beginning
in 1889 and continuing 'Shru 1948.
Among other matters, the coun-
ty commissioners yesterday di-
rected Sheriff Charles Carmine to

The case is that against Leslie

is charged with speeding, reck-
less driving and driving while
under the influence of liquor.
Watson was arrested on Sunday
night, July II, after the ambu-
lance he was driving had crashed
into several automobiles parked
in front of the Calvary Baptist
church on Riverside Avenue.
Trial of the case was continued
by Trial Justice w. C. Morse, Jr.,
because the accident occurred al
most in his backyard and he was
on the scene almost Immediately
after it happened and several
minutes before the police arrived.
What I personally know about
the case and the opinion I have
formed would make it difficult for
me to sit as judge and jury on
the case" said Judge Morse.
