Board Chairman
Adds Facts On
Sewage Question

A second public meeting to
provide information on the ref
erendum on the proposed sewer
age system will be held at the
Amelia Court House on March
20. This is the evening before
the day of the referendum, when
Amelia voters will decide Wheth-
er or not they wish to establish
a central sewerage system.
Actually the Amelia voters
will be confronted with the fol-
lowing question: Shall the Board
of Supervisors of Amelia County
issue bonds of Amelia Court
House Sanitary District of such
principal amount not exceeding
S30G 900 as may be determined
by the Board of Supervisors to
raise fund necessary to finance
the construction of a sewerage
system serving said Sanitary

ment and disposal of sewage.

ticle 2 of Chapter 2 of Title Il of
the Code of Virginia 1850, such

undertaking from which said
Sanitary District may derive
revenue?
The voters will be required to
mark their ballots for or against
the bond issue.
Franklin B. Jones. chairman
of the board of supervisors, is
sued a statement in a letter this
week in regard to the referen-
dun. His letter statement reads
as follows:
Numerous questions are like

lions of the Board of Supervisors
of Amelia County. 1t is hoped
that this letter will clear up some
of the questions which will arise.
