investigation and to get ait tb^ cor
net amount so same can be settled.
Mr. E. B. Vaughan is given the au
thority to have the Murfreeeboro br
idge continued until. further notice
from the board and at such salary
as he sees fit and proper.
Whereas the old Board of Road Su
pervisors of Murfreesboro Township
incurred an indebtedness of someth
ing like $11000 and has to its credit
something like $3,000 leaving a bal
ance of approximately $8,000, and the
Board being of the opinion that the
amount represented by this indebt
edness was judiciosuly expended on
the roads of that township, and that
the improvements on said roaids are
reasonably worth that amount to the
county as a whole; and whereas un
der the present law it is required that
an amount equal to seventy five plr
cent of the taxes collected for roads
in the various townships of the coun
ty, be. expended within the bounda
ries of the respective townhsipe and
whereas such requirement is a hin
drance to the proper performance of
the duties, of this board as a coun
ty unit organisation now, therefore
be it resolved that this board reoom
mend to and request the legislature
of North Carolina to be assembled in
Special Session in December next
and especially to the representative
and Senator from this county, to am
end the existing road law, that the
above mentioned debt of Murfreesbo
W?* *nw?nkm in ihft Rlim of $8,000 be I
paid and discharged from the proce
eds of the sa le of road bonds of the
county of Hartford authorised at an
election held oh the 17th of August,
1921, and it is farther resolved and re
commended by the said board that the
requirement of the expenditure of 76
per cent of the taxes of each'tqwnship
as set out, be repealed. )

Eight Good Reasons.
You will find at least eight good reasons why
you can well afford to put your surplus money
into a "Certificate of Deposit."
1. It is always safe.
2. You can use it as a security for a loan.
3. You can quickly turn it into cash again.
4* You can cash it any where just like a check.
5. It is the best way to keep your money all in
one lump sum.
6. You can buy a "C. of D." for any amount,
no matter how large or small.
7. You can keep a part of your money in this
T ' -dt
form, to be used only in case of special op
portunity or sudden need.
8. Your profit (interest) starts the very hour
the Certificate is issued to you and continu
, es until you call for yotqr money again.
THINK IT OVER.
