purchase a road outfit from the
Benjamin Machinery Company.
The outfit consists oCs large
caterpillar tractor, roaSl main
tainer, drag and scarefow. It to
the saaoe outfit two or three of
the commissioners saw working
at Elisabeth City and in .Perqui
mans county last week, and is a .
young brother to the outfit which
has bean at work on the Aulan
der- Winton State highway.
Dr. Pollard of Winton made the
motion to buy, under the plan al
vanced by the company's representa
tive two weeks ago; that is, to take
the sale price of eight mules from
one township as a cash consideration
and the balance to be paid monthly
over a period of twelve months. The
outfit wpitld then become the prop
erty of the township selling the ma
les. A second to such a motion was
not forthcoming?the other members
balked, probably feeling that Winton
township would get a plum into which
they might want to bite. A discussion
pnsudB, in which the weight of opin
ion favored the purchase of the out
fit, to be used in every township, and
retain-the mules until cold weather
came and a better market could be
found for them, and aise allow time
for a thorough test of the machinery.
A second to the motion nnder
the conditions named in the preced
ing paragraph was made and after
fifteen minutes more of discussion,
a vote was taken. It .was a weak vote
and anotlfer discussion was in order.
Another vote was called for, and, on#
by one, they voted to purchase, at an
approximate cost of $8,800. A cash
payment was made and the balance
divided into payments, due in six and
twelve months, respectively.
K. H. Barrow, bridge contractor
and builder, was paid in full for a
bri%? completed in St. Johna town
ship; and was required to give bond
in accordance with the provisions of 1
a State law, overlooked by the board
whan it made the contracts. The Sto
ne y Creek bridge foundation is still 1
unacceptable by the'board and by Mr. .*
Barrow alike. The cement has not
"set", and the work will have to be
gone over again. The contractor and
the gtoaent dealers are now seeking '
to setda the question of liability, and '
it is possible litigation may result
over-the quality of the cement used. '
TU- i a ?
a. iic wwu *utcu wnai no coramis
lioner could hire extra mules for any 1
road work without the consent of the
whole board. Commissioner Snipes
voted negatively, and said as explana- '
tion that he had been working nine 1
extra mules since crops were laid by. '
He thought the other commissioners
would do well to double up during
August and September and thus get
in some good licks before the fall
weather came. 1
A mass of bills were approved by
the board, and payrolls were okehed.
It was six o'clock before the meeting
adjourned, and it had. been an inter
esting one for tbsPhbh-performer.
