Be, Held on Monday,
November 27th
A bond order authorizing the issu
ance of school bonds in the amount of
$175,000 to provide funds for the
completion of the Perquimans County
school building program was issued
here this week by th Board of County
Commissioners.
The order sets out that the Com
missioners have ascertained that it is
necessary that the county school unit
erect new school plant facilities in or
der to conform with the requirements
of the State Constitutions and that
these facilities will cost not less than
$175,000.
A tax sufficient to pay the princi
pal and interest on these bonds shall
be levied annually and collected.
In connection with the bond issue,
a statement of the County debt has
been filed with the clerk of the Board
of Commissioners and is open to pub
lic inspection. ,
The bond order shall take effect
when approved by the voters of the
county at an election as provided in
the act.
Any citizen or taxpayer may pro
test against the issuance of these
bonds at a meeting of the Board of
Commissioners to be held at the reg
ular meeting place of the Board in
the Court House at 10 A. M. on No
vember 27th.
The issuance of this bond order is
the first step toward holding the spe
cial election to determine the matter.
It has been the hope of the Board of
Education and Commissioners that ar
rangements could be completed for
holding the special election at a date
in December. However, it is under
stood today that the date for hold
ing the election will be set by the Lo
cal Government Commission and it is
unlikely that the election can be held
before the early---part of January,
1951. : ' -
