Bullock, ex-Register of Deeds, for Alleged Extra Services Reasons for Refusing How the Cost to the County Has In creasedBoard Goes Out of Office. Robeson county's new road law, which places the road ma chinery in the hands of thecoun ty commissioners, township com mittees to be appointed by them on the recommendation of the members of the Legislature from the county, goes into effect to day, and yesterday the old board of road supervisors held its last meeting and went out of office All the members of the board A. E. White, chairman, W. A. Graham and H. C. MacNair were present. The usual routine business of auditing bills, etc., will be given in Monday s paper. ine supervisors wno nave impor tant work on hand were instruct ed to continue the work on hand until work is begun under the new system. Until the new plan is put in motion Robeson will have no organized road work. A matter of special importance xnac came Deiore the board was the bill of D. W. Bullock, ex-reg ister of deeds, for extra enm. -pensation for making out the ts& dooks ior the year 1907. Th bill was presented through Messrs. Mclntyre, Lawrence & Proctor, Mr. Bullock's attorneys ior $zvi.6, ar.a the board refus ed to pay. It will be recalled that at the recent session of the Legislature a bin was passed, on the recom mendation, it is understood, the board of county commission ers, for the relief of D. W. Bui lock, and another for the relie of A. Nash, also an ex-register oi deeds. The latter bill direct ed the treasurer of t.h pnnntu pay Mr. Nash for making out the tax list last year at the rate two cents a name, thus taking ine matter out ot the hands o the road board. The other ac J? A1.il m - directed tne road board to pav air. cuuock at the same rate and this is the bill the board . fused to pay, giving the follow mg reasons for refusing: ' It appears that the ountv commissioners paid to Mr. Bul lock for making out the tax lists ior ine year iyo7 the sum 850.15, in accordance with the machinery act then force in this and other counties and paid to A. Nash the sum $1230.30 for similar services 1908. The road board informed Messrs. Bullock and Nash that in its opinion they had been paid au mat tne law then in force al lowed for the services performed and that they had been amply paid. Therefore the board re fused to pay both claims and sug gested to Messrs. Bullock and Nash that if they deemed the ruling improper a suit could be brought to settle the validity of the claims. This they refused to do, but procured the enactment the special acts mentinnprl one directing the treasur ,houtthe consent of the I; "to pay to Nash the .10 in addition to the ady paid him for the making a total of .act for the relief sets the road board ksum of $297.48 in $850.15 already the same work.
