To determine th. vality of $20,000 aix
per eent road bonds for Franklin town-
ahip ia Macon county, ths highway
commission of Franklin township aad
the Gibson Construction Company yes
terday submitted briefs to the Supreme
Court on appeal for the adjudleatioa
of tha controversy without action. T.
J. Johnston ia attorney for plaintiff
commission and Johnston A Home are
attorneys for the defendant construe
tioa company.
Th. Legislature of 1913 created the
highway commission of Frankan town
ship and authorised the issue of boade
provided in the act after a favorable
election, provided that the amount of
the bonds eutetaading should at no
time exceed ten per eent of the value of
the taxable property ia the township.
The commission haa heretofore issued
and sold UOflOO wortho f bonds. The
validity of these bonds is not eon
tested.
But th. Legislature at its extra sea
Ion of 1913 passed a statute which pro
vidsd that unless tha bonds author
ised in the previous act should have
beea issued and placed on the market
on or before the first day of eeptem
ber, 1914, all rights and powers to
issue bonds under the said chapter
should cease aad determine. The $20,-
000 worth of bonds involved in this ap
peal had not beea issued and the cob
tract bv which the defendant obli
gated to purchase was not made until
October 21, 1915.
The plaintiff contends that it has the
power to issue bonds at any time and
ia any amount within the limit of ten
per eent of the total tax valuation and
that the purpose of the Legislature ia
providing for issuance by September
1, 1913, was that the work should be
inaugurated without delay. It was not
th. purpose, plaintiff argues, of the
act to force the entire issuance at the
time and to prohibit any further issu
ance as taxable valuation of the town
ship should increase from time to time
When the controversy was submitted
on statement of the contentions of both
tbe parties to Judge Ferguson, judg
ment was rendered sustaining the valid
ity of the bond issue and ordering the
defendant to comply with contract for
the psnxhase of them. It was upon
this that the appeal was taken.
Other Cases Argaed.
.Other cases argued yesterday ia the
court werei
W. V. Howard t. Western Union
Telegraph Company, from Swain; ar
gued by Frye and Frye for the plaintiff
and A. 8. Barnard and Albert T. Bene
dict for the defendant.

Hyatt at al., from Haywood; argued
by Mr. Hannah for th. plaintiff and
J. W. Ferguson for the defendant.
