BOARD
EXPLAIN SITUATION
County Commissioner Explain Why
. Money Was Spent , to
Defeat Bill.
The allowance and payment out of
pubic funds of the legal expenses in
curred in opposing certain proposals
of local legislation at the recent ses
sion of the General Assembly is
being assailed in' certain quarters as
an unauthorized and wrongful act on
the part of the undersigned Board of
County Commissioners; and this up
on no less an authority than the opin
ion to that effect openly avowed by
Hon. James J. Britt, of counsel for
A. E, -Hudgins in - the pending
controversy over the accounts and
settlements of said Hudgins as Tax
Colector and Treasurer of Hender
son County.
Hitherto it has been the settled
policy of this Board and of -its legal
advisers to pass without notice all
and singular the multitude of mis
leading reports and injurious innuen
does with which an over-zealous
propaganda has bombarded public
opinion, to the studied prejudice of
our every endeavor to secure a cor
rect and orderly accounting for
public funds and something like busi
ness efficiency in the administration
of the public affairs of Henderson
County. We have been content to
bide our time, so that ultimately mis
representation might be answered by
achieved results. But such conside
rations hardly suffice when the legal
ity of our official acts is publicly
questioned by a lawyer and publicist
of the rank of Mr. Britt, notwith
standing his position as the retained
counsel of Mr. Hudgins necessarily
impresses his opinion with an aspect
of hostile partisanship. Whatever
our confidence in the legality and
propriety of our conduct, we recog
nlae the opinion of Mr. Britt as im
posing upon us an inescapable obli
gation forthwith to give the fullest
publicity to all the facts, to the end
that the action thus impugned may
be intelligently and conscientiously
judged by the people whose servants
we are.
There can be no correct under
standing of the questions involved
without a statement of the antece
dent facts which led up to the legis
lative proposals which the Board of
Commissioners successfully opposed.
As bearing upon the merits of the
proposed road bill, which is herein -
after set out in full, we state the ma-
terial facts, as follows:
A few months after it was induct
ed into office, this Board, after much
urging, made sale at par to local
banks of $590,000.00 in road bonds,
and for reasons which the public
very well understands, the proceeds
of that sale were carried on deposit
until needed, in equal amounts,
without interest, in the purchasing
banks, -namely, the First Bank and
Trust Co. and the Citizens National
Bank. This sale was made and the
transaction carried through upon the
faith of existing laws, towit: (1)
the law which gave to the popularly
elected Board of Commissioners full
control of the money realized by the
sale of said bonds and which provid
ed that it could only be paid out up
on the orders of said Board, and (2)
the law which gave all matters of the
construction and improvement of the
public roads of the county into the
control and management of a board
of three road trustees, namely, the
chairman of the board of county
commissioners, as an ex officio mem
ber, and two others to be appointed!
Dy saia Doara; so tnat iuu control
both of the bond money and of the
results to be achieved by its expendi
ture was lodged in the local popular
ly elected government of Henderson
County.
While approximately half a mil
lion dollars of this bond money was
still held on deposit without interest
in the banks named, the President of
the First Bank ahd Trust Co., in his
capacity as the representative of
Henderson County in the State Leg
islature, introduced in the House of
Representatives ,a bill which was un
derstood to have the full support and
approval of the Vice President of
said bank, in his capacity as the
Senator from said county, which bill
is in words and figures following,
that is to say: H. B. 105 Mr. Clarke.
A Bar 'Entitled "An Act to Amend
Henderson County Road Laws."'
The General r Assembly of , North
' Carolina do Enact:
That whereas since the enactment
of Chapter 217 of the Public . Local
V Laws of 1919,, known as the Hender-
- son County Road Law, the State has
f?A provided for . State-wide . road im-
i provement and construction ' under
' the State Highway Commission, and
whereas it is essential that the roads
and highways: of Henderson County
D6 so constructed aito meet with the
approval find indorsement of , the
. State Highway Commission, to the
end that the count of Henderson
v may demand and obtain all the bene
i fits 'hat can accrue to said county
- through 'co-operation vfith, the' State
c.r Highway Commission it n - v 5'.
Npw, therefore be: ft nactedi t
' ,. -nublic local lawi of 19-19 'be stricken
out and the following substituted
in place thereof, vre: , . . -C?r ;w
.That to make more effectual the
operation; of this Statute and pro-
Ton te cw-pr?ii0n of the. County
ed a board1 of five trustees consist
ing of J. 0. Bell, C E. Brooks, Frank
Staton, F, S. Wetmur and Harry M.
Roberts, whose term of office shall
commence by the meeting and organ
ization of' said board immediately af
ter the ratification of this Act. And
their term of office shall expire on
the 1st day of March, 1925, with the
right in said board to fill by appoint
ment any and all vacancies that may
occur by resignation, removal or
other, cause, and at the termination
of the office of any member or mem
bers of said board as prescribed
above, said office or offices shall be
filled by the Legislature from parties
of the same pdlitical affiliations. This
boakl shall be known as the Board
of County Road Trustees of Hender
son County. Under this name, they
are hereby constituted a body corpo
rate with all the rights of corpora
tions to sue and be sued and to act
in general for the best interest of all
the public highways and roads in
Henderson County, and shall have
ultimate control and supervision of
all the other road officers' in said
County. The said board shall hold
regular monthly meetings at the
Court House in Henderson County
on days to be fixed by said board,
and at and on such other times and.
places as the interest of the public
shall by them be deemed necessary.
Section 2. That Section 26 of said
Chapter shall be amended by strik
ing out in Line 16, the words "iron
bridge across French Broad River
at Horse Shoe ", and insert in lieu
thereof "the Transylvania County
line at Blntyre."
Section 3. Amend Section 28 of
said. Chapter by striking out in Line
6 the word "before", and insert in
lieu thereof the words "which shall
be."
Section 4. Amend Section 29 of
said Chapter by inserting between
the word "power" and the word "if"
in Line 9 of said Section the words
"and are required."
Section 5. This Act shall be in
effect from and after its ratification.
Section 6. All laws and clauses of
laws in conflict with this act are
hereby. repealed. r
As to. the personnel of the board of
road trustees proposed to be created
and appointed by said bill, it will be
noted that J. 0. Bell is a director
of the First Bank and Trust Co.,
1 that Mr. Frank Staton is a brother
i of a director who is also vice-oresi-
aeni oi me same DanK, mac t .
S. Wetmur also is a director of said
First Bank and Trust Co., and that
C. E. Brooks is .a director, and
active vice-president of the Citizens
National Bank, leaving only one
non-bank member. Harry M.
Roberts. And it will be noted fur
ther that said board was authorized
itself to fill such vacancies as might
occur in its own body, and that at
the expiration, of the terms of office
of the members of said board their
successors should "be appointed by
the Legislature. It will thus be seen
that the most careful provision was
made to set aside and perpetually
disallow any manner of control of
said half-million dollar road fund or
of the geneal road affairs of Hen
derson County by the voters or by
the locally elected officers of suid
county.
In' connection with the road bill
above set out, Bank-President-and-Representative
Clarke introduced
another bill which likewise was un
derstood to have the full support and
approval of Bank-Vice-President-and
Senator Oates, which latter bill is in
words and "figures following, that is
to say:
"H. B. 106 by Mr. Clarke.

BLUE RIDGE SCHOOL FOR BOYS
At a meeting of the football squad
some days ago, Fred Byers, star half
back on the team the past fall, was
elected captain of the team that will
represent Blue Ridge on the gridiron
next season. At this angle, the pros
pects for a winning football team
next fall appear bright, as five or six
letter men and a majority of scrub

probability light spring practice will
be held for the purpose of acquaint
ing some of the new material with
the rudiments of the game.
Under the supervision of Messrs.

societies are doing splendid work.
Unusual interest on the part of the

a meeting of the junior class was
caiie(i Tuesday afternoon by the
president, Miss Edna Byers, for the
purpose of completing the plans for
the junior-senior reception which will
be given on the evening of February
the 10th. It was decided that this
shall be a masquerade affair, and as
it is one of the most important social
