DON'f lIKE THE Bill Citizens of Yadkin Township Think Highway Commis sioners Will Be Elected For Life Terms—An Ex planation. King Route 2. Oct. 25. Editors Reporter: We notice in a recent issue of your paper that the act of the last Legislature in regard to building roads in Yadkin township is print ed. One section of the act states that three permanent high way commissioners shall be elec ted and as the length of the term of office is not stated in the act, some of our people who oppose the bond issue are arguing that these highway commissioners will hold the office for a life time. Please explain for the benefit of the people of Yadkin township how this is, as we want the facts. Yours truly, A VOTER. The law referred to above which was printed in a recent issue of this paper was only an amend ment to an act passed at the 1913 session of the Legislature to allow the various townships of Stokes county to vote bonds for roads. As will be seen by refering to the notice of the call of the elec- tion for Yadkin township, which appears elsewhere in this paper, the election for that township jwill be held under Chapter 41 Public Local Laws of 1913, and Chapter 201 Public Local Laws of 1915, and will be subject to the provis'ons of both acts. While the amendment of 1915 says nothing about the length of term of the highway commissioners, the original act of 1913 says that the highway commissioners shall be elected every two years. The original act under which the j Yadkin township election will be ! held may be seen in the public; local laws of 1913, while the' amendment to this law will be found in the acts of 1915.
