Mr. Jones Did Not Like Re
quest for Payment for
Damaged Roads
A special meeting of the Board of j
County Commissioners was held yes- (
terday afternoein which time Chair-,
man McGirt called attention to to the '
damage being done to the Wrights-
ville road by the hauling of heavy I
loads by the employees of Mr. Pern-1
broke Jones, v.-ho owns a large tract,
of land on the road. i
A letter from Mr. McGirt to Mr.
Jones was read, in which it was ask-,
ed that the damage be paid for and
that the cause of the sr.nie be re-J
moved. A letter from Mr. Jones to j
his superintendent was also read, in
which Mr. Jones oJered that all'
work on his place, which had to do:
with traffic ever the road complain-;
ed of, be stopped, mentioning the j
fact that $100 a day which has been j
put into circulation, would now cease.
Chairman McGlrt's attitude was ap
proved by the commissioners, after
some discussion. '
Councilman McCaig appeared be-!
fore the bonrd and asked the loan
of the county truck for the hauling j
of wood, and the mater was left to ;
Chairman McGirt and Superintendent j
Burnett. The board also agred to sell j
the road roller for $1,200 and purchase
an improved roller, which would give
better "service.
The election of Dr. R. B. Slocum as
health officer was announced to the
board.
Mr. J. B. Hewlet was re-elected fish
inspector for the ensuing year. Coun
ty Auditor Orrell and County Attor
ney Bellamy were instructed to per
fect nlans for the better heating of
the Court House.
The road committee will look into
the advisisability of cutting down ex
penses by reducing the number of
camps, though no furtiier action was
taken by the boarfi on this point.
