Definite Plans

Of Levy Revenue
The most discussed question in
Haywood today is the pending
school bond expansion program.
Without a doubt, the most dis
cussed phase of the election is the
program itself. The average per
son agrees to the need, and the
ability of Haywood county to pay
for the proposed improvements.
The big question being raised by
many Is whether the proposed pro
gram will be carried out in detail
as outlined.
A good question and one which
shows people are thinking of the
present and future., A question
that, needs the right answer.
For the answer, The Mountaineer
went to J. R. Morgan,attorney, who
is assisting in drafting the many
many papers and legal documents
necessary for the imposed bond
election. Mr. Morgan has assisted
in the legal work of similar bond
issues here for many years.
Mr. Morgan said; :"The joint
resolution, as passed by the County
Board of Education, and County
Commissioners, sot out In detail
what every school In "4he county
shall receive from the bond money
This resolution is part of the record
which was made for calling the
bond election. It was upon this
resolution, and the specifically
stipulated amounts for each school
that the election was called, and
has begn so reviewed by the bond
attorneys in New York.
"With Hie proposals, set up le
gaily In the record as they are, it
is my opinion that the bond money
would have to be spent in the
amounts as specified for each pro
ject .- -

in my mind that there is no desire,
by them, to make any changes from
the present proposals.
"I am confident that each school
will receive that amount which has
been set aside for the improve

In addition to the specific
amounts for each school, there is
