Clerk to Board of Commissioners
The Board recessed to reconvene on Tuesday Feb 19, 1946 at 10y00 A M
February 19, 1946
At the expiration of the recess taken February 11 , 1946 the Board of Tarnettion
County Commissioners met at the Courthouse at 10 o'clock A M Tuesday February 19,
1946.
Present: Chairman J B Ennis, and Commissioners L R Pate, A A Cameron, P'erdd
Jackson and R L Pate. -
The members discussed informally information and facts which might relate to a
bond issue informally proposed by the County Board of Education which proposal they had
requested to be in written form for further consideration.
It was the consensus of opinion of the Members of the Board that the most press
ing and urgent needs.of the County school system might be met by ways and means other
than issuing bonds; that interest rates would remain low for some years, and that
building costs prevailing might preclude getting anything like value for an7
considerable fund which might be spent. Therefore, they deferred any action on the
suggdsted proposal that an election be called for the purpose of ascertaining the
wishes of the people with respect to any issue of bonds, but will hear the Members
of the County "oard of Education at the regular meeting March 4, 1946.
The following road petitions were approved and ordered forwarded bo the State
"ighway and Public Workd Commission:
(1) To improve by asphalt surfacing or ell and gravel that road in Upper
Little Fiver Township leading from Highway ;x}421, at D P Cameron's old Service Station
