NORTH CAROLINA,
HARNETT COUNTY: RESOLUTION.
Whereas the Board of County Commissioners of Harnett County in regul
session Sept. 7th, 1925, acting upon a petition presented to said board , cane
an election to be held in School District #73 knowna as Cape Fear School Distri
on Oct. 20th, 1925, for the purpose of voting a tax of fifty cents on the One
Hundred Dollars worth of property in said district to be levied by the County
Commissioners; and whereas said election was held on Oct. 20th, 1925, and
carried by a small majority in favor of the special levy for the purpose of
constructing a school building somewhere about the center of said district.
And whereas, this board has been informed that there were irreg-
ularities in said election and it appearing that there were irregularities,
and that in view of these conditions it is likely that the Board of Commiss-
ioners would have some difficulty in securing the money upon said tax levy,
and whereas this Board of Education is not desirous of proceeding with the
building and constructing of a school house` in said district when there is
likely to be serious criticism because of the irregularities in the said
election, and whereas a number of the citizens of said school district #73
desire that said tax levy be not made on the strength of said election be`
Cause of the irregularities in the said election:
Be it resolved that the County Board of Commissioners of Harnett
County do not levy the fifty cent tax specified in said call for said election,
and that said board of commissioners epread upon their minutes in their regular
meeting on the first Monday in February a copy of this resolution together
with their action upon this resolution.
