i eral and agricultural resources, and
[last but not least, our magnificent in
crease in the manufacturing indus
tries, demand better roads.
Resolved further, that we adopt the
Alternate Road Law system and rec-
I ommend that the Board of Commiss-
lioners of Roads and Revenues for the
I county of Hall take proper steps to
put said system in operation to take
I effect from and after July 1st. next.
We further recommend that the
commissioners of roads and revenues
require each person subject to road
duty to work five days or pay. ($2.50)
two dollars and fifty cents commuta-
Ition tax.
We further recommend that Kow-
[ard- Thompson be paid twenty five
($25.00) dollars for conducting exami
nations before coroners jury and in-
Iquest over the body of Mrs. Chris-
Jtina Blake.
We further recommend that these
[minutes should be published in the
I Cracker and Eagle,

[Solicitor Charters our thanks for cour-
Itesils shown us, also to our efficient

Some citizens are kicking about the
adoption of the road law and hold that
the grand jury’s action was illegal in
that the recommendation was made at
a special term of court called to try
special criminal cases. They declare
the matter will he contested and that
they will have the supreme court to
pass on the question of the legality of
the grand jury’s action.
