Supervisors Hold
September Meeting
Only a few business matters were brought before the County Board of Supervisors in their monthly meeting, held Wednesday morning in the courthouse.
Five members, with only Henry Wood missing, heard and discussed sheep claims by Nish North, M. W. Brown, William Payne, and Tom Coates. All claims were upheld, on affirmative testimony by the above mentioned or by Game Warden C. Ennis Brown.
C. O. Leigh and M. H. Brady "discussed the road situation with the Board. They were asked if the rain damage and the necessary repairs would mean forgetting for the time being, the road improvement plans. Mr. Leigh replied that a request had- been made to the Richmond- office, asking for an Emergency Fund grant. As no .reply had been received, the situation i$ uncertain. The Board members praised the Highway Department for the quick competent manner with whcih they tyere making die repairs.
Mr, Leigh stated that the extent of the damage was still undetermined, but would probably fall between $40,000 and $50,000.' 1
Upon a request by Guy Burke, the Board voted to purchase an oil stove for heating purposes in the . jail. The stove will be purchased from L. V. Merrill for $50.00, if upon examination the stove proves to be a good buy.
A. H. Buckner suggested that a bounty be put on groundhogs, perhaps a 50c one. The groundhog ; situation was becoming increasingly worse, he reported. Several of i the members thought 50c a high bounty, and reminded the others ! of their financial condition. W. C. Campbell suggested that the maft!ner be taken up by the supervisors in their individual districts, and a | decision made in the October {meeting;. - ,
