SPOTS FORGED CHECK "Aftmm k ="m~mm JAOKSON HIGHWAY AGAIN IN LIMELIGHT SPECIAL SESSION CALLED TO IN VESTIGATE ACTION OF ROAD SUPERVISORS. DONATION FROM THE STATE Opinion is That Parish Jury Acted Upon Erroneous Presumption in Attempting To Set Aside the Sum of $100,000. Jonesboro, La. - The grand jury called in special session here primar ily for investigating the action of the board of supervisors of roa'd coustruc tion for Jackson parish, filed its final report, returning four true bills in other matters and commendign the members of the board of supervisors for the honest, practical and econom ical manner they have handled the road construction. The report says in part: "We find thot in a few instances en crssive prices have been paid for right of way, and that even wire fenc ing has been purchased and used to enclose property belonging to private persons. While we are not in position to say that in no instance should the board of supervisors pay for right of way, but We do not believe that it should in any case go on record as purchasing the material and building fences. We appeal to all public spir ited citizens to make every reasonable sacrifice to the end that the money now on hand may be used in building and constructing roads throughous the parish with as little lbss to or extor tion on the road funds as reasonably possible. "We are assured by those in charge of the road building that they have received the promise of the State Highway Department that, if the pres ent plans to construct an east ad west and a north and south road through the parish are carried out, we can secure a denation from the state and federal government of about $60,000 on the east and west road and about $150,000 on the north and south road. This board of supervisors assures us that the ordinary roads throughout the parish are now being worked as rapidly as possible and that by late fall they expect to have every road in the parish worked in good shape, all at an expenditure of not over seven or eight thousand dollars. (%r inves tigation convinces us that it is prob able that the board of supervisors can do this, for we find that many miles of road have already been worked by them throughoutathe parish. "It is'our opinion that the jury of our parish acted upon an erroneous presumption or statemet at facts in attempting to set aside the sum of $100,000 for the purpose of working the roads generally throughout the parish. If this should be done it would probably result in neither the north or south roads being completed and the people never deriving the benefit for the $242,985.83 which has been spent at the present time.
