L. G. Hamilton arrived here from Ft.
Worth Wednesday mornihg and will
probably remain over until Commis-
sioners’ Court meets Monday when he
will submit his offer to build 820,000
worth of roads in Dentorir county to
them for their approval. The offer was
first laid before the Board of Directors
of the Chamber of Commerce for their
opinion and support of the plan for se-
curing good roads in Denton County.
The plan as outlined by Mr. Hamil-
ton before the Chamber bf Commerce
directors is to take the contract and
build roads to the amount of 820,000,
which is to be paid as the work is done
in interest-bearing warrants. The war-
rants are to be made to mature as the
present road and bridge tax of the
county will carry them. He specifies
that the work on the roads is to be
done under the personal supervision of
the County Commissioners or anyone
appointed by them to superintend the
Work.
The Commissioners, besides deciding
upon the offer of Mr. Hamilton, will
have the canvassing of the results of
the county trustee elections and elec-
