Clarke County Bonds and Road Plans Face Scrutiny
The grand jury reviewed Clarke County road bonds of 1904 to 100000 dollars issued for macadamizing. They found 23291.22 spent, 79205.78 unexpended, and that funds remain deposited with Georgia National Bank of Athens until needed. The county accepted a 102600 dollar offer from the bank, yielding 600 more than cash offers after interest, while work progresses slowly due to convict labor. Community support calls for faster permanent improvements.
