Bonds and roads bond issue passes with small turnout
Voters in Brandon backed a $30,000 five percent bond issue for better highways. Only about 212 of up to 300 white electors voted, with strong approval for roads but split on finance by bonds versus direct tax. Supporters pledged cooperation regardless of outcome and praised future benefits. Also, a Woodmen of the World picnic at Shiloh drew 800 to 1,000 attendees with speeches by Anse McLaurin and local lawyers, celebrating fraternity and regional history.
