Pelahatchie Election Precinct Bond Vote Request
Rankin County Mississippi board orders public notice in Brandon News for three weeks in January 1917. A petition by more than twenty percent of Pelahatchie Election Precinct electors seeks to place the precinct under Chapter 176 of the 1914 laws and issue bonds up to 75000 dollars to build or maintain public roads. If twenty percent petition against bonds is filed, bonds require a majority vote in a separate election. The notice invokes the clerk to publish and confirms the order January 4, 1917.
