Coke County Texas to Vote on Jail and Exhibit Bonds
The Commissioners Court of Coke County orders a May 7 1968 election in precincts 1 2 4 8 and 9 to decide two bond propositions. Proposition 1 seeks 125000 for a county jail with up to 6 percent interest over 25 years, plus taxes to cover interest and a sinking fund. Proposition 2 seeks 175000 for exhibit and coliseum facilities plus an auditorium with taxes to pay interest and create a sinking fund. Absentee voting rules and board appointments are specified. Only resident taxpayers who have rendered property for taxation can vote, with notice by posting and newspaper publication.
