Commissioner's Court Deliberates Tractor Purchase and Road Funds
In a regular session the Commissioner's Court decided not to buy a one man tractor with scarifier after considering weather based operating costs. The court also directed sale of a concrete mixing outfit for $50 credit to Road and Bridge Fund and approved several community road projects with cash or labor donations. It set road fund apportionments and ordered elections for school trustees in Gillespie Precincts 2 and 4 for April 8, 1926.
