TWO NEW TRACTORS ORDERED BY COUNTY
Prince William Supervisors Authorize Purchase of Road Equipment
Special Dispatch to the Star.
The Board also heard the opposition to the closing of the road from the J. D. Crenshaw residence in an easterly direction to Yates Ford road, the abandonment of which had been recommended by a board of viewers, consisting of E. R. Conner, Charles B. Evans and J. S. Evans. The matter was again referred to the viewers for further report and consideration of a change of location as proposed by Martin D. Lynch, whose property borders on the road, and who represented citizens who claimed that to close the road would work a hardship and inconvenience to them. The protestants suggested that a relocation of the road be considered from Centerville road to Yates road.
W. M. Johnson, John B. House, A. B. Carr, A. O. McLearen and W. H. Herndon were appointed a commission to view and make just compensation for land to be taken in relocating the road from Seymours Corner to Keys Corner in the Brentsville district, objection having been made to the report of the viewers.
The board disposed of many routine matters and approved numerous bills for payment by the county treasurer. Supervisors present at the meeting were J. Lindsay Dawson, chairman, Occoquan; Rolfe Robertson, Gainesville; J. W. Merchant, Dumfries; C. R. Earhart, Coles; D. E. Earhart, Brentsville, and C. C. Lynn, Manassas District.
[Unfortunately, H(erbert) L. Tubbs would later be killed when one of the county tractors "turned over on him" as he was working. ~cgl]
