CHAPTER 65 AN ACT TO ESTABLISH RAEFORD GRADED AND HIGH SCHOOL DISTRICT IN HOKE COUNTY, AND TO PERMIT SAID DISTRICT TO VOTE $35,000 OF BONDS. Whereas, on the fourth day of March, one thousand nine hun- dred and three, the General Assembly of North Carolina passed an act creating Raeford School District for the white race, includ- ing portions of Cumberland and Robeson counties, and the same being published, with boundaries, in the Public Laws of North Carolina, session one thousand nine hundred and three, chapter four hundred and five, page six hundred and ninety-three; and whereas all of said Raeford School District is now in Hoke County ; and whereas, on the eighteenth of January, one thousand nine hundred and twelve, a majority of the qualified voters in the said Raeford School District voted in favor of the levy and collection of a special tax for the support of said school, and the same is now being levied and collected, thereby changing its na- ture from that of a private to a public school: therefore, The General Assembly of North Carolina do enact:
That after the ratification of this act by a majority of the qualified voters residing in said territory, said board of trustees at their first regular meeting, and annually thereafter on the first Monday in June in each year, shall elect from their number a chairman and secretary. The said board shall also elect a treasurer, who may or may not be a member of said board of trustees. The treasurer shall have charge of all the moneys received and disbursed as provided in this act, and shall report monthly to said board his receipts and disbursements, with vouchers for the same. The said treasurer shall receive such compensation as may be fixed by said board, and give such bond as may be required by said board. The secretary shall keep minutes of all meetings, and shall attest the signature of the chairman to all legal documents, and shall be the custodian of the corporate seal, and shall issue by order of the board all orders or warrants for the payment of money.
