OUR PAY OFF WITH GAS Passage of a $1,000,000 road bond issue for the county to be paid out of the income from the state gasoline tax will be urged before the board of supervisors at their meeting next ‘Tuesday, it was learned from commitâ€" tees working on the proposition. The board will have to submit such county for final approval. It will not add to the present taxes, fective now. The measure, in a way, is regarded as good business in that it will assure the county every cent possible out of the tax. If there were no bond issue the state would simply return the money necessary to carry out ‘road building in progress and retain the rest. Under a bond issue céftain routes wouldabe proposed that would cost -n;i-ii'; in excess of gas tax.. The county, these supervisors state, would allow and halt until the next year. . As the supreme court has not passâ€" ed on the legality of the tax the bond issue will be voted on subject to the action of the court. i For Poor Farm 4 There is also 4 proposal to vote a bond issue that might run as high as $250,000 for a county poor farm.
