COURT FINDS WAY TO
BUILD GOOD ROADS
At the monthly meeting of the
Hood Kiver county court which con
vened Monday, a plan wan taken up
by County .Indue Culbertson and
Commissioners Mi-Curdy and Rhondes
to allow the county to extend Its
scope In good roads work this year
If the taxpayers decide to do ho.
The plan, which has been under
consideration by the county commis
sioners since the good roads bills
were vetoed. Is to Issue unpaid war
rants In any sum the taxpayers de
cide on. The right of counties to la
cur Indebtedness for road work has
been authorized by Attorney General
Crawford In answer to a communi
cation addressed to him by County
Judge Culbertson ami which says:
Salem, Or., March 4. lull.
Hon. George I). Culbertson,
Clerk of Hood River County,
Hood River, Oregon.
Dear Sir:
I have your favor of the 2nd In
stant, relating to Incurring Indebted
ness by counties beyond the amount
of $-1,0U0 for the purpose of building
permanent roads, as authorized by
section 10 of Article XI of the consti
tution, as amended at the last elec
tion. Answering, I beg to say said nc
tlou Is a limit. ttlon on the right of
the county to Incur Indebtedness,
ar.d the limitation ts-ing removed as
to Indebtedness Incurred for the
special purpose stated therein. In my
opinion It does not require affirma
tive legislative In order to give the
county the right, since It has the
right If It were not for the limitation
placed In the said section of the con
stitution.
Very respectfully yours,
A. M. ('inivri)Kli,
Attorney General.
While not complete the commls-
sinners are outlining a plan which
will be submitted to the taxpayers
of the county to vote on and will
probably Include a circular letter
addressed to each one explaining the
authority for the movement and pro
cedure with a postal card which can
lie returned and made to read for or
against, and containing the signa
ture of the voter. In this way the
.Vl7 expense and trouble of an elect Ion In
1U0.60 !, orrllrmrv sense of the term will be
avoided and the desired result at
tained. It Is thought that an additional
$.7,000 with the amount already
raised for road purposes by taxation,
will allow the county to complete a
lelt road around the valley this year
and make It possible to secure other
permanent roads later, n matter con
sidered to be most essential to the
county generally.
