SPECIAL TAX 7 Annual road meetings for the purpose of voting on the question of levying special taxes In road districts of the county will be held this year principally on November 7, although more may be held lat er. The meetings may be held any time during November. Up to the present time 29 meet ings have been called, three or four petitions In addition are In, and officials state they know of two or three more districts which are con sidering holding such meetings this year. Last year 32 road districts In the county held special meetings but all of them did not vote a speclnl tax. There will be no bonus from county road funds this year as there was Inst, when the court vot ed to match funds up to two mills in special road taxes. Tho court now needs all the money for Its market road program and probably thero will be no more bonuses of this nature for five years, at leant. Road districts are permitted un der the law to vote special tnxes up to and Including 10 mills. As a general thing Marion county road districts are the mojt consistent special road tax voters of any coun ty in the stnte, which accounts to a large degree for the splendid con dltlon which Is found on the small er, un paved side roads of the coun ty.
