If more money is needed for the road program than can be raised under the 6% limitation, the additional funds needed for the program desired will be presented to the budget committee for their approval. If they approve, and the request for funds is granted, the people will be asked to exceed the C% limitation to that extent. In this manner the bookkeeping work can be greatly reduced and road costs can be more easily determined, than where a special tax is voted.
