WHAT THE ROAD BOND BILL MEANS TO LINN COUNTY Much Depends Upon Passage of the Bill for Linn Coun ty's Future Greatness Koad Bend Talk No. 1 Do you roalix, wnat it meaua if tha $4100100 road bond iasu faiia to paaa the special election on June 3? Do you want to pay state uxaa for nothing t Dont you want Wget bark aom of the money that thia county paya for ataU roads ? Linn county paya one-thirtieth uf all th tax of th atal of Oregon. For th laat ten years or so Lun county haa been paying the one-fourth mill road tax, and not until thia year haa on cent vr been apent on the county roada. Linn county haa been paying ajio licena tax, but very little of thia money la left In the county at preaent. Linn county autoiata are paying a at at tax on gasoline. But at present then ia little chance of any of tiiat money coming back to Linn coun'.y roada. Ttr I no question but that the one-mill market roads bill will pass. Uwarda which Linn county will pay aliout $10,000 annually, but to gt any of that money back th county court must match it dollar for dollar. Th money provided for highway cotit ruction nnder th $ 10.000 v0 atat road bill will not com to L'.ni county unleee thecounty court tint money to pay for grading, bridgea, etc., preparatory to the atate'a doln the paving. If th $600,000 bond bill fails to paaa it means that the Pacific flign way will atop right at Albany be cause th court haa not th money and cannot get tnough to finish th grad ing to Harriaburg. It mean that Lbtn county will trt none of th federal post rood or for est reacrv money, both of which are sure to come if Linn county does her part. It mean that without th money provided by the bid none of the mar ket roada money will be available be cause the county court will b unable to match it. It means that Linn county will oe thrown behind at leaat two years on her road program and that but little work will be done on th roada until more money ia provided for road work. The amount to be raised, $000,000, a small, but it will help a lot. It will grade all of tli roada mentioned In the special election notice, put down a good roadbed and put them in shape for th hardsurfacing that ia bound to come within a very short time It will hardsurface about ten milea on three roada and will provide for the completion of th paving of th Pa cific Highway from Albany to Har- risburg And with thia amount to work with th county will benefit from the va rious state and. government money mentioned above, which will amount to more than the facc of the bonds.
