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.
