Do You Want to Lose $328,600?
That is just the amount of cold, hard cash Morrow County will lose if the 4 per cent Road Bond Limit Meas
ure Fails to Carry. Here is the Proposition.
The State Highway Fund is 'radically Kxhaustcd.
No more Road Bonds can lie issued until the people of the
State authorize an increase in Road Bond Indebtedness from 2 per
cent to 4 per cent. That is what the 4 per cent Road Bond Limit
Measure means.
MORROW COUNTY is now expending Si4X,roo of county
money grading the Willow Creek section of the Oregon-Washington
Highway. The State Highway Commission is supposed to fin
ish the road by expending an equal amount putting a rock .surface
on the new grade. If the Commission has made any provision for
doing this work from the small amount of State Road Funds yet
available from former bond i.wies. nobody knows it. The commis"
Moil has made no di liniie statement to that effect.

MORROW COUNTY has appropriated $70,000 of county
money to grade the 1 leppncr-l lardman Monument road and has
already paid for the survey. I'nder the law the State will match
this amount of $70,000 and the federal government will also put
up at least an additional $70,(100, making at least $140,000 the
county .should receive from outside sources for the improvement of
this road. The Slate Highway Commission has definitely stated
that if the 4 per cent liond Measure fails they will have no money
to put into the I leppncr-I lardman-Monunicnt road.
