County court meets the first Wednesday In each
month.
The campaign is opening for
the six million dollar bond meas
ure, which comes to a vote in
June. Those figures seem start
lingly large at first glance, but
consider that it covers a number
of years. The statement is also
made on the best of authority
that at present, through all
sources, Oregon is spending more
than a million a year on roads.
And what have we? The bond
issue, should it be voted, will be
taken care of by the quarter mill
state road tax and automobile
licenses.
Both must be paid
whether the bonds carry or not.
To the automobile owner every
mile of such road as is proposed
would reduce running expenses,
wear and tear on the machine
and add greatly to comfort and
convenience. Those not owning
automobiles would travel over
the road and still pay a very
small part of the bond issue. Be
fore the election some one thor
oughly competent will go to every
part of the county to explain
fully the law and all should make
it a point to hear this explana
tion. To us it seems the bond
measure should be favored by
all.
