PAGES Nyssa Chamber Is Asked To Promote Road Tax Vote The Nyssa Chamber of Commerce was a'ktxl Wednesday to take the .ead in promoting a county-w.Je 10- .nili road tax levy and having th$ 1 issue re-submitted to the voter at the November eneral election Har- >ld Henigson reminded member f | the Chamber that voters In ’ he rural and urban precincts in the Ny a area gave their approval for con j tinuation of the pecial tax while the county-wide vote defeated th* ! measure at the primary election May 16 The pro ent 19-mill levy expires June 30. 195.1 and v ters were a Kni oy the county court to approve » m- tinuation of the ame levy for un- >ther five years. Henigson explained that the coun ty will be in dire circumstances w;th- mt local fund to match federil md state aid available for roads 411 future federal funds must be matched in like amount by road funds from the county and state, it «as explained It was also pointed out at the meeting that the City of Nyssa re- ■eives approximately *7.000 a year in funds and services from the coun- ty-wide tax on the ba-is of half the levy, or five mills, assessed on pro- ;ierty within the city limits The re maining five mills on city property ;oes into the county fund for rural roads In this area, according to local ifficials. Henigson aid that County Judg* Sewell Stanton lias stated the coun ty court is in no position to ask to have the issue brought up for vote again. The county judge has taken the stand that inasmuch as the vot ers had rejected the issue at the primary election, lie as the county iudge and the county court as a board, would not attempt to force the 10-mill levy on the taxpayers. An organization or a group of indi viduals must take the responsibility of having the tax levy voted on a second time, Henigson said. The tax-levy proponent suggested that it is possible some misunder standing of the road tax exists and pointed out that any extravagance which may or may not have existed in past years, should not influence an individual's thinking on the road matters. He aasured Chamber mem- mefiituRk Utgt funds are now being handled In economic manner and that county records are open for the inipeeflon of the public. Several means of promoting the road tax were proposed by Henig son, including a thorough study of the Issues involved and an educa tional campaign throughout the county, or by petitions and resolu tions. Chandler President Elmer Cruson turned the matter over to the road committee and asked for a report to be made at the chamber board meeting next Tuesday noon LOCAL DELEGATES TO ATTEND LIONS MEETING President Dick Wilson, Hugh Tob- lrr.
