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
