NUMBER 22
Judge Ellis White's Plan
Adopted By His Committee
After once-a-month deliberations since last fall, the county
court and road advisory board adopted a distribution plan for gas
tax refunds.
The plan, proposed byCounty Judge Ellis White, would; (1) Take
the first 25 percent for county bridges, (2) Then 10 percent for
construction and maintenance of roads outside the organized as­
sessment districts, (3) Divide the remaining 65 percent for use
in the districts and on farm access roads.
The idea was not accepted unanimously as the representatives
of the Nyssa and Ontario districts were against the division, and
charged it with being unfair from the beginning of the meetings.

TYPING CLASSES
TO BEGIN AT NHS
Joe Hobson and Grant Rine­
hart, representing the road dis­
tricts of Ontario and Nyssa
set out these as some of the
reasons they considered the
formula as unfair:
(1)
A
majority of the people of the
county live inside the two dis­
tricts, (2) 75 percent of the
tonnage of agriculture is pro­
duced in the districts and hauled
over these roads, thus produc­
ing the gas tax revenue, (3)
the patrons of the district have
paid a special tax to build and
maintain their roads for a num­
ber of years where the county
wide district has not, (4) these
districts have maintained the
bridges within their district
limits without county funds, (5)
the county should assess a sep­
arate tax for a long range
bridge building program, (6)
other sections of the county
should organize small road as-
sessment districts whereby
they could tax themselves to get
better roads where they were
desired.
Effect of Cuts Told
Charlie Custer, chairman of
the Ontario district said under
the old formula they would re­
ceive $54,142 (of the$22,083.47
total for the county) but that
under White’s plan they would
get only $28,214. This change,
he said would cause a reduction
of two-three miles of oiled road
each year.
A similar situation would oc­
cur in the Nyssa district. The
old plan would have given it
$61,650 while the new one would
be $31,020. But the fact that
the Nyssa district was older
than the Ontario district would
not work the same hardship for
new construction.
County Commissioner Jacob
Fischer joined with the minority
in opposing the plan for use of
the refund.
