to the present gas tax in order to secure sufficient funds to build 000 miles of concrete road on what are known as the through road systems during the next ten years The action came upon a tion from the county road com- through its chairman Super- visor Amos Hasbrouck endorsing the plan as a good one the gas tax being regarded as the best sible method of money for highway use but specifying that the annual appropriation for town roads which are those unattached either to the federal state or ty trunk systems shall be per mile instead of as at present per mile The resolution also placed the board on record as affirmative action on the plan by the legislative of the county When the previous question finally ended the discussion a viva voce vote was taken but some of the members called for

whereas a property tax is paid all at once Supervisor Bailey considered this plan as a part of the usual ganda sent out by the state If Milwaukee Racine and Kenosha counties are against he thinks Wood should oppose it Mr Hasbrouck then explained that while these three counties own and operate about 60 per cent of all the cars in the state they already have most of their roads built and naturally the money raised by their gas tax will be spent in the er counties where the roads have not yet been so well improved He is confident that the promised in the state highway commission plan will take
