Road funding disappears as five year limit ends
The remaining funds total £54 000 with most money spent on administration or diverted to other counties. The five year road program ends in 1922 and unspent money reverts to the state. Auto licenses bring about $11 000 annually for state aid roads, but only 110 miles can be maintained each year while only 32 miles are ready. Hemingford and Alliance lack cooperation as tensions rise over road funding and a potential road war.
