Bond election for good roads discussed at county meeting
At the county commissioners monthly meeting the re submission of a bond issue for good roads to the voters was discussed. Supporters believe a turnout between 900 and 1,000 votes would authorize bonds, with long term debt offset by reduced road and bridge costs and economic benefits to farmers and businesses. The good roads movement is growing statewide with counties forming clubs and Georgia anticipating many road improvements in the near future.
