Auto License Revenue To Pay Bonds Opposition Formed
Logan Chamber of Commerce joins Southern Ohio groups to oppose H R 40 as unconstitutional. The bill would take ten percent of automobile license revenue to retire road bonds, causing Hocking County losses of about 82500 and a county fund hit near 28000 within 15 years. A Newark meeting August 12 will discuss the measure with trade groups and the County Government Affairs group in Zanesville backing opposition.
