Surplus in Road Fund May Cut Levy Plans Considered
A $66 748 surplus in the county main road fund could cut the two mill levy for road purposes. Weather delays left a fund surplus instead of a deficit, prompting discussion on halving the levy and shifting taxes across the duplicate. Judge Worstell outlined state aid under the Green law for township roads. Members were urged to meet county commissioners to approve any reduction, with auditor Cornwell suspending rate making until action is reported. A Lancaster street and East State street repaving plan was reviewed and a committee led by J D Martin was formed to advise the city council. The chamber endorsed sheet asphalt for East State street resurfacing over amesite.
