Rood Roads Meet at Wellborn Bond Issue Talk
There was a notable turnout of local farmers and residents at Wellborn to discuss a bond issue for permanent road funding. Judge Graham was unanimously chosen chairman and outlined that replacing temporary funds with a permanent bond would reduce county taxes from 50 to 35 cents on the 100, making road upkeep cheaper and allowing a lasting concrete and steel road system. Proponents, including Mr J Potts and Mr W Graham, urged adoption, arguing farmers gain more from better roads than city drivers.
