Voters will decide on September 25 whether to authorize a $100000 bond issue for road work including resurfacing Ad Hall to Cameron and Cameron to Minerva, rebuilding the Little River bridge, and Waco Crossing Road improvements. The measure would attract about $125000 in state and federal aid and shift highway maintenance to the State Highway Commission from January 1, 1924.
The article states no tax levy is needed for three years. A forty cent road bond tax will cover the first period. After three years an additional twenty five cent levy will be required, then gradually reduced as serial bonds are paid off.
The State and Federal Governments have allotted 125000 aid to build 10 1 2 miles of road from Ad Hall to McCown Bridge and replace the present bridge with a concrete floored two way span. An additional 25000 from the bond issue would fund Waco Crossing road and Miner va Road reconstruction, with hopes of a further 20000 from state aid for Minerva Road. The plan requires Commissioners Court approval and promises minimal tax rate impact while delivering a first class state highway maintained at no extra local cost.
