Benton County Votes on Smaller Governing Board
Benton County plans to ask voters at the November general election to cut the county board from five to three members. A transfer of funds from road maintenance to the poor fund was made to cover a $12,909.31 overdraft with an estimated $20,000 needed for the year, and about $11,000 will come from fall taxes. About $22,000 will be returned to road maintenance by October 15, 1933. The reduction measure arose from a Benton County Taxpayers league petition with over 4,000 names.
