DeKalb County Votes Higher Highway Tax and Funds
DeKalb County supervisors approve an extra 25000 for road work and raise the highway tax from 20 to 25 cents. The current annual highway budget of 105000 will rise to 130000, enabling more road projects countywide though officials warn full coverage cannot occur in one or even two years. County Superintendent Fred Q Larson and States Attorney Cassius Poust supported the move amid questions about a 35 cent rate’s legality. Chairman W E Dole said residents want roads built promptly, but limited funds prevent universal access.
