As election day approaches on September 2 the county schedules public meetings over ten days starting the 18th to explain the road bond. Officials expect a $300,000 government contribution to reach about a million dollars, enabling improvements to the south road and possible extension of the north road to Roy Valentine. Farmers seek better access to markets and diversification benefits.

Board of County Commissioners
Accomplished Very Little in Legislature Session
The extraordinary session adjourned without notable relief for farmers hit by the drought. Lawmakers spent time touring other matters, added two supreme court justices, and raised railroad commissioners’ salaries by $1,000. Bonding for drought relief was ruled unconstitutional, while highway work opened to drylanders at good wages. Counties were allowed to spend up to $10,000 with rapid special elections as needed.
