Good Roads in Harris County Proposal for County Bonds
A letter to The Post argues Harris County should vote to issue bonds to add 145 miles of macadamized roads with no tax increase. Judge Vasmer's plan would fund $600,000 from bonds, charge about 15 cents on the property tax to cover interest and principal, and improve drainage and road quality without raising taxes. The writer predicts widespread road improvements, better market access, and a wheel-like road system centered on Houston, urging voter support.
