Promoters claim a 65 to 75 percent local spend, two to three year employment, and a small 38 cent per hundred dollar tax to fund a first class countywide road system. They argue wear and tear savings and long term economic gains justify the bond issue.
The Llano News urges June 28 as the day Old Llano goes over the top in a road bond issue vote. It argues bonds bring prosperity, local employment, and postwar recovery with no taxes until January 1921, while 65 to 16 percent of funds benefit residents along the roads.
Citizens vow that improved roads will boost revenue for both big and small taxpayers and they will back their judgment on June 28.
The proposed 3000000 bond issue is described as funding a countywide road system. Officials say the plan funds construction of highways and local roads, improving travel for all communities and residents while correcting misconceptions about the project’s scope.
The article outlines a proposed 206000 road bond issue at 544 percent interest with a valuation rate of 3.80 per thousand and suggests maintenance taxes up to 15 cents per hundred dollars. It notes possible 28 cents per hundred or related figures as needed to fund roads, alongside local commentary and brief mentions of residents and events.
Fragmented text discusses road maintenance funding in Llane County and praise for preserving infrastructure. Contains unrelated adlike lines praising various skills and a probate notice referencing Mrs Mary Dacus and a court event.
A terse line contemplates the value of a man with temporary powers: if he held such abilities in life and at death, killing him might be unjust or unwarranted, leaving the statement to linger as a paradox about power and morality.
