Llano County faces a 1942 budget showing a debt of 99,150.00 primarily for road and bridge construction and related equipment.

The piece outlines a long history of paying as you go, debates on debt versus cash funding, and varying interest rates from six percent in 1925 to two and three-quarters percent in 1939.
