County considers bond to fund share of highway
County officials weighed a state plan to build and maintain a new highway with the state paying half of 109000. Gentry said this is the first time the state offers half the cost, with city and county sharing the rest. Precinct 4 funds may not cover the rest, prompting talk of a countywide bond issue, while some officials favor state construction only. The project would pave 4th Street to the base, serving Reese Village residents. It lies about 2300 miles from Gibraltar and the Suez Canal.
