Parishwide bond plan for Good Roads in Ouachita Parish
A parish wide bond issue of 1.5 million dollars for road construction was unanimously approved by the West Side Good Roads Committee. The plan retires 0.5 million in existing bonds, leaving 1 million for new highways with a maintenance provision of about 0.5 mill to 0.4 mills. The tax rate based on 1919 figures would run around three mills, lower than current district rates, and aims to fund upkeep after construction. The measure is supported by diverse parish residents and seeks to improve western Ouachita roads.
