New Court House and Road Program Planned in Coos County
The Coos County Court with District Attorney Ben C Flaxel and Deputy Auditor Al Montgomery outlined plans to place two measures on the June 22 ballot. A total of 600000 would be raised over five years for a new court house and post war road reserve funds, exceeding the 6 percent budget limit. If approved, the levy would not raise the annual county levy by more than 4 mills, leveraging federal matching funds without debt or bonds. The court house funds lack firm federal match details, while road funds may gain outside cash when available.
