Co M Rogier, Supervisor, asks Patoka township residents to consider a bond issue of ten thousand dollars to gravel about nine and a half miles of main roads east west through Vernon and Patoka. The plan would use nine foot by six inch gravel, funded by bonds repaid over ten years, at roughly three cents per acre per year, contingent on voter approval and local support.
