Long Range Plan Urged for Marion County Secondary Roads
Marion County farmers hear a call for a long range program to improve secondary roads. Farm Bureau President Walter Snyder urges voters to back an adequate system, noting all weather outlets for farms and the need to maintain mud roads during spring thaws. The federation proposes three steps: tax maximum property, hire an approved county engineer, and develop a long range plan with economical standards. They seek more federal and state aid tied to user funding to cover road costs and maintenance.
