Adams County Good Roads Plan Promises Major Benefits
The plan proposes 300 miles of roads at 33.54 cents per $100, covering 20 percent of Adams County roads yet handling 80 percent of traffic. Gravel would widen a 10 ft road to 15 ft, with three-fourths of construction by county labor. Women may vote, and the bond plan is presented as cheaper than piecemeal. Vote yes November 7 to improve land value and save time.
