County eyes broad road bond for 1993 plan
A county road bond proposal seeks 250 000 to 500 000 dollars to build 40 cents a mile roads and extend others to the county line. Officials say the levy can be met without raising general tax rates due to anticipated reassessment and rate reductions elsewhere. The 1993 issue built 163 miles of roads under taxpayers' favorable view, and another issue is expected to receive broad support as part of a cooperative program with county authorities.
