Judge Bell McHugh says extending paving east of Vernon to the county line could cost about one million dollars. County commissioners have no definite plan while awaiting a Federal aid briefing. State bonds would cover 25 percent and federal funds could match county and state amounts, with a contractual cap near 300,000. Extension options hinge on loopholes and approval of further expenditures for bridges and roadwork.
