May Spend $50,000 on County Roads by October
Wilbarger county has spent about 37,650 since November 1 for road and bridge work. Salaries of road supervisors add roughly 2,000 more. Officials expect another 10,000 to be spent before year end, bringing the total to about 50,000. Automobile taxes fund over 8,000 of this, with 104 registered cars. Tax rates provide 50 cents per 100 valuation, 9 cents to the road fund from the tax take, a share increased by voters. County tax collector C. M. Blair notes more high priced cars and a thriving auto trade, with 15 licenses issued this year versus 5 last year. Fords dominate, offering 7.70 tax, 35 cents per horsepower, and trucks show strong growth after July 1.
