Vernon and nonresidents pay major share of road bond
Readers learn that Vernon and nonresident property owners would bear about 61 percent of a $600000 Wilbarger county road bond issue while residents of the county outside Vernon would cover roughly 39 percent. The plan aims to fund permanent county roads with proceeds largely outside Vernon, with total valuations and tax figures from County Tax Assessor B F Porterfield used to justify the county wide approach. Voters must meet poll tax receipt requirements to vote in the coming election.
