Silver Men Protest Secretary's Ruling

No Other Plan Proposed for County Road Paving Policy
Shoshone county commissioners detail a road policy funded by federal and state aid to standardize and pave the main highway with a county debt of 300000 dollars. The plan uses less than half the current road fund for interest and sinking, aims to wipe debt in ten years, and seeks endorsement from the Good Roads association without raising taxes. The proposal would shift maintenance to the state highway department funded by gasoline tax, with substantial savings for automobile owners on paved roads.
