Riverside road bonds delayed leaving Riverside in the lurch
The Washington Journal cites County Treasurer Marion George planning July 24 disposal of 210000 in road bonds to fund paving near Wellman and primary road No 2, leaving 130000 from the original million for county road improvements. Voters approved the plan in 1927 with promises of No 161 paving and rest graveled by 1929, yet Riverside remains without a paved outlet and no spending on No 1 to date.
