Repair Fund Troubles the County Board
The gravel road repair fund faces shortfalls as expenditures rise, with the county borrowing to cover shortages. A $25,000 loan was authorized but later cut to $7,000, leading to overdrafts and anticipated tax receipts to cover $8,300 paid in advance. June distributions will reveal a deficit near $900 and outstanding claims around $1,990, while tax collections for gravel road construction total $29,049.10 with wide parish variances. Treasurer Godwin prepares for the June settlement with state authorities.
