New Legislation Sets Up Secondary Roads Authority
The secondary road bill becomes effective July 1 and shifts authority to the board of supervisors. It imposes a $4 per male resident tax and allows anticipatory warrants to fund construction and maintenance. The board can limit levies to 1927 levels, with a 2 mill mandatory construction levy and optional 2.5 mill levy, plus maintenance levies of 7.5 mills (up to 12 mills) outside cities, with gasoline tax allotments retained.
