Butler County roads funded by vision not bonds says judge
In 1910 Butler County faced road needs and avoided bonds due to Judge Lamp ly and later Sheriff Winkler. The county built 130 miles of roads, 15 bridges, and kept debt free with a 80 per mile annual cost. By September 1922 the treasury held 14500 with no warrants outstanding as taxes fell due in October. The Highway Magazine notes the county’s fiscally prudent path and enduring road network.
