The attention of township taxpayers
and others interested is directed to an
article in this issue of the REPUBLICAN
concerning the new road law which was
passed at the last session of the legisla-
ture and which goes into effect this year
in all portions of the state. Particular
importance is placed upon that provision
of the new law which allows townships
to vote on the question as to whether
they will do away with the work tax and
elect to pay all road taxes in cash. A
township which thus abolishes the work
tax is entitled to receive from the State a
sum in cash equal to fifteen per centum
of the actual amount of cash tax collected
by the township. Twenty-Five taxpayers
must petition the court to order such
election, which must be held at the time
of the February election, and majority
vote decides the question.
