Good Roads Question
at a Glance

A few Reasons Why You Should
Vote for Payette Highway District.
/ The road tax levy can be just as high
under the present law as under the high
way law--Both tax provisions are alike
exactly.
Under the old law the money is ex-
pended but we get NO ROADS. Under
the old law less than one-third Of the
road taxes paid by the residents of the
proposed Payette Highway District is
expended I'M the District Under the
Highway Law 95 per cent will be ex-
pended in the District.
The New Highway District Law
should not be confused with the Old
Goods District Law, They are entirely
different.
Under the old law the road super
visor works where and when he pleases.
Under the new law the work is under
the direction of competent man, skill
ed in road building, who is responsible
to a board of three Highway Commits
sioners of local people.
The Payette District is prosperous
and densely populated community, and
pays large proportion Of the road taxes
of the County. Why not spend this
money on our roads, instead Of distri-
buting it over the Whole County? Vote
YES" for the Payette Highway Dis
trict and We Will be able to do this.
