Benedict township has voted
to issue $4,000 bonds to improve
roads in their township. 1t is

the county should take up and
consider bonding for road inn
provements. Many need road
improvements involve too much

way to circumvent this. These
bonds can be sold to the state
and can be made to run for
twenty years at 4 per cent in
