large road Improvement program. An
other advantage that would accrue to
the townships, made possible under
the new law, would be the fact that all
new roads built by the townships with
or without county cooperation accord
ing to county standard, are maintained
by the county thereafter. This provi-
sion furnishes an incentive to the
townships to build to conform to the

Director RudiSilI Outlines
Necessity For Proper
Financing

Director Rudisill of the Ohio Good
Roads Federation, who spoke recently
at chamber of commerce luncheon
here, has sent the following to William
l.. Robinson:
One of the Things that perhaps
should be given consideration at the
present time is the matter of levying
for the road work of the coming year
which, according to the new law, is to
be done in the June sessions of the
beard of township trustees and the
board of county commissioners. The
adoption of fair, well.understood
method of financing our road work is
as essential as the establishment of
a good plan OF administration in fact
upon proper financing depends the
proper classification of our roads, the
adoption of a uniform, business-like
program of improvement and the en-
ployment of plan of continuous main
tenance or follow-up repair, as re-
quired by law. 1t is hopeful sign
that all progressive committees are
realizing this fact.
Under Section 23S of the new law,
the county commissioners must levy
maintenance fund upon the county
duplicate totaling at least $40 per mile
of county roads. Under Section 239,
the township trustees must levy fund
upon the township duplicate outside of
village corporations totaling at least
500 per mile of township roads. These
sections are mandatory, but the total
rate shall not go beyond 10 mills. The
township trustees may levy under Sec
ton so as much as may be needed, in
addition to the above, up to mills on
the total township duplicate for road
construction, dragging and repair.
Under Section 105, the county COM
missioners may levy as much as mills
to pay county's share of Improvement
by county commissioners, and under
Section 106 may levy as much as 8
mills on any township to pay town
ships share of such improvement.
Again the county commissioners may
