Nevada, May SIT is probable that
the taxpayers of Story county will
have an opportunity before long Of
voicing their sentiments on paving for
the sixty miles of primary roads OF
Story county.
According to statement OF mem
Der of the board OF supervisors yes
terday II is very likely that an election
will be called within a short time to
give the people of the county an op-
portunity of voting upon the option as
to bonding the county for pavement
under the new road law or not.
One of the first moves that the
board Of supervisors will make in their
new road program viii be to consult
the Highway Commission as to their
rights to draw upon the primary road
fund for further drainage and possible
graveling OF the present road system.
Information from the Highway
commission few days ago stated that
Story county would have available
within the next three years 5000 for
the permanent Improvement of the
primary roads in the country. Added
to this would be the % per cent which
would be taxed to the property owners.
making total of 100000. which
would be more than would be neces-
sary to properly drain, grade and
gravel the primary system of the
county.
There are certain parts OF the pri-
mary system of the county that are
now in good condition. although the
supervisors are finding that there are
still roads on that system that are sad
ly in need of draining and given a re-
covering of gravel in some instances.
