RESOLUTIONS adopted by the Salem
Democratic Club, April "a, 1920:
AT the meeting OF the Salem Demo
cratic Club today, the bond issue for
hard surfaced roads was discussed,
and the undersigned committee was
E1namission the following objections
5nsfhe proposed issue:
sss lst. That the proposed property
tax plan is inequitable in that the
motor vehicles that will use the said
roads viii constitute rs per cent Of the
traffic on said roads, and are not tax
ed for the same. 1t should provide
for a graduated tax Of about the same
glieense fees row on the smaller cars
iip to s100 or $50 on the heavy
fsncks. and that all horse drawn We
hicles should be taxed an equitable
fee.
End. That the amount proposed
will. in our opinion. be too small to
build the number of miles proposed.
probably not more than one-half OF
the mileage promised This would
mean grave injustice to large sec
fions Of the county. Therefore. we
respectfully state to the Highway
Commission that unless these and 9TH
er objections are satisfactorily remov-
ed, we will be forced to vcte against
the bond issue as proposed.
srd. That all "cost plus" contract
viii be fought.
Respectfully submitted.
