Levies Reduced Only in Few
Cases; Several Double
Appropriations

Considerably more money will
be spent on township roads this
year than in any recent year it
was indicated Tuesday when vot-
ers favored generous increases in
road and bridge funds at annual
town meetings.
With but two exceptions where
reductions were made, the road
levies were either left at last
years figures or increased, in
many cases by considerable
amounts. This trend was first
noticed last year after several
years of constant slashing, and
was more general this year.
