(continued from page D A Large Task For Supervisors: 3,000 Road Miles that many would expect the j unimproved township roads to be taken care of immediately.” And another pointed out if they were to take these roads, the much smaller township taxes would mul tiply if they were to give the town ship roads the same care as the county roads. In other words, you take your choice—either the tax dollar would be spread thinner! and more roads would be main tained in poorer fashion or as it is now, less roads in the county j would be maintained but kept in better condition. Short of that an increase in taxes—and a substan tial increase—would be necessary. The county could relieve itself! altogether of the responsibility of caring for the mail routes where they fall on township roads but will work in harmony with the township boards to help maintain them when they are main lines of traffic. Under the Schroeder Mail Route Law, if an extra mill would have been levied, (and it was turned down) the county board would have helped maintain all the mail routes whether they fell on township or county roads. Even though this increase in taxes is not felt by us, the supervisors have taken it on themselves to help care for some mail routes jointly with the township where they feel their district can be bettered. Recause of the inflexibility of the federal matching fund system. Holt county is not able to afford the plan. Here’s the rub: If we) did avail ourselves of matching | funds for county roads real trouble ! would begin according to most j county officials. First of all, we would begin by hiring an engi- j neer—another addition to taxes. Then we would be forced to build I the county road according to rigid 1 specifications set by (he federal I government which would hike! the price to proportions not in j accord with the budget. In short, this is a problem which hurts Holt county more than most other counties because wo have so many more miles of roads than lie average county When the led | eral men set their specifications, they either didn't have* counties like Holt in mind or they didn’t care, or both. Most Holt county supervisors are convinced that it would cost the county more money by letting federal government pay half than it would now. And they have good reason to believe it the way the federal government has set it up. So what is the answer? More taxes, of course, would solve one problem but put an other problem in our pocket books. In one of the future articles in this series, a list of methods whereby we can lietter our state and county maintained roads will appear. In the immediate future, the articles continue to deal with the problems. Next week we will take a look at State maintained roads. Amelia News By Florence Lindsey Mr. and Mrs. Floyd Adams and Don.
