Decatur Daily Democrat, Volume 21, Number 48, Decatur, Adams County, 24 February 1923 — Page 2

Field Goals Decatur lout, but DECATUR FOUGHT. Decatur's basketbull Isu't so bud when compared to the game us play ed around Logansport and Rochester. And by the way, Roth did a nice job of refereeing. Now for the big show next week. It looks like we are going to have a flue tournament. Monroe and Liberty Center, are going good, Bluffton lias taken a new lease on life, and our quintet cun be counted upon to cause a lot of trouble for any of them. Then there is Petroleum.

Measure Will Call Halt in Road Building (Continued from Page One) them and if the "holiday" road bill does not stop the building of them they will be constructed this year. County Has 700 Miles Adams cuonty has been one of the foremost counties in the state in macadam road building and at present has over 700 miles of improved gravel or macadam roads, they being constructed under the three mile road law and paid by the individual townships in which they were located and paid by township taxation. Limit Here is 3% For several years, following the boost in valuations in property during and following the war and even at the prseent time, the county commissiiners. consistent with good business management and to keep down taxes as much as possible and at the same time build as many roads as were absolutely necessary and in keeping with a progressive spirit, limited the road bonded indebtedness to three percent of the valuations, although the law provided that the bonded indebtedness could be increased to four percent. The progress of the bill will be caiefully watched by the farmers and citizens of this county, all of whoyi are anxious to know if the bill becomes a law. R i 8 not known whether Governor McCray will veto the bill, nor is it known if he favors it. Ihe valuations and bonded indebtedness of the twelve townships are as follows, the figures giving you some idea when improved roads can be built in your township if the two percent bill becomes a law.
