bridge to lhu'stine Ishuld, mem-
bers of the County Board of Ed-
ucation and menlbers of the Ma-

The ln'oposed bond issue would
pay about half the cost of the

handled lhrough a bond issue by
a Road Improvement District

island and by bonds issued by
Road District One to be repaid

The Road Improvement Dis-
iriet would contribute $300,000
and Road District One $250,000.
The proposal being put on the
ballot this time is the same as
one which was defeated by the
voters in the November, 1966
general election.
