The following figures are being used by the D. H. O. for calculation
purposes, and may vary slightly from the totals that will appear in the
Needs Study. This il because the Department has transferred several Road
Items from the 1 to 5 year to the 6 to 10 year period, ~tnd has trans.ferred
the costs of Stalter Gully from a Bridge Need to a Road Need.

To this mutt be added 1/2 (D.B.O.) of the Deficit

Thus the total amount of money needed to earn the

To this mUlt be added the COlt of Construction

On the County Equalized AIses.ment of $ 68,891,929, a Mill Rate of 10.3
will raise $ 709,587.
Thus to earn the maximum Development Road Entitlement of $ 362,158 in
1968, it would appear that a Mill Rate of 10.3 Mills will be necessary.
