Members of Taylor county’s board of supervisors will gather in special meeting at the courthouse in Medford next Monday morning, August 16.

The principal purpose of the meeting will be the discussion of the damage to roads and bridges by the floods and the method of obtaining aid from state funds for the rebuilding of such roads and bridges.

The state and county highways of Taylor county sustained considerable damage from flood waters in both 1942 and 1943, and it is understood that the state is listening to claims for help repairing the damage suffered both years. The town roads also took a lot of punishment during the flood times and their claims have been the subject of discussion at various town meetings throughout Taylor county.
