been made by the taxpayers of this town
ship to have Road District created and
a Road Supervisor appointed. The
Board of County Commissioners are
powerless in the matter until petition
shall have been presented to them,
signed by majority of the taxpayers in
the township, asking for the creation Of
such district and the appointment of a
Road Supervisor. Under the law of last
winter no road tax can be levied or col
lected until Road District is established,
and without a road tax, of course, no
public money can be expended in the
of the streets and high
ways in our vicinity. If any people in
the world ever had need of a road tax
fund, to be expended in the improve
ment of streets and highways, we think
Pioche township is of that number, and
we therefore urge the necessity of taking
early action by our taxpayers to have a
Road District created and a Road Super.
visor appointed.
RACING THROUGH THE STREETS.
recklessness with which some men race
their horses through the streets is repre-
hensible in the extreme, and affords
another reason why Phoebe should be in
eorporated. With a local government
such recklessness might be prevented by
a proper ordinance; but as those who
are IN the habit of converting the streets
INTO race tracks really do not intend to
lnJure any one, perhaps the information
that their sportive disposition endangers
the ,ives and limbs OF men, women and
children (the latter especially will have
the effect to stop the dangerous practice.
The vast plain to the north and west of
Phoebe certainly furnishes field of suf-
hcient capacity to test the speed and
bottom OF any nag in town. GO to the
plains for racing, and leave the streets
for their legitimate uses.
observation-disclosures Mitchell. who
was arrested on Tuesday night for dis.
turbing the peace, and sent to Jail in de-
fault of bail, where he remained until
yesterday morning, was discharged by
Justice Stoutenburgh, the lady who COM
planned to the officer and procured the
arrest coming before the Prosecuting
Attorney and alleging that it was all a
mistake. So Mitchell was discharged.
This thing of procuring an arrest and
then refusing to prosecute the case ought
to be stopped. II the accused was
guilty, as was represented to the officer,
he should have been punished, and if he
was arrested upon frivolous pretext and
kept in Jail for a day or two, then the
party who caused the arrest should be
held to an accountability.
