Session of the Board of Supervisors.

The board of supervisors met in
session at Solomonville Monday to
transact the county business and as
there was only a small amount of
work to be done, it finished up in two
days.
In the matter of increased assess
ments, the A. G. company was the
only one that was favored with d
reduction on lots. 1t had been in
creased to Il sufficient amount by the
last board of equalization and the
present board decided to make the
reduction on that basis.
In the matter of the new wagon
road from Lines dairy to Metcalf, it
was decided to look the ground over
and see what could be done. 1t is the
opinion of the board that a wagon
road through that district will cost
more money than the county can
afford and it is quite likely that they
will be convinced to that effect when
they make an inspection.
In the matter of the new jails at
Clifton and Morenci it was decided
to ask for bids, which will be adyer-
tised as soon as possible. There will
most likely be some little delay in
this matter, owing to the fact that
the new structures will be located on
leased ground and it is essential that
the county should have a long term
lease. This matter will not require
much time at Morenci, but in Clifton
it will require some time to confer
with the board of directors of the A.
c. company, who reside in Scotland.
Unless a long term lease can he
secured, it is probable that the pres
ent Jail site will not be used. There
are two other locations that the
county can get, one being on Hills ad-
dition andt he other Henry Collin 5 old
hotel site. The Collins lot will be the
most convenient at present as it is
centrally located.
A number of claims were allowed
and ordered paid and the new wagon
road in East Clifton was accepted by
the board.
One of the most important things
done by the board was the reduction
in the tax levy of 80 cents lower than
the 1906 tax. 1t was placed at 800,
which will be accepted with good
grace by the taxpayers of the county.
The tax is made up as follows:
General county fund, "a cents; gem
eral road fund, 40 cents; general
school fund, A. cents: bond redemp-
ton fund, u cents; bond redemption
interest fund, cent: territorial bond
interest fund, s cents; territorial
general fund, 10 cents: making a
total of 50 on the 800 valuation.
This is gratifying to the property
owners of this county, when it is con-
sidered that only a few years ago the
tax was 800, making a reduction of
just one-half. This change has been
brought about principally by the ad-
vancement of the eastern end of the
county, a more equal assessment
secured by the county assessor, and
good administration. Although the
companies and many individuals have
been raised in their assessment to
some extent, still the total sum paid
in taxes will not be as much as for
merly, with a few exceptions.

NEW BOTTLING WORKS
PLANT FOR CLIFTON.
A $4,000 Plant to be Erected in the
Near Future.

Clifton is to have a new bottling
works plant which will cost in the
neighborhood of $4,000, backed by
Joe H. Dial and Geo. Webster, two of

men. 1t is their intention to put in a
strictly modern bottling plant, equip
ped with the latest improved machin-
cry and they are now figuring with

possible, in order that they Will be

pared to carry their plans through

they will conduct strictly wholesale
business. There is a good opening in
the camp for a Wholesale house of
this kind, there being Clifton, Mo-
renci, Metcalf, Duncan and other sur
rounding towns to draw from. Both
gentlemen are well known in this
section and the success of their new
venture is an assured fact.
