On Tuesday morning Hon. S D.
Taylor, representative elect, and
Mrs. Taylor took the train for
Boise to be in attendance at the
opening OF the state legislature.
The people of this precinct gave
Mr.. Taylor, if we are not mistaken,
the largest vote ever given to a
candidate il this precinct, thereby
showing their confidence in his
his ability
Mr.. Taylor has been encouraged
t, make a eight for the speakership
Of the house and this encourage
ment came from various parts of
the state and from men of recog-
nized ability, thus showing that he
S recognized as an able man and
to be consulted about various
measu es that will be put before
the legislature this coming session.
Mr.. Taylor will Introduce a bill
providing for bridge across the
Ko tenai river at this place. 1t
has been insisted upon by all the
leading republicans OF the north
end of Kootenai county that he
introduce and fathef the hill for
county division. This honor he
justly merits and We doubt if any
fair minded republican will oppose
his Introducing the BILL
The many friends of Mr.. Taylor
wish him success in the state leg
islature and at the snd of the ses-
sion will be glad to welcome him
and Mrs. Taylor back to Boomers
Ferry.

BONNERS FERRY
IMPROVEMENTS
Trustees Render Faithful Service
to Their Constituents
LIGHT AND WATER NOW
Remarkable Growth of Boomers Ferry
Surpasses all-PreYious
Records

The village DO rd of trustees of
Boomers Ferry, composed of W. A
Alexander chairman, n. b. Will
liams, who is now chairman, John
Muhlfeld, f. A. Shultis and Ben
Morrow have made many needed
improvements for Boomers Ferry
and espe cially. do we refer to the
past year.
About eighteen hundred dollars
has been expended during the
past year for the Improvement Of
our streets. Our streets have been
widened out in places and filed in
in others and sidewalks built so
that the character of our streets
has undergone a wonderful change
and all for the better
The board has bought and paid
for fire engine and other appar-
atus used in connection with the
same at a cost of about $1,000.
Again Just recently the board con-
tracted for hydrants, 400 feet of
the best fire hose that money can
buy and other apparatus to be
used in connection Herewith at a
cost of 1921 making a totil ex-
penditure for fire protection for the
benefit of her citizens of over
$4,000.
1t has purchased and plated out
cemetery at a cost of $240.
The present board has Leen in
stTunental in the s, curing OF a
telephone and lighting sy,tem and
has granted franchises for The
same and also a +, franchise for a
water system. which is at the
present time being installed.
These franchises have been drawn
in such manner that the village
is amply protected in eve'y way
and manner.
During its administration the
board has appointed competent
men in the way of peace officers
and the village has been remark
ably free from violence, in spite of
the fact that during the large p r
ton of their term was during the
construction of the Spokane Inter
national railway and Bonners
Ferry virtually railway camp.
Ronners Ferry is Justly proud of
her excellent board of trustees,
The moneys of the town have
been expended in a wise, careful
and jndicious manner and there
still remains in the village treas
urer a sum of about $500.
The effects of these much needed
Improvements while not so notice
able at present are far reaching
and as time passes will be OBJ
served more and more and favor
able comment will be passed on
the same.
With the completion of the
water works Bonners Ferry will
have adequate fire protection and
the rate of insurance should ma ur-
ally decrease and thus be a saving
of hundreds If dollars in the future
to her citizens. The conv, nlence
of the water system in our homes
together with electric lights anc
telephone needs no comment. We
will be on a par with the large
cities. The transition period il
Boomers Ferry hi-tory has passed
We are a city, a village only il
name.
The policy of the HERALD is nov
as it has always been in the pas
to render unto every man his JUS
due and we believe that the record
of our town board is such that tn
citizens Of Boomers Ferry ma,
justly feel proud of their capable
and efficient management.
