GOOD ROADS.

GOOD ROADS.
The opinions of some of the lead
ing men of this county.
II will take between $25 and $780,
10000 to remodel the county court
house at Brigham City Any reason
able citizen, after thorough investi-
cation. will concede that there is not
enough room for the handling of the
district and county business. There
Is no question but what II will be
built at an early date. There are
many miles of impossible roads that
need draining and grading In order
to be of any use to the public dur
ing the wet season. There has been
an immense loss to the farmers north
OF Garland and elsewhere in being
unable TO reach the wheat market
during the meteoric rise OF wheat this
winter. Two years ago the Hon. w.
S. Hansen Of Fielding lost three cars
OF onions on account of being unable
to get them to the railroad station at
ColIinston.
People living in Brigham, north
and south along the east mountains
have no conception whatever of what
impossible roads are in Bear River
Valley.
The people on the fiat are willing
TO cooperate with the people of Brig
ham City and vicinity and make Box
Elder county one OF the banner coun-
ties I'm the State of Utah.
The tax payers of the east side
have no more right to say to the
people of the fiat, you can get along
a few more years without roads" as
the people of the Bear River Valley
should dictate to the people of Brig
ham City when to remodel and en-
large the county court house. How.
ever the people of Bear River Valley
are heart and soul in the good road
movement. True, we have our tenn
per rufiled by the inconvenience and
loss we have sustained by reason OF
mo roads" The people on the fiat
are and will be factor to be reckoned
with In politics and business socially
and otherwise in the future. A
steady growth has marked the devel-
opment of Bear River Valley. We
have homes for hundreds of families
many would have invested II IL
had not been for the impossible roads.
The $20,000.00 more or less in the
county treasury is not sufficient to
meet the demands of the taxpayers
for good roads and remodeling of the
court house. Even should there be
LIZ of a mill advance in our taxes
for road purposes we still would have
the Inconvenience of splashing
around in mud for several years
However we will not despair. The
fame of the productiveness of the soil
in Bear River Valley has reached be-
yond the borders of this county. Take
the apple industry for instance; we
can prove beyond n shadow of
dnnhf that 80
acre of 10 year old bearing orchards
have been from $4,000 to $4,000
We have now many acres of bearing
orchards and hundreds OF acres of
young orchards three to FIVE years
old. 1t is necessary to get our pro
duce to market. Are you going to
help us? Or, will you, that have
good passible roads sit idly by and
calmly rejoice In our misery? No,
we believe the taxpayers on the east
side will help us make Box Elder
county what II Is destined to be-one
of the foremost agricultural and hor-
ticultural valleys in the arid west.
The people of the Bear River Val
ley are proud to point to Brigham
City as the cleanest residence town
in Utah. It's municipal light and
water system; its mercantile estab-
lishments and banking institutions
are ornaments to that city. II Is re-
markable, yet true. that bonding of
the city brought about the water
works and the municipal light sys-
tens. Good roads are avenues of
communication and to have these
modern conveniences II Is necessary
to sacrifice selfishness, territorial
clanishness and work for the good of
the whole. To bring about the de-
sired result in BODYBUILDING bond
ing of the county to the full extent
OF the law will be necessary. The
value of the taxable property OF Box
Elder county borders on TO the $40,
600. 100000 mark. which will make
Box Elder county county of the
third class In 1910.
Article IA of the Constitution of
Utah, provides: mo debt in excess
of the taxes for the current year shall
be created by any county or subdivi-
sion thereof, or by any school dis
trict therein, or by any city. town or
village, or any subdivision theeof in
this State; unless the proposition to
create such debt, shall have been sub
mitted to vote of such qualified
electors as shall have paid property
tax therein, In the year preceding
such election, and a majority of those
voting thereon shall have voted in
favor OF incuring such debt"
The wisdom of the organic act Is
clearly shown in the above article
giving to the majority the right to
