A singular case came up before the

ion was asked. He admitted the house
was out Of place. Emil Koyen testi-
fed that he would dispose Of 1t for
$500.
Galley Cohen was on hand and asked
for reductions on his bill of taxes for
apartment houses at Madison avenue
and Fayette street. One Of the houses
was assessed at $4,250. Mr.. Cohen said
1t was-not a good Investment and that
it would sell for $4,000. The other
piece of property was assessed at ST.
600. The applicant said he did not see
fit to dispose of it at that price. Cohen
was sworn In and was the first appli-
cant to testify under oath. Decision
was reserved TO permit the board to
view the property.
Richard Arrowsmith, owner of a
farm in Madison township, was present
to ask for reduction from $4,000 to
81 500. 1t Is understood he was al
lowed a reduction Of $500, making his
assessment $4,000. Mr.. Arrowsmith
quoted assessments of other farm prop
erty In the same vicinity as that of
his property and claimed that favorites
were played in that township when it
came to levying assessments.
1t is understood the following de-
eisions were made in cases against the
City of Perth Amboy: James E. No
Ian, $500 reduced to 5000; Benton Real

Good Roads Talk

Sioux Falls Press-"Connect every
city, town and village in Minnesota
with good roads and you will add
millions to the taxable property of
the state and benefit every resident
and every taxpayer, besides adver-
Using the state to the simmer visit
tors as the most delightful section
of the whole world"
Thus spoke B. F. Nelson, Of Mn
nesota, on his return from the Pacl-
fic coast where he observed what
had been accomplished in California
by good road building. He explain
ed that about four Years ago the
state of California passed a law en-
towering the individual counties to
vote bonds for the construction OF
good roads. Under this law one
county bonded for good roads to the
amount of SO, 800, 000, another for
81, 250, 900, and another for $780,
600. What they have accomplished
is wonderful and the increase in
land values is far beyond the cost
of the road work.
These figures are rather stagger-
ing and the Press wonders what the
farmers Of Minnehaha or any other
county in South Dakota would say
if asked to vote a million or a half
million in bonds to build a system Of
real roads. Yet it has been done in
other places and The Press has yet
to hear Of a case where the people
Of a county which has good roads do
not feel sure that the investment has
been a paying one.
1t costs much less to build good
roads here than in California anQ
for an amount easily within the
credit of the county, and its ability
to pay. all principal highways in this
county could be put in a condition
that would advertise Minnehaha all
over the United States and attract
attention here to such an extent that
land values would be wonderfully
increased. This is not thrown out
as a suggestion with the hope that
it will be Immediately followed.
Present sentiment in this county is
such that it will undoubtedly be
years before road building on a large
scale will be done here. But the
plan Of building none but good roads
and on a complete and connected
system will one day be adopted in
South Dakota counties. They will
be forced into it by the competition
of other good roads localities. Good
roads are coming all over the Unit,
ed States, and the states and coun,
ties which take the lead in the move
ment will profit most thereby.
