GOING SAYS HE WILL FAVOR BOND ISSUE Board Will Call Election If People Want It
  THINKS THE TIME IS RIPE President of Board of Revenue Believes Bond Issue Will Carry OverwheIm- K ingIy-Requests Citizens to
 Take the Initiative
THINKS THE TIME IS RIPE

That the Board of Revenue, he thought, would call an election for the bond issue, provided petition was given them, and that he was oily in favor of such action, were the reiils. Job Going, president of the Board of Revenue, yes terday In discussing the interview and opinions of Ross C. Smith, published yes- terday morning.
 MT. Going said just at this time the finances of the Board of Revenue for road improvement and betterment are somewhat confused, and that he would prefer not to enter into any discussion of them. However, he said as member of the board he indorsed the idea of s1,O00,- coo bond issue and believed if would be approved by the other members of tho board.
 In discussing the betterment of Ieffer- son county roads he said:
 T know that the people of this county want better roads, and believe we should give the people what they want. I think bond issue for s1 ,Ooo,o0O would meet with warm approval by the voters of Jeffer- son county and think it should be called
 ''The method to be pursued in getting an election called Is very simple. The Board of Revenue could call 1t upon their own initiative, but it would be better if we were presented with petition from quali- fled voters. If some persons here would give us one signed by about AGO or 800 per sons I do not think there would be any hesitancy on the part of the board in calling the election.
 If the people of this county are desir- ous, as think they are, to have bond issue for $1,OO0,00O, now Is the exact time to call the election. If we wait until an- other time the conditions may not be half so favorable as they are now. The farmers of the~county and the business man in the cities all attach great value 10 good roads. At this time a sentiment is apparent which has been long crystal lizing and the moment for the calling of an election seems now at hand. I sin cerely trust that some citizens will indi- yidually get behind the petition and pre- sent it to us so we will have a basis upon which to act.
 There is no serious question, in my mind, but that a bond issue would carry overwhelmingly. and the good which would result from fine bikes and roads in this county would be little short of mar velous.'

GOOD OUTLOOK FOR
 BUILDING THIS YEAR
Inspector Matthews Says It Is Some what Quiet Just Now But Expects
 Active Times Soon

While building activities are rather lax at this time,'' said City Building Inspec- tor Matthews yesterday, q expect to sec this year develop into the most pros porous building year in the history of the city. All records were broken last year without any very large structures.
 This time I expect not only great many small buildings and residences. but number of big propositions.
 q believe the million-dollar hotel will materialize this year. and 1t seems that several skyscrapers are already assured.
 Building brings prosperity and success to more people than any other activity It means business for all branches of manufacturers and dealers, and at the same time keeps the skilled workman and the laborer in good spirits"

Good Showing.

Sheriff W. C. Welch has made
final settlement with the State
Auditor of his collections OF 1910
taxes, and has received his que.
ttus. The total State tax assessed
was s., 1910 and he collected all
Of it except $21.54, about two
tenths Of one per cent. The
leyea tax collections were even
better than the State, for out OF
q total tax Of 81, 874.60 he COL
lected all but $3.50 So 50 about one
tenth CT one per cent. This IS
the best record in this parish,
and we venture to say that no
parish in the State can come any
ways near making such a record,
| as these amounts represented
double assessments as well as
property on which he could no'
collect the taxes. The State au-
thorities congratulated both TIE
Assessor and Sheriff WEIGH On
this remarkable settlement.
