casual glance over the rolls; in some
instances as much as 200 per cent. The
rancher and other small owner may be
sure that the large interests Of the
county have fully informed themselves
as to their assessment, and prepared to
make fight wherever the feel ag-
grieved, and the general public should
be as we'll informed and active in looking
after it's own interests.
During the past four days but little
interest has been evidenced in the work
of the board, and practically all the
work done has been on the assessment
of the Incorporated towns. The board
is making personal investigation of
the town of Newport, viewing the diff
ferent properties, and it has already
been determined that radical reductions
must be made in many of the residence
properties, in order to equalize with
values in the business section.

NO SEWER BUILT THIS YEAR
Council Decides to Indefinitely
Postpone Project
Automobile Ordinance Introduced.

The proposal to build the first unit OF
a sanitary sewer system for the town
of Newport received its quietus at the
meeting of the town council Tuesday
evening, when that body decided to In
definitely postpone the sewer project.
After the public hearing on July l0
petitions for and against the project
were placed in circulation, and these
petitions, carrying II signatures OF
property owners against the improee-
ment and only II for, was laid before
the council Tuesday evening. 1t being
evident that a majority Of the property
owners would be opposed to the propo-
sition at this time, and the council hav-
ing no disposition to foist upon the peo-
pie something that they do not want, a
motion to indefinitely postpone the pro-
ject was unanimously carried.
The expense of the sewer matter to
the town up to this time is less than
$3.50. The survey and estimate can be
used at any time when the town is dis
posed to take up the sewer construc-
ton, and in addition the contract for
sewer survey carried with it the survey
and establishment of grades on all un-
graded streets of the town. Practic-
ally all the old survey records of the
past have been mislaid or lost and it
was essential that a new set be secured.
Supt. Balzer, of the l. & w. N. parks,
addressed the council, urging that body
to assist in the matter Of caring for the
railroad park, and arrangements have
been made whereby the town marshals
will take over part of the work of
sprinkling the park during the evening
hours.
A committee of members of the Civic
Improvement Club appeared to request
the council to take some action to pro-
vide hitching posts for the farmers and
a rest room for ladies. In this matter
a committee of the council reported
that arrangements were under way for
for hitching ground on Union avenue,
back of the Town Hall, and that rings
for hitching had been provided at num-
Der of places on Washington avenue.

Improving Railroad Park

Mr.. Balzer, superintendent of the
Idaho & Washington Northern Railroad
parks, has been in Newport several
days this week, making arrangements
for the improvement of the railroad
park.
He plans to make diagonal crosswalks
through the park, plant new flower
beds and shrubbery and make the park
something more than grass plot. Six
hundred plants and shrubs have been
ordered, and work in making the alter
ations is under way. Arrangements
have also been made whereby the park
will receive more attention in the future
than the station employees have been
able to give in the past.
In the center of the park large cir
cular flower bed will be planted, and at
such time as the citizens of the town
desire to erect band stand, the space
occupied by the flower bed may be
utilized for the stand. Benches will
also be provided and an opportunity af
forded the public to enjoy the privileges
of the park, with such restrictions as
may be necessary to preserve the beauty
of the grounds.
| Mr.. Balzer was. formerly city super
intendent of parks in Spokane and is
enthusiastic over his work. In making
trips in the vicinity of Newport he has
discovered number of beautiful shrubs
growing wild in the woods, and is ar
ranging to get supply from this vicin-
! ity for the outside market.

lated to make conclusive showing to
the legislatures of the two states.
The Coast Bridge Co. is one of the
leading bridge contracting firms of the
country, and at the present time they
are engaged in constructing three
bridges across the Kootenai river in
Lincoln county, Montana. They employ
the highest class of engineers, and when
they have completed their engineering
work will guarantee to take contract
to do the work at their estimate.
The proposition will be ready to sub
nit to the legislatures at their 1913 ses-
sion, with all plans and data in shape to
secure speedy and, it is believed, favor
able consideration. The contract with
the Coast Bridge Co. calls for the COM

Start Foreclosure on Conquest

Spokane attorneys, Happy, Cullen,
Lee and Hindman, have started action
in Pend Oreille county court to fore
close on $4,000 mortgage against the
Kootenai Conquest Mining Co. The
complaint alleges that the mining COM
pany gave trust mortgage for $25, 900,
with William Coverley, of II broadway,
New York, as trustee, on March /,
1911; that the mortgage bonds were
sold to various individuals, and that the
company, on March 1, 1912, defaulted
in the payment of interest. Suit is also
entered for $500 being expended in
assessment work on the Is claims owned
by the company. The company's prop.
erty is eight miles north of Newport,
and includes quarter section of land
16 mining claims and equipment that
cost $4,000. At least $40, 600 has beer
expended on the property.

question of building a new Town Hall.

Gil. 1t was brought out that improve
ments were necessary to place the Jail
in sanitary condition, and that large
safe or vault were needed to provide
safe-keeping for the valuable town rec

would be better to erect suitable

WILL MAKE BRIDGE SURVEY
Joint Meeting of Commissioners
at Standpoint.
Plans and Estimates Contracted.

The Board of Commissioners of Pend
Oreille county held joint meeting with
the commissioners of Bonner county,
Idaho, at Standpoint, on Sunday, at
which the question of building bridge
across the Pend Oreille river at New
port was informally discussed.
AS the result of the deliberations a
contract was let on Monday to the Coast
Bridge Co., of Portland, represented by
it's viee-president, George A. Sears, to
prepare plans and specifications for a
steel bridge across the Pend Oreille
river at Newport, between Idaho and
Washington. This bridge is to be ap-
proximately 1900 feet in length, to have
a 2O-foot clear roadway with five-foot
walls on each side, and to have car
rying capacity sufficient for a 17-ton
steam roller. Piers are to be of either
tubular steel filled with concrete or solid
concrete, according to the demands of
the war department engineers.
1t will be one of the longest bridges
in the Northwest of. it's kind, and will
be one of the links in the automobile
highway between Spodane and Glacier
National Park. The Coast Bridge Co.
is to prepare detailed plans and specifi-
cations, make soundings, profiles and
contours, secure permit of the war de
partment and secure approval of the
the completed plans.
1t is the purpose of the county COM
missioners to 60 before the legislatures
of the two states this winter, and ask
for joint appropriation to cover the
cost of this bridge, which, it is roughly
estimated, will be in the neighborhood
of 100000.
The local committee on the work of
securing the bridge, which consists of
Fred L. Wolf, G. F. Craig and John C.
jacobson, has for several months had a
record kept of the number of people
crossing the ferry each day, the totals
for each month being in the neighbor-
hood of $4,000 people, 100 teams and
several hundred autos.

of this kind to demonstrate the need of

TAXABLE VALUE INCREASED
Little Interest Is Manifested Ir
Equalization Meeting.
Board In Session Until Aug. 24th

Since Monday the Board of County
Commissioners, Assessor Purchase and
Treasurer Reid have been in session as
Board of Equalization for the purpose
of going over the tax roll of the county
and equalizing the same. For the first
assessment of Pend Oreille county AS
SCISSOR Purchase made an effort to get
fair and equitable assessment. Field
deputies were given instructions to 90
onto every forty acre piece of ground
in the county, estimate the timber on
the same, and classify the land as to ag-
ricultural possibilities. This has been
done and we believe as fairly as is pos
sible and as a result the taxable valu-
alton of the county will be increased
several million dollars over the figures
of 1911
One fault with the system of assess
ment as carried out through the laws of
the state, is that the owner of real
estate has no means Of knowing what
valuation has been placeds...upon his
property without making special inquiry.
The proper method would be to furnish
every owner duplicate copy of his
assessment and then he would know
whether he had grievance to place be-
fore the Board of Equalization. In
view of this fact it would be we'll for
realty owners to inquire as to what
valuations have been placed on their
lands and then make an appearance be-
fore the Board of Equalization if they
feel aggrieved.
The Board of Equalization is not seek.
ing the appearance of a host of com
plainants, nor endeavoring to shirk
labor, but does realize the fact that
some may feel unfairly dealt with, anc
property owners are therefore advised
to make inquiry as to valuations. Wher
