No Heavy Burden.
IL is declared that the assertion to
the effect that the creation of a new
county would overburden the people
of that county with taxation is abso-
lutely without foundation. They
have figures to show that IL the new
county We're created the taxes of the
Fruita and other lower valley people
would not be any heavier than they
are today.
The present county tax levy is 23
mills. The new county would have
an assessed valuation of $2,OOO,OOO
and levy similar to that now in
force in Mesa county would bring in
$4,000. which wond be ample for
the operation of the county govern
ment, providing salaries, road funds,
etc
The people behind this movement
contend that in spite OF the fact that
they pay into the county treasurer in
the neighborhood Of $4,000 taxes
they do not receive for public i'm
provements to exceed 5000 annual
ly. Many OF the supporters of the
movement contend tnat this county
has been flagrantly mismanaged by
lllllSSlOHtIS
for many years, and that the big
road and bridge funds provided by
taxes have been grossly wasted. Much
of the support to the new movement
has doubtless been Gained from the
antagonism of lowesssslley people to
the actions of county commissioners.

large amount of information COM
piled. The plan is to have bill in
troduced simultaneously in both
houses of the Legislature at the COM
ing session providing for the division
OF the new county. The people of
Mesa county do not vote on the prop
osltion. 1t is said that petition
containing more than one thousand
signatures has already been secured
and additional names are being plac-
ed from day to day. Should the new
county be created by the legislature
II would be established some time
during the coming year. II is known
that many men prominent in state,
legislative and political affairs have
been interested in the movement.
Should the new county be created it
would, of course, have to stand its
proportion of all existing Mesa coun-
ty Indebtedness. II is claimed by
many of the committeeman that with
this new county created the area in
volyed would show a wonderful de-
velopment in the next few years and
show an increase of from 1000 to

a new county.
The Sentinel learns from this COM
mittee that the plan is to create
new county from portions not only
of Mesa but of Rio Blanco and Gar
field counties as well. The new
county would be about ~ miles long
with an average width of about "a
miles. 1t would be bounded on the
west by the Colorado-Utah line and
extend as far east as Copeco. the big
ranch belonging to Il. II. Craven and
the eastern boundary would run
north and south along the township
line with slight jogs at various
points. II would reach Routt county
on the north and Montrose county on
the south.
II will include "a miles square of
territory in Garfield county and a
narrow strip in Rio Blanco county.
lhe Mesa county precincts that would
be Included in the new county would
be Fruita, Iona, Rhone. a small por-
ton OF Pomona. all of Glade park and
the Sindbad valley.
The new county would have an as
sessed valuation of $2.O0O,OO0 to
begin with, according to the commit
tee. 1t would have a population of
about 1000. The Fruita citizens con-
tend that the new county would be
larger in population, assessed yalua-
tion and area than at least twenty
other counties and would begin its
. history under more favorable cir
cumstances than at least forty coun-
ties in Colorado began their exist
ence.
1t is contended that the creation

tion of Mesa county.
They contend that a division is de-
sirable because of the fact that the
residents of all of the precincts in
the proposed new county have in
terests in common and are directly in
touch with the town of Fruita. They
present large group of reasons
maintaining their stand in a cam
