ROAD STATISTICS BY
COUNTY ENGINEER
Where the taxpayers Money Goes
Large Sums Have Been Spent
Every Year

A statement of the money raised in
Chelan county for road purposes and
the manner in which part of it was
spent may be of interest at this time
along the line of good roads.
The first table given shows the
amount raised each year since Chelan
county was organized in 1900. This
is divided into 8 divisions:
1st; money raised for the state
which goes for state roads, state aid
roads and permanent highways.
I'd; road district money which is
used to keep in repair the roads at
present laid out, for grading, culverts,
planking, road machinery, fixing wash
outs, etc. This is the current expense
fund of the roads.
3rd; road and bridge money. In
this county this fund has been used
almost entirely for bridges across the
rivers and gulches in this county, the
Wenatchee, Entiat and Chelan rivers
besides numerous dry gulches.' 1t is
also used for rights Of way and for the
building of new roads.
Money raised for road and bridge
purposes in Chelan county.
The Leavenworth echo. [volume] (Leavenworth, Wash.) 1904-current, 1912-06-21

By the foregoing figures it will be
seen where lions share of the road
and bridge money goes. This list does
not include the $50 or 200 small
bridges in the county.
The extremely heavy drain on the
road and bridge fund in 1904, 1905,
1907, 1908 and 1910 left that fund
$50, 1000 behind at the beginning
1011 or at the time the present Board
of Commissioners took Office. While
it seems unavoidable that the money
should have been spent and that that
condition OF debt should have occur
red still it left the present board handi-
capped for the year 1911 insofar as
the road and bridge fund was concern
ed. By the beginning Of 1912 the
road and bridge fund was practically
out Of debt and there is now balance
to the good.
I will try to give in another article
study Of Highway bridges in general
and of this county in particular as that
question on account of the topography
Of this county is Of vital importance.

More BIewett Mining Trouble

The case of Leo Fawcett against c.
w. Harris for pulling a gun on him, at
Blewett, several weeks ago, was tried
in Judge Rice's court Monday, the
jury returning a verdict of not guilty.
Mr.. Harris in turn started burglary
proceedings against Fawcett and sew
eral Of his associates, but these cases
were thrown out of court.
The cause of the trouble is the
Washington Meteor mining property,
which has been tangled up in litiga-
ton for several years, with each side
trying to get control of the mine.

in Chelan county.

In Chelan county there are o4o.o5
miles of public roads which are divided
as follows:
1st district (WenatcheeM Malaga-Sun-
nyslope-Clockum-Swakane) 1866 M.
2nd district (Cashmere-Leavenworth-
Monitor Dryden Peshastin Wenatchee
Lake-Merritt etc., 231.27 M.
3rd district (Chelan- Entiat-Stehekin-
Antoine) 212.72 M.
The majority Of this mileage is side
hill road and difficult to build and keep
up. To show the yearly increase in
mileage Of roads is growing; note the
following mileage added to county
roads in the past 8 years: 1o10-9.6
miles; 1912 Ito date) III miles;
roads pending 43.7 miles. This in
creasing drain on road money l believe
shows conclusively that it will be a
long time before system OF improved
roads will be built by current taxation.
This is what the county has to con-
tend with in the bridge line.
The following table shows the cost
Of the principal bridges in the county.

shall constantly remember that legisIa-

Of the law and in the insistence upon

platforms and principles. II legislative
representatives win remember that they
are to represent the people and not any
interest whatever. and win be jealous
either enunciated in Democratic plat
forms. or growing out Of the basdc prin-
ctples Of Je6ersonian Democracy. and II
judicial representatives will give us the
perfection Of reason In the light Of to-

strue and not make statutory law
The principles Of Democracy finding
their expression In representative gov-
ernment are now upon trial This II the
last chance that win be given the once
holder to prove himself the servant. and
not the master. Of the people unless he
really serves. Failing to guarantee hon.
est individual opportunity to every man
unhindered and unhelpsd by law. the
people will pronounce representative gov-
eminent q failure and will seek express
sion Of Democratic doctrines under some
other system.
The party appreciates the sravity Of

which II bears II enters not carelessiy

tiers confidently upon its great mission
