SAYS PROPOSED ROAD
MEANS MUCH TO UTAH
State Engineer Believes Com
nissioners Will Levy Five
Mill Tax,

"The proposed concrete road
through Davis county means much TO
Utah. 1t will not only be an excellent
route between Salt Lake and Ogden,
but it will be an incentive TO good
road building all over the state, and
will appreciably increase the value of
property in all the towns of the county.
Everything depends on the action of
the county commissioners Monday.
SO said L. r. Morgan, state road
engineer, in speaking OF the contem-
plated Davis county road yesterday
afternoon. He is of the opinion that
the special 5-mill tax levy will be made
Those interested In seeing the high
way constructed estimate that the bond
issne would cost each resident of the
county whose property is assessed at
$4,000 about $50. This would probably
be run for twenty years, and they es-
innate that this would increase to $50.
They say that the highest estimate
would make each taxpayer only an ex.
ira S3 @ year. and that the increased
value of the property as the result OF
the new road would lessen this cost.
While sentiment IN regard TO the
bond issue appears to be about evenly
divided at present. according to Govern
or Spry, it is more than likely that fol
lowing the levying of special tax, the
property owners will vote for the bond
issue on which they will have twenty
years time, rather than stand an added
tax each year,

WILL OPPOSE TAX ON
BANANAS IN CONGRESS
Utah Senator and Representative Dc
Not Believe That Their Opposi-
tion Will Do Any Good.

Utah representatives in congress have
notified the fruit dealers Of the state
that they will oppose the proposed tax
upon bananas, which is included In the
administration tariff revision bill,
However, they add, they see little hope
of converting the Democratic powers
to their ideas.
Some time ago a number of the lead
ing commission houses of the state
drew up letter in which they stated
their objections TO the tariff on ba-
nanas. They claimed that it would
iniure the trade by making the fruit
too costly for the average family, while
in the past 1T had been a staple fruit.
They objected on the grounds that Il
tax should not be placed upon a pro-
duet that could not be raised on com
mercial basis in the United States.
Replies have been received from Sen"
ator George Sutherland and Congress
man Joseph Howell. Both state that
they are opposed to the tax and will
keep the matter in mind when the
question is before their respective
houses. But both are of the opinion
that their arguments will be of no avail
against the Democratic majority.
