Ell PAS0 ENGINEER
PRAISES HIGHWAY

Herbert Num-, formerly city engin-
eer of the city of FL paso, Texas, who
was recently in this city with Mrs
Num-, has the greatest praise for the
Columbia highway.
"It was a revelation to me, he said,
after having seen the great boulevard.
81 have seen the roads of California,
and have built many miles Of highway
in Texas and Mexico, but | have never
seen anything like your highway here.
II Los Angeles had such drive 1t
would maen an immediate increase OF
100, 600 in her population.
"As an engineer, | paid particular
attention to the construction, and from
an engineering standpoint, it is Won
deftul.
81 was impressed with the economy
of the construction. The location is
ideal, and in laying out the road Engin-
eer Lancaster has combined economy
Of construction and scenic advantage.
Nothing has been lost.
"lhen there is the beauty of the
bridges, wall work and culverts, both
from an architectural and utilitarian
standpoint. Everything fits into the
general plan. There is economy and
strength. 1t is a great work, "
In Mr.. Nunn's opinion, the road
should be completed with hard sur
face next season.
1T would be great mistake, he
said. "and poor economy to maeadam-
ize it. The cost of maintenance would
far exceed the interest on the money
required to lay pavement. There
would also be loss in converting the
maeadam surface into base for the
pavement, as much of IL would have tC
bel thrown away, Ii has been my eX'
perienee that this loss ranges from Il
to so per cent. Besides, base formed
from an old macadam is not so salts
factory as the base laid at the time o
paving.
81 should say that the pavement
should be at least lS feet wide. II yoD

RanCher Discusses Library Board
November %, 1914.

November E5, IVA.
Editor Glacier AS one who for years
has been a silent observer and has kept
out of the newspapers, | ask space to
make few remarks relative to our
library. | have recently read copy of
the contract between the City of Hood
River and the county concerning the
management of the library. and it
seems to me that the provision for six
representatives from the city (appont-
ed by the city counciD and only three
from the county, composed of the
county court is not equitale. 1t would
seem that this board should consist of
equal numbers from the city and Co.
AS the matter now stands it would he
possible for our county court to be a
hopeless minority,
The vote just given Mr. Hawkes. for
reelection as county commissioner in
dicates very conclusively that a large
majority of the voters Of this county
have confidence in the court. Why not
give the court, which represents the
county the same representation as the
city has. RancheT

The quick action of simple buckthom

by curing appendicitis, is surprising
Hood River people. Many have found
that this simple remedy drains SO much

relative to the appointment of road
master. think it very good idea to
have one, providing it doesn't cost too
much. We have under our present sys-
tenn of work for a roadmaster but GO to
80 DAYS work, therefore it wouldn't
pay to hire a man by the year at five
per cent of S45, 600. Because, If that
is the amount that the county is rails
ing for road purposes, but about so per
cent of IL is spent on the road.
Road tools, machinery, lumber, cul-
Verts, bridges, repair bills of the same,
and salary of the road supervisors, and
many other expenses usually come out
of this amount. Therefore, you have
not very much left to build roads with,
and If YOU especially hire a high sal
aried engineer for the term of one
year.
We have men here in our valley that
are taxpayers and have the ability to
run level and superintend rock
crusher and road grader and give uni
form system of road building, who do
not depend wholly on salary and
could be hired for such work as the
county court saw fit for their service.
1t won't pay to hire a road master un-
less we have Sl00, 900 or more to spend
on the roads.
have had six years experience in
Hood River county building roads and
lrealize what it is to have good roads
aud how soon our road supervisors can
spend what money they are allowed to
( draw from the county treasury.
( Personally, | am in favor of much
larger road tax. What we are now ex-
pending is barely keeping our roads IN
repair and they are in q very bad condl-
tion, generally speaking.
/ If we should spend a much larger
sum on the roads and have them well
improved we would be able to haul
perhaps twice the amount with the
same power we are using now. We
would lessen the cost of transportation
and we would all be we'll repaid for the
money expended. whereas we are now
operating under the most expensive
system. F. A. Massee.

feet, it might as we'll be only u feet
for traffic purposes.
"Now as to the kind of pavement, it
should be that which has proved to be
the best on your city streets. II is a
fact not generally appreciated that a
country road requires a better pave
ment than city street. The reason
for this is that the country road has to
sustain a heavier load without the curb
protection given a street In addition,
the country road has not the drainage
and does not receive the constant main
tenanCe of the street. "

The federal reserve board states that
at the present time it is unwilling to

variety of forms under which it is is
sued and the variety of purposes for

the country. 1t has, therefore, decided
that single name and double name pa

SUPREME COURT EXEMPTS
MUNICIPALITY OWNED LAND
From a staff Correspondent. !

LINCOLN. Sept. S.-(special Telegram
Property OF the Water Board in Flor
ence is held exempt from taxation by a
decision OF the supreme court.
Judge Hamer. who writes the opinion In
the cases, says:
The statute seems TO be as broad as the
constitution, and both the constitution and
the statutes would seem TO be plain
enough so that there should be no great
doubt as to what was the purpose in
tended. The trainers OF the constitutional
provision must have intended TO exempt
all classes OF municipality owned property.
That would seem 20 be the only fair in
depreciation which can be placed upon the
language used In the constitution and the
statutes. We do not feel at liberty To dis
regard the provisions OF the constitution
prepared by its trainers and adopted by
the people when the instrument was voted
upon and became the fundamental law OF
the state. Neither can we ignore the
legislative expression OF the win OF the
people through their representatives. and
the expressions used In the statute con-
eerning the same matter mentioned in the
constitution. These provisions support
each other There should be no payment
OF taxes by the public upon that which
the people own through their municipali-
ties.

which is the amount for which Il Is being

sense OF the meeting that the extra $40 OOO
bonds for Improvement of the Auditorium
should not be submitted at this time A
committee was appointed to wait on the
city council and convey this opinion to
that body with view to bringing about
the introduction OF new ordinance call
ing for the submission OF bonds in the
sum Of 900 instead OF $4,000.
The Auditorium question. as II now
stands. came up again at the last meet
ing of the Omaha Real Estate exchange.
The proposed purchase OF the Auditor
ium from the present stockholders in the
auditorium company is by no means a
new question. Hitherto. however. much
larger bonds were proposed when a much
higher price was asked for tho property.
Among the most radical against the pur-
chase OF the property was w. II. Green.
w. II. Granam favored the purchase.
Harry Wolf suggested that 1t should be
purchased and that Omaha might be let
ting an opportunity go by for the sake
Of clubbing on small points in the mat
ter. The exchange voted to favor the
purchase at $4,000, but to oppose the
issue Of bonds in the sum of $4,000, as
1t did not think It wise to vote the
extra $4,000 bonds for the Auditorium i'm
provement in the same breath with the
voting Of the purchase price.
