COULD CUT EXPENSE

The question of the employment of
a special engineer to care for the var
ious county engineering problems is
.one which viii bear little argument.
For about tive years the county commits
sioners have been paying salary to a
special engineer imported from Boise.
At the same time the county surveyor
is supposed to be at the service of the
county board for just such work 1t
would look on the face of things that
the consulting engineer is superflu-
GUS and unnecessary. 1t looks like a
slap at the engineering ability of the
county surveyor to employ AN extra
man to do what is considered the true
duties of the surveyor Either one
of the two should be discontinued in
the interest of economy.

THIS LABEL

The question of bridge building
across the Snake river is of enough
importance to justify the use of calm
reasoning. 1t should be decided with
out community prejudice i'll the in
terests of the greatest number 0t
people. When this is DONE there is
little need for neighborhood strife
or fractional feeling The Times in
discussing the proposed bridges across
the Snake river, bridging the gap be-
tween two or more counties and
groups of taxpayers, wishes to make
it's position clear so that no thought
of personal desires on the Part of the
editor may enter into the minds OF
the Times readers. This paper must
because Of its wide county circulation,
rise above loyalty to the city of Twin
Falls II 1t is going to serve all of its
patrons For this reason, While the
placing of some of the bridges will
primarily benefit this city more than
others, The Times believes that the
bridge which will benefit all alike
should have first consideration. There
is no thought of anything save friend
ship for the people of the communities
with whom the Times must Mt this
time disagree,
When the plan of Il high bridge
across Shoshone falls was first breach
ed as feasible, every man, woman and
child in the entire county was impress
sed with its worth to the entire Twin
Falls country. But a half to three
quarter million dollars cost made this
roseate dream rapidly fade, But the
thought of the value in that bridge
that of rim to rim crossing-has
always been the uppermost idea in the
minds of the people of both sides Of
the river To cut out the dangerous
and costly pull up and down the
grades has been the aim of every high
way enthusiast in this section. When
the matter of a rim to rim bridge at
probable cost of seventy or eighty
thousand dollars was brought out il
met with no opposition, because OF
the above idea. The Times holds that
today the same opinion exists with
the people of Twin Falls county ant
that there is little if no opposition tt

because of this one idea, irrespective
of its location. The Times is not OBJ
posed to the building of the other
bridges, if they can be secured in due
time, But it looks like false economy
to spend six thousand here and ten
thousand at another place and six
thousand at another, until the re-
sources for such purposes have dissi-
pated in so many directions that the
bridge most popular and most general
ly demanded is pushed back into the
future too far. The Times does not
believe that the idea of costliness of
the rim to rim bridge is the real OBJ
stacle in the way of its building, but
rather individual and perhaps some
community selfishness. There is no
question but what the bridge at Twin
Falls will be of greater benefit to the
business interests of Kimberly and
Twin Falls city, provided it can be
made passable for heavy travel but
that is not the real question, The
Times believes that its duties to the
other communities is Just as binding
upon it as to this city. The rim to

able for all people, while the setting

in the matter, that it will, when the
three bridges can be financed that it
will work Just as energetically for
the two grade bridges.

thus:
For the removal of any doubts, the
