EQUALIzE SEWER
ASSESSMENTS
Town Board of Aldermen Heard Pro-
tests on Sewer Assessments on
Wednesday
PARK ADDITION IS LEFT OUT
Residents Will Have to Pay Pro-rata
Sewer Tax

Between forty and fifty taxpayers
of Bonners Ferry attended the meet
ing held Tuesday night by the town
board of aldermen for the purpose
of hearing and investigating objec-
tions to the assessment roll of Sewer
Improvement District No. 1. Two
written protests were filed, the first
in behalf of the l. o. o. F. lodge
concerning residence property on
Kootenai street and the second by
residents of Park addition. The
board took up all oral protests
brought to its attention and on the
22nd visited the properties concern
ing which protests had been made.
Wednesday afternoon the board again
met for the purpose of considering
protests. Most of the protests which
have been filed have been settled
to the satisfaction Of all concerned.
Some of the protests made are still
under advisement but will be acted
upon shortly by the councilmen in
conjunction with the members of
the Sewer Commission.
The protest filed by the residents
Of Park addition was signed by 81
property owners. Probate Judge
Charles O'Callaghan, the largest in
dividual property owner of Park Ad-
dition, presented the protest and, as
sisted by Attorney E. M. Flood, pre-
scented the objections of the Park Adj
dition taxpayers. Judge O'Callaghan
claimed that the assessments Of Park
addition were unreasonable and OPP
pressive and together with Attorney
Flood presented the claims in full
of the Park addition residents.
At this meeting the town board
changed number of assessments
where clerical mistakes had been
made in preparing the assessment
roll due to changes in ownership and
dedication of parcels of land for
public uses, etc.
1t was brought out that a number
Of lots in the city were being as
ocootd Wiicii, do q HldlteT OF 1dcJ, the
lots lay in hollows so low that it
would be impossible to serve them
with sewer unless the pipe was
laid on the surface of the ground.
Wednesday afternoon the members
of the town council practically COM
pleted their work of adjusting the
sewer assessments and it is expected
that the assessment roll will be fin
ally affirmed at an adjourned meeting
to be held next Monday.
In the matter of the protest of the
Park Addition residents it was de-
cided to do away with the laying of
trunk lines and laterals. Riverview
addition will be served with trunk
sewer which will end at the Frank
Chestek residence on the brow of the
hill. The Park addition residents
will be required to pay their pro rata
share Of the trunk line and the outfall
and septic tank This arrangement
is considered a fair adjustment by
the majority of the residents of Park
addition.

chance to lose any money. If they
don't win the piano they are sure to
win one of the lesser merchant s
prizes which will surely be good
pay for the time they have spent.
But the contestant that does win has
a full 80 days of hard work ahead of
her. From now on there will be no
way of telling which is ahead. 1t
is just matter of working the best
each one knows how and not passing
up a single opportunity to ask for
merchants coupons and for subscrip-
tions to the Herald. Don't let a
single opportunity pass by. 1t might
mean that an opportunity lost would
lose the piano for you or your friend.
1t certainly should be easy for each
contestant to get many new and re-
newal subscribers to the Herald. Re-
member we will give a fine leather
pillow top to each contestant who Sc
cures IL new subscribers. When the
contestants are asking their friends
for renewals or new subscriptions
they should, by all means, carry a
copy of the Herald and the sample
copies of the Woman's World, House
hold, Farm Life and Home Life.
Contestants may offer all five for
one year for $3.50. The only consid-
Grafton is, in Offering. the premiums
of the four extra magazines, that the
person getting them must pay his or
her subscription for one year in ad-
vance.
Any contestant who has not copies
of the free magazines offered as
above should get the same at the
Herald Office at once.
Don't wait in your final campaign
for the prize $400 piano. Start in
today, if you have not already done
so. Make up list Of everyone you
know and get similar lists from youi
friends and then keep at it until you
get their renewals or new subscrip-
tons. If they haven't the money

The present standing of the vari-
Gus contestants in the piano contest
really gives no idea just who will be
the final winner when the last count
is made on or about January 20, 1916.
A few days work on the part of the
contestant having the least number of
votes would easily put her up or
ahead of the leaders. Just by pick
ing out 25 or 80 of her friends and
acquaintance and securing their sub
scriptions to the Herald would alone
bring in from 1880 to $4,000 votes.
There is just a month now in which
to work. This coming month will
be the final test of which Of all the
contestants entered have the perse-
verance and stick-to-itiveness which
is required to get anything worth
while in life. The contestant who
wins the prize s400 piano will have
made the easiest money she ever Sc
cured. The contestants have no

CHANGES in
LAND OFFICE
State Officials Plan to Re-organize the
Work Of the Department About
January LIST.
WILL MEAN GREAT ECONOMY
Department Is Now One of Most In
portant In the State.

Boise, December Exchanges of
an important nature are scheduled to
take place in the state land Office
on or about the first of January.
The states land office will be moved
into the new capitol building and the
work centralized. At the present
time the land Office work is being
done in three departments, in the
Office of the register, the office of
the land commissioner, and the state
treasurer's office. 1t is claimed that
by centralizing these Offices several
clerks and stenographers can be dis
pensed with, effecting considerable
saving. Just what the amount of
the saving will be can not be fore
told until the system is put in opera
ton. 1t is claimed that by having
the Offices of the register and COM
missioner in one room one set Of
clerks and stenographers will answer
for both officials where two sets are
now required. The same claim is
made of the treasury clerks now en-
ployed in land office work.
The work of reorganizing the land
department was started while Lieut.
Governor Taylor was acting governor
and is the outgrowth of a movement
started at that time for economy,
efficiency, convenience and economy
in handling the work of the land of
flee, which has grown to be one of
the greatest institutions in the state.
The question may be asked why
these changes were not made long
ago if there be room for a reduction
of expenses and an opportunity for
greater efficiency. The answer is
that the business of the department
has grown so enormously that any
organization attempted has out
grown itself every few years. New
divisions were added from time to
time as the business increased, and
these had to be added to as the years
went by, and arrangements that
seemed adequate a few years ago
have been entirely outgrown.
The following figures will give
some idea of the great volume OF
business that is transacted by the
states land office:
There are 1904 farm loans in force
representing s2,564 1904. During
the current year 154 mortgages have
been completed, representing 1852,
470.
The value Of the school bonds helC
is $2,397 ,241.69.
Money received to date from thu
sale of timber lands, 81 ,417 800.
Land sales, most of which are upol
time contracts now running, amour
. to over 100000
The acreage under lease now il
/ force amounts to 1,049,072.
The actual cash receipts of tn
state land Office for the current yea
. amount to 81 PIT ,432.40.
