uMAPINE, Ore. May lO.-Hudson
Bay Grange No, SOL. patrons OF Hus.
oandry met in regular session on Fri
day night and passed the following
resolutions declaring their opposition
to the proposed $3.50, 600 road bond
issue for the following reasons:
Resolved. to-wit; First, We do not
believe We can eat our cake and keep
it too. Second, that the proposed
bond issue viii! improve only two per
cent Of the roads Of the county max
ing 1t necessary to raise practically
the same amount for road purposes
as has been raised heretofore or re.
suit TO the absent treatment by the
self-styled active Good Roads Asso-
citation. Third, that the proposed
hard surface roads are in the nature
of an experiment and the mainten-
ance of similar roads in other parts
of the United States have proven
very expensive, Fourth, that we re-
gard the maintenance Of our earth
roads of more importance at the
present time than improving a small
portion of our roads to be used prin.
cipally as pleasure boulevards.
Fifth, that the statements that these
hard surface roads will cost but a two
mill tax for fifteen years is mislead-
ing from the fact that it makes no
provision for the maintenance of the
same but will result in a permanent
tax Of four to five mills. The tax /
will prove far more permanent than
the roads; and be it further resolved,
that this grange is not an organiza-
tion of millionaires numbering but
very few among its active members.
