BLEuaa1sITy EXPRESS THEIR
VIEWS.

all Of President Hussman the
At Ine an and advisory committees OF
slno ecasns Good Roads Association met
dssasnseyile saauU yesterday with an at
ulau laaas in the neighborhood OF one
ndsn.I ,.a there being representatives
nai'% o,ar the entire county. The
|on i,S Wv, was for the purpose of getting
fe'ns ~ to the needs of the various sec,
y !, a If the county in the way OF good
pns y and as to what they would re-
a. - af sHt tbe proposed $5oO,Ooo bond is
n' .Od " while but few communities
'na nrsnared at this time to make
~ rth;pg like an authentic report ON
matter there was much good
.lansd and as a result of the ses-
'y Yesterday another step well in ad-
u: hos been taken in the matter OF
,tipe riu better roads for Idaho county.
Tha river section, the seven towns
highway districts of the country
Sotorv TO the Clearwater river, had
ausrei an estimate as to amount OF
money obtained from the sale of
bonds they would require for road
rr,oyements down their way and while
srst II struck those in attendance
4 tbe meeting as rather high as COM
,e1 with the total amount to be ex-
|pn1ed when it was made known by the
sDresentatives from that section that
Iev would support measure for a
[nd issue much in excess of the amount
roOosed different view was taken of
! matter. A belt road from Grange
IN by the way of Harpster, Sites,
foOskia and Kamiah and connecting
N Of Kamiah with the North and
5Outb highway was asked, the estimated
hi Of the same being in the neighbor-
bod of $4,000 and then an expendi-
ire Of another hundred thousand on
bterals in the tributary country was
kked. This amount seemed pretty
Igh to the causual observer but the
from that section stated
bey we're asking no more than could be
kised by voting bonds in the several
highway districts and felt there was a
tessing demand for roads from the
bountry to the markets along the Clear
Water line.
The Grangeville highway district
Fhich was represented by John Powell
|nd others from the city of Grangeville,
hated at this time they had not been
Sble to secure sufficient data upon
khich to make statement as to the
bquirements of this section but the pre-
|umption is the demands will not be
|s heavy as might be expected. The
people of Grangeville and the Grange
Fille highway district, while sharing
kith Cottonwood the honor of being in
BE front ranks of heavy taxpaying
|lstricts of the county, realize in order
p secure better roads too much must
Dot be expected by the various Localities
lnd stand ready to submerge all selfish
interests in the issue, a stand that is
llso taken by the Cottonwood highway
Plstrlet and the people of that city
Fho are willing to consider the other
Fellow as well as themselves and stand
|eady to bear their share Of the burden
Pf assisting people who are less for.
|uhateiy situated in the way of an easy
Pountry to build good roads in and
Flose taxing value is not as high.
10 Blake, as a representative of the
'heuteryille Highway district stated
'Ae demands of their section would be
!atner small providing the state high
NY went through a certain section OF
I|nelr district which in that case woulG
