HANSEN BRIDGE SUBMITTED

share of both funds. The total bal
ance in both the road and bridge funds
that would be available for repairs
on roads and bridges would scarcely
be sufficient to build the Hansen
bridge, and this would leave the
roads and bridges throughout the rest
of the county without repairs. The
whole thing was, therefore, impractic-
able without a bond issue. 1t was
true that the board had passed the
first resolution for devoting, among
other things, $4,000 for preliminary
work on the bridge in question, but
that year there was a bond issue
which left more of the general fund
apparently available, and the PROPOSE
ton was contingent on the raising by
the state of a similar amount, which
the state failed to do. Later it devel-
oped that the cost of the state high
way was greater than anticipated, and
the funds we're exhausted on trying
to get that into passable condition.
Mr.. Carlson pointed out tina. he
had objected to the passage of the
resolution of September 10, 1915, at
the time that it was adopted, on the
session for another purpose and could
not legally pass any binding resolu-
ton, and that he had suggested that a
meeting be called at later date when
both sides could be heard. He said
that he realized that there was much
opposition in some districts in the
east end to building the bridge at
the point north of Hansen that had
been suggested and said that the peo-
pie there should be heard on the sub
! iect. MIR. Carlson said that he had
been denounced for his stand in re-
gard to a bond issue, but events had
proven the correctness of his position
The resolution, after amendment by
Commissioner Moore had been passed
however, although without legal eff
feet He wanted the bridge built at
point mutually agreeable and the
board had figured on including it in
the estimates for a bridge and road
bond issue for the whole county, unit
they discovered that the situation was
complicated by the fact that while the
residents of the Bull Independent dis
trict would vote on the bonds an(
have to help pay them, it would be i'm
possible for the board to legally diver
any money from such issue into The
treasury of the Bull district. HI
therefore doubted whether in the face
of a possible heavy vote against the
bonds at Bull and the possible defec
ton of part of the east end vote i
the bridge should be situated at ;
site unsatisfactory to voters there, the
bonds could carry. For this reason
the commissioners we're in some doub
as to whether it would pay to proceed
at this time.
Commissioner Moore had Mr.. Nc
MILAN read the part of the minutes
relative to his amendment, inserting
the clause providing the possibilit,
of bond issue into the original reso-
, luton. Mr.. Moore corroborated the
statement of Mr.. Carlson regarding
The Twin Falls times. [volume] (Twin Falls, Idaho) 1905-1916, 1916-08-31
We Are For S. P. Anterior

the doubt into which the board had
been thrown by the fact that the law
prevented the division of the fund with
the Bull highway district, and said
that steps would be taken to have this
law amended at the next session of
the legislature, so that the part of
counties outside the Independent road
districts could be bonded without eth
er levying taxes on the Independent
districts or permitting such districts
to vote in such issues. If this law
were passed the issuance of bonds for
roads and bridges could easily carry
in the rest of the county. Both COM
missioners and the club directors add
ed that they did not mean to assume
that the Bull voters would necessar-
lily vote against the Hansen bridge
bonds if submitted, but the board
members thought that possible con-
tingency, which ought to be taken in
to consideration, as well as the fur
Their possibility that a site unsatis-
factory to a large number of voters
might be the means of defeating the
issue The defeat of-the proposition
once, through premature submission,
might mean its indefinite postpone
ment
Mr.. Moore said that the sum allotted
for bridges was insufficient for or
binary expenses and it was necessary
at this time to take money from the
road fund for bridges over canals,
which strictly should be paid from the
bridge fund All agreed that the gen
eral levy was insufficient for ordin-
airy expenses of road and bridge up
keep.
The club directors took the position
that regardless of the legality of the
resolution of September Is, 1915, the
people of the Hillsdale district had
voted and sold bonds as a result OF
such resolutions, and it was the duty
of the people of Twin Falls to endeav-
or to carry out the spirit of the
pledge 1t was suggested that an eff
fort be made to agree on a site and tC
get authentic figures in regard to cost
If the Hillsdale people would agree or
a site which would satisfy folks in
terested on this side of the river, vel
and good, if they insisted on a definite
site, the directors felt that the propo
sition should be submitted and an eff
fort made to carry the bonds. TIT
commissioners agreed to take the mat
ter up at once, with a view, if posi-
BILE, of submitting proposition a
the coming election.
