KELLEY-MISSION
ROAD ESTABLISHED

Friends of good roads will no
doubt be interested to learn that
the Kelley Mission road in Bene-
wah county, Idaho, will soon be
opened up for travel.
This road was a part of the
system of roads established by
Kootenai county with the ap-
proval of the Department Of the
Interior a few years ago, and for
which a subscription was circu-
lated among Tekoa merchants
and business men, but owing 70
ack of funds when Benewah
county was created this road was
one of the last to receive atten-
/ ton, and due 10 the opposition of
one of the allottees who claimed
additional compensation, was per-
milled to be lost sight of for
considerable length of time.
The matter was again taken
up with the Interior Department
at Washington recently. and
through the assistance of Con-
gressman Humphrey has finally
been freed of confusion. The de-
partment has assured Attorney c.
IE. McAvoy of this city, who has
been representing the homestead-
ers living upon and served by
this highway, that the road has
been established and will be re-
served when patents are issued to-
The allOttees.
Nothing now remains but to
grade and fence the road to make
ia available for traffic .-Tekoa

FARM LAND VALUES
ARE TOO HIGH
FRANKLIN X. LANE,
Secretary.

The state board of equalization
was i'm session last week. Up to
Saturday evening it had not def
initely equalized the valuation Of
any class of property as between
counties. Dean Perkins, special
tax agent for the board has rec
commended certain increases and
reductions for the various classi-
fcations, but the board has only
discussed them with county as
SCISSORS and others interested It
has not adopted the recommen-
dations. A synopsis Of some of the
recommendations of Tax Agent
Perkins follows:
Farm land valuations are re-
duced from 8 to 25 per cent i'm
nearly half of the 81 counties in
the state. Ada county received a
cut of 80 per cent in suburban
property, i5 per cent in residence
lots, 10 per cent in business lots
The record. [volume] (St. Maries, Idaho) 1913-1918, 1916-08-22

The commissioners asked for a
horizontal reduction if one was
TO be made. Perkins argued for
a reduction of the property as
classified. He held it, was The
suburban property that was gem
orally sold at tax sales and that
the valuations as reported were
TOO high.
Reductions of 10 per cent i'm
Valuations for agricultural lands
was ordered for the following
counties: Adams, Bannock, Bear
Lake, Boise, Bonner, Boundary.
Cassia, Gem, Kootenai, Oneida

ceived a cut of per cent i'm This
classification C while Franklin was
given a reduction of 25 per cent
Dry lands inf Washington county
were reduced per cent All

ductions. They Vigorously de-
