EDITOR THE RECORD:

EDITOR THE RECORD:
There seems to be some con-
troversy on the road question and
I would like to give my views. We
all know that the month of March
was bad month for our roads,
in fact the high water put all of
the roads i'm very bad condition.
Now, the question is, how are we
going to put the roads in first
class condition; and no money i'm
the treasury. The roads must
be put in good condition so we
will have to find a way to raise
the money. There are two ways
of doing this: by bonding The
county and levying a special tax
for a number of years.
Now let us see where we will be
if we issue 20 year bonds for
.Sl5O,OOO. The amount that has
been suggested to bond the coun-
ty for roads is S15O,OOO. In or
der to meet these bonds a sink
ing fund of $500 would have to
be raised each year besides ST.
500 interest on the bonds, or Sl5,-
COO each year, or 100000 in the
twenty years. Deducting the in
terest on the sinking fund, which
would amount to S44,i3O, leaves
the total cost of the bonds $685.
1870. This leaves nothing for
maintenance of the road during
this entire time and it would be
necessary to raise a special tax
for maintenance each year in ad-
dition to the $4,000 to pay the
bonds.
This does not look to me like
good business, to pay S1O5,87C
for the use of Si5O,OOO. thinl
lcounty business should be han
ldled the same as private bust
ness and no good business mar
would think of handling finance
in that way.
Now, let us see what a specia
levy would do for us. Assessed
valuation of 100000; specia
levy of 3 mills, $4,000 annually
total amount for five years, S225,
600. If it is conceded that $50,
600, the amount of the propose
bonds, is sufficient to build tn
roads, the county would hav

Registration for the fall cleo

Fruit Trees Should
Be Sprayed

Fruit growers are cautioned to
spray for codling moth by State
Horticultural Inspector Guy Gra-
ham, who issued a notice to that
effect. This notice contains the
directions that should be fol-
lowed to make the spray effective.
"The prospect is excellent for
an extremely large crop of fruit
in Idaho this season. While the
frost did some damage, where or
chards were located on low land,
most trees will be so heavy they
will require thinning.
"In order to avoid the great
loss from codling moth which oc-
CURED last season the fruit
growers should take particular
pains to spray thoroughly at the
proper time. While it will re-
quire at least three arsenate OF

have our poll tax and general road

The great trouble has been that
the county commissioners have
been compelled to use the gen
e1al road fund for building new
roads, therefore, there was no
money left for maintaining the
roads built the year before. A
little money had to go a long way.
Now if we use the special levy for
building new roads, widening the
old and putting in culverts on
hillside roads, the poll tax and
general road fund for mainten-
ance there is no reason why we
should rot have good roads all
