Payette enterprise. (Payette, Canyon Co., Idaho) 1909-1935, 1917-05-03
VOTE FOR
COUNTY DIVISION
SUMMARY OF REASONS WHY
We BELIEVE PAYETTE COUN-
TY SHOULD Be CREATED.

while in the Deer Flat Country mar
new roads are being built and niue
of our money has been used to bull
them. In The future let US uss TIL
money to place our own roads i
better condition instead of sending
to Caldwell to be used in buildln,
new roas in the other end q, Can
yon County
2. Most of our roads are In
Good Roads District. AS you wei
know. we also have to pay Into I'M
General Road Fund This has beer
practically all used for the bene
az the other end of the County
If Payette County is created VIZ
certainly will not need to pay very
much into our General Road Fund
and, therefore, this item Of expense
will be practically eliminated.
8. Our bridges are mostly all
built and are in a state of good re-
pair, while it is estimated that 1t
will cost Canyon County from $780,
900 to $4,000 within the next two
years for bridges to span the ca
mails and laterals OF the Reclama-
ton Project in the Deer Flat Sec
ton. Our proportionate share of
this expense, if we remain In Can
yon County, therefore, would be
from s2O,OOO.0O to $25 5000. Why not
save ourselves this heavy burden
of expense?
4. Because of conditions it has
TOR years taken a specia levy suf-
ficient to raise about s3500.00 per
year for the Parma Bridge alone.
We certainly do not desire to re-
main in Canyon County just for the
privilege OF helping to pay this con-
tinual expense.
S. Payette County being coun-
ty of the third class it would only
cost a small amount more to pay
all the officers salaries in the
new county than we are now hav-
ing to pay in to Canyon County as
our share of the salaries of officers
paid nnder the law for first cl9ss
county, such as Canyon Couny g
at the present time. Tho QUESTION OF
salaries az officers alone is very
small item as compared with the
other expenses of the County. Es- !
pecially is this SO whcn you SOP
TO consider that some d. the Coun-
ty offices earn more than enough in
fees, recording, ETC., to pay all the
expenses of the office including the
salaries of the officer and his depu-
ties. We are reliably informed that
he Sherif2s office and the Office
Of the County Recorder of Gem
County are more than self-supporting.
b. In Canyon County one of the
large items of expense is mileage.
There is mileage for jurors. There
IS mileage for witnesses. There are
niles for parties litigant. There are
niles for attorneys. There Is mile
lge for the Sheriff and his depu-
les. OF course, we will still have .
mileage in the new county but
would be reduced to practically the
thereby reducing one of a
he large items of expense to prac-
ically nothing.
SECOND: We believe it would be II
matter of great convenience to
very one.
1. The County Records would be
lose at home so that every one in -
ne County could personally inspect :
1em II he or she desired to do 30
nd this with practically no ex-
ense.
z. Not only is the above true,
ut there would be great saving
time to the individuals. A Der
IN could go to the County Seat.
ltend to his business and retur.
ome in a short time. A person =.
'uid be called on the jury, serve
Gay, return home in the evening
time to do his chores. There
ould also be saving of money as W
the case of marginal release of
ortgages Also, saving of money
Tunes where the individual can Gu
'rsonally look alter his matters at ~
e county Seat instead of having
pay some attorney at Caldwell br
look after his matters for him. /
o 1t ought to go long way to-
'rd lessening the many DELAYS .
llcn we now have to contend with br,
liie the County Seat is so far
'ay. 10
