MAY IMPROVE
MAIN STREET
PROPERTY OWNERS SIGN Pc
Triton FOR MACADAM OR
CONCRETE PAVING.
NOW UP TO TOWN COUNCIL
May Be Able to Start Work on
Main Street This Fall.

At a meeting to be held this eve
ming it is quite probable that the
town council will decide whether or
not work will be started this fall
upon improving Main street with
matchmaking or concrete.
A petition asking the council to
proceed with the paving was circu-
lated Saturday and was generally
signed by the property owners of
Main street. 1t is understood that
this petition will be presented to the
board tonight.
Interest in having the work of i'm
proving Main treet was started when
it was announced that the council
planned to put in wooden cross walks
before the fall rains began. The
business men and property owners
of Main street who are interested in
seeing Main street permanently i'm
proved felt that if wooden cross
walks were put in they would be
unsightly, would not be much better
than cinder walks and would be
harder to keep clean and that the
work would entail a waste of money.
1t is the general opinion on Main
street that no concrete work should
be done at all this fall. The major
ity who signed the paving petition
expressed themselves as favoring hav-
ing a rock foundation put in this
fall and then complete the concrete
work next spring. 1t is being argued
that the dirt which must be removed
from the street before any foundation
of rock is put in should be placed
on side streets at the expense of the
town and that the property owners
should only be required to pay on {
frontage basis for the rock fili anC
later for the concrete work. This is
the attitude the council will probably
take in this matter also.
Not all the business men of the
city favor paving or any improve
ment work at this time. 1t is ex
pected that those favoring permanent
work and those opposed will be pres
ent at the council meeting tonigh
and so give the council an idea O
the sentiment for and against thu
paving plans.
Those favoring paving claim tina
the work to be done this fall can b'
put in very cheaply. 1t is argued
that the county-city rock crusher can
be used to advantage and that thu
cost of putting in a layer of heav!
rock and rolling it and then putting
in. layers of finer rock and rolling
will not be high and that the stree
will then be in passible condition
next spring.

Delightful Bridge Party Friday

Mr.. and Mrs. George r. Gray en-
tertained some forty of their friends
Friday evening at a most pleasant
auction bridge party which was CIV
en- in honor of Mr.. and Mrs. w. d.
Baxter.
This social function will stand
out most prominently among those
of the season as an enjoyable oc-
casion. The color scheme was yell
low. The card games entertained
for a couple of hours and then the
hostess was assisted in the serving
of a delicious lunch by the Misses
Maclin, Chestek, Gambs and Mrs.
E. M. Flood.
After the luncheon the prizes for
the highest scores at the card games
were awarded to Mrs. A. A. Publ
and Otto Mathiesen. The prizes
for the second highest scores were
won by Mrs. and Mrs. E. M. Flood
Mr.. and Mrs. Baxter were presented
with beautiful guest prizes.
At the close of the evening the
guests were entertained with a short
musical program, Miss Laurel Gleed'
entertaining with several instrument
tai selections, and Mrs. F. A. Shul'
tbs and c. w. King in vocal mum
bers.

been completed aggregating $123,650,
while loans have been paid off in the
sum of $125,S73 and that the state
invested in school bonds in that time
$47,027, while school bonds were paid
off to the state for a similar period
in the sum of $99,683.
"To claim that Idaho cannot loan
$750,000 more on farm lands at six
per cent, where there is over $780,
100000 borrowed on farm lands in
the state at an average rate of lit
tie over nine per cent, and when the
government can get applications for
over 100000 of loans within a
couple of months, is certainly admit
ting the obsoleteness of the land
boards methods of doing business for
Idaho" says the report.
The need of board of land COM
missioners to handle the ever in
creasing work of the land department
is advocated in his report. The same
recommendation has been made from
time to time by state officials who
have been members of the state land
board or whose relations have placed
them in observation of the archaic
conditions surrounding them, partly
by provision of law and partly by the
methods employed in conducting their
business.-Sandpcint Review.

produced. Each dollars worth of de-
velopment and equipment has cost
81 cents. The average number OF
men employed was 40.
The company produced $3.50 by
estimate in handling 1000 cubic yards
of gravel, according to the report
of Superintendent Pettijohn. The

SHOULD FAVOR
FARMERS MORE

One day recently State Treasurer
Eagleson criticized the state land
board for the methods of its loans
and pointed to the large increase of
state money subject to farm loans.
Governor Alexander challenged the
treasurer to show how any better
work could be done and Mr.. Eagle
son replied that one method of get
ging more money out into the hands
of the farmers would be for the land
board to cease its favorite pastime
of cutting down the appraisers fig
ures when the application for loan
came before the board.

elaborate written report to the board
in which he reviews the archaic sys-
tenn prescribed for the procuring of
loan from the state and criticizes

nally run the preliminary gauntlet

per cent of the amount asked for
From January to July l the pres

amount there have been warrant

the bones of his right arm set by
DIR. Fry. The accident occurred Sat
urday night at the railway crossing
leading from the county road to the

Mr.. Cossairt was riding caused him
to be thrown out. He struck the
ground in such a manner as to break
the homes of his right arm between
the elbow and wrist.
