ROAD PROBLEM Being
IRONED OUT
Definite Proposition As to State
Highway Expense Coming
Soon.

Gem county's road improvement
proposition had become so beclouded
by all kinds of rumors that a confer
ence of state road officials, the Com
mercial Club road committee and
others interested was held in Boise
Yesterday to endeavor to reach de-
finite understanding. As result,
many rumors of a grossly misleading
character have been run to earth and
the proposition is now in fair way
to be taken up and definite plans for
the campaign made, so that active con-
struction work may be undertaken
early this fall.
Those present from Gem county
yesterday were G. B. Mains and R. E.
Rose. Mr. Mains has been on the job
for several days. His labors have re-
suited in mailing down these two de-
finite propositions:
First. That the Ada county COM
missioners have given positive assur-
ance that that portion of the Star
Mccall highway in Ada county, from
Star to the Gem county line will be |
commenced this fall and completed
next spring, irrespective of whether
the million dollar road bond issue to be
voted upon by Ada county soon is car
ried or not.
Second, That the Boise Commercial
Club has positively refused to sane
ton the construction of a cutoff road
to Horseshoe Bend and will turn all
their support to the Star-McCall road.
Another result of the conference,
with state highway officials, is that
the cost of construction of the state
highway, as given out by the deputy {
engineer who recently made an inspec-
ton of the route, has been greatly ex- {
aggerated, and that the cost will be i
within the reach of Gem county's pro-
posed appropriations. r
With these rumors settled, Gem
road plans, as agreed upon v
at a meeting held last spring, may r
now be considered in a business-liEe
manner, and it is hoped that no time D
will be lost in presenting the matter
If a bond issue to the voters. The f
owners of the county expect
Early action and are ready to express
heir sentiments at the polls.
