VOTE FOR THE BONDS

Whether Montpelier is going to stand
still or take big step forward de-
pends upon the action of the taxpayers
of the city at the bond election, which
has ben called for by the city council
for Tuesday, January s. The eoun
ell asks for the issuance of only $ls,-
500 in bonds, the money will be used in
opening South Tenth street, clearing
the triangle of the barns and tho old
shaeks which have so long been an eye
sore to the city and converting the tract
into park, and the purchase of a tract
of ground on Main street for city park
We can conceive of no ground for
opposing any of these tire propositions.
The keeping of South Tenth street clos
ed has ben a detriment to the city for
many years. The street could, and il
should have ben opened 10 years ago,
at which time the cost would have
been much less than it is today. But the
question of cost should not cause any
enterprising citizen to vote against the
proposition. We venture the prediction
that if the stret is opened business
blocks will be erected on each corner
within two years. The taxes which will
be derived from these buildings will
alone more than pay the interest on the
bond issue, TO say nothing of other new
buildings which will be erected on South
Tenth street.
The converting of the triangle" from
an unsightly spot to one of beauty
should be an incentive for every quail
fled voter to register his or her approx
al Of that portion of the bond issue
The question of purchasing the pro
posed plot Of ground on Main street for
use as a city park should also receive
the unanimous aprOvel Of those who
are qualified to vote. Montpelier is one
of tie very few cities in Idaho that has
no park and il never will have unless
APPROVAL is given for the purchase Of the
land in question. The site is an ideal
one for a park, and can be converted
into beauty spot at a moderate cost.
The present administration was elect
cd on a platform advocating these i'm
prCvements. II has gone as far as it
can and it is now up TO the voters to en-
dorse the action of the. administration
" voting for the bond issue. Every one
of the 60 odd members of the Boosters
club should get behind the proposed
bond issue and see that it receives more
than the necessary two-thirds vote on
January 8.

men at Mt. Sherman camp had made
snow shoes before starting out. Their
efforts were not rewarded till Saturday

found partly buried in the snow. After
his body was dug out it was learned
that his right ankle was broken when
