District Clerk.

There are a few suits being nled,
preparatory to the April term OF
court but they are coming in slowly
and up to this week things have been
duh for the district clerk. Mr. jeff
coat attributes the customary dearth
of business this time of year to the
fact that farmers are busy getting
in their crops and people in town are
planning building, painting and a
general cleaning UP, and are all so
occupied with other matters tney
have not time for trouble. On the
other hand to prove his theory he
points to the number of suits filed late
in the fall and during the winter. lie
says unless something unusual hap
pens there probably win not be many
suits before the next term of court.

petitions for hard surfaclng with
brick or concrete the Golden Belt
from Abilene to Chapman are being
circulated, having been approved by
the state highway commission. The
district extends on the east of Abb
lene half way to the Enterprise road.
East of Detroit II takes In land south
of the river which will be reached by
n new bridge over the Smoky Hill be-
tween Enterprise and Chapman. The
road will be entirely on the north side
of the U. p. r. X. between Detroit
and Chapman.
County Engineer Karl Riddle has
prepared some official figures on the
cost Of a hard surfaced road. 1t is
based on the cost of road costing
$40. 900 mile. Probably this Is ex-
cessive but is taken as basis TO ne
on the safe side. The estimate Is one
furnished for the Golden Belt be-
tween Abilene and Chapman, an IS
foot brick or concrete road with a
1O-foot earth road beside 1t for tract
or traffic. The average width OF the
district is 4 milestone distances
are s or 0 miles, depending on the
location of the road. Mr.. Riddles
estimate follows:
Cost of road $40, 100000 per mile
Paid by govt. 100000 per mile
Paid by county 12.5O0.00 per mile
Paid by township 6,250.Oo per mile
Paid by district 6,250.OO per mile
Average cost as estimated to each
acre and quarter section in the dis
trict for special tax without interest.
These figures are as carefully es-
timated as is possible in anticipating
the action Of the Board Of Appraisers
who win appraise the land In accord
ance with the benefits derived from
the improvement.
The total cost Of the eleven miles
of improved highway will be divided
by the total appraised valuation Of
the land within the district and

A few nights ago the city Of Hope

mysteriously cut off and many were
the complaints against the service.
Repair men were sent out from Abb

tracing the lines they found that
some one had tossed piece Of baling
wire into the light company's distri-

lights to be burned out and nearly
costing one workman his life as the
wire crossed the current with other
lines. The repairs cost over 500

OF course as said before, the ap-
praised values are in relation to the
benefits derived and not representing
any true value of the land.

year on 100 acres, $3.50 ;|tOtal on 100

If the state good roads amendment
carries, the state will pay % per cent
of the total cost of the road, reim-
bursting counties and districts to that
extent for all roads built after March
II, 1910.
When 1t is remembered that up

farmer will be eager to put the plaI
