Commissioners Return
Ready to Build Roads
Tour Thr uSOuthern Idaho Shows the
Advantages of Native Ma
terials in Bingham County
WORK TO COMMENCE SOON

The county commissioners, M. A.
Fugate, R. G. Bills and James
Christensen, with the county clerk,
F. M. Fisher, returned in their car
from tour of southern Idaho Mon
day evening" well pleased with the
flying trip and all primed to go
ahead with Bingham county road
construction.
They found excellent and cheap
roads made of gravel and clay, such
materials as are plentiful and handy
in this county. The best models of
this sort of road were in Power
county and in the vicinity of Buhl
and Burley. According to their OBJ
servations the best gravel is that
which has an admixture of black
sand, and this with certain amount
of clay makes smooth, hard sur
face.
Work to Commence at Once
In the Buhl section, center of
road-building activity, property went
up as much as $25 an acre immedi-
ately after the construction of a road
thru it, and as far as ten miles out
Of Buhl property is selling at $275
an acre, since the new roads were
completed.
The commissioners are commenc-
ing at once to arrange for labor and
materials for the first of the new
roads in their respective districts.
E. M. Christensen, consulting en-
gineer and supervisor of all road con-
struction under the present county
program, is at Aberdeen to assist in
Col. Fugate's preparations. R. G..
Bills, with the help of a road expert,
whom he has sent after, will begin
operations on the stretch of road be-
tween Blackfoot and the Snake river
bridge. This latter road is to be
full width, gravel and clay. James

estate men, seeking information re-
