GENESEE ROAD
DISTRICT CARRIES
OVERWHELMING M A ] 20 RI T Y
VOTES FOR FORMATION OF
DISTRICT-308 TO "a

The good roads movement in Latah
county started with whoop Saturday
when the first election for the forma-
ton of road district was held for
the purpose of taking action on a
proposition to build 81 miles of hard
surfaced road in what is to be known
as the Genesee highway district. The
proposition carried by a vote OF 30S
to "a or more than IL to one.
The proposed highway district con-
tains $4,000 acres of rich farm land
and has an assessed valuation of more
than $1,5OO,000. The proposal which
was endorsed by the property own
ers and tax payers of the district yes
terday, is to cover the district with a
net work of hard surfaced roads
reaching the market towns and COW
ering the district with main line
and branch roads.
The whole county is becoming IN
terested in road building and the pros
poets are that Latah, which has been
behind many other counties, will soon
take the lead in good roads. At a
good roads meeting held at Kendr1ck
$4,000 in cash and labor were pledged
to improve the road between Kendrlck
and Juliaetta. Bear ridge farm own
ers are planning for highway dis
trict and petition for its forma-
ton is being circulated. The Kend-
rick Gazette says of the matter:
"At a good roads meeting held on
Big Bear ridge last Saturday after
noon. the preliminary work was done
for the formation of good roads dis
trict that would include practically
II 1opJ tho r-1dOP
Conscientious objectors were in the
main absent and the sentiment crys-
tallized in favor of the district when
a petition was presented for the sig
natures of all property owners pres
ent.
"Alec Galloway has been taking the
initiative and he stated that since
the meeting nearly every land owner
on the ridge had signed the petition
and that he expected the district
would be formed with almost the
unanimous support of the farmers on
the ridge.
"The object of the good roads dis
trict as stated in the petition, which
will be presented to the county COM
missioners at their April meeting; is
for the purpose of building and i'm
proving the roads within the district
and to survey, lay out and construct
a highway upon the most practical
grade from Bear ridge to the town
Of Kendrick.
''It is proposed to eventually surface
the roads with crushed rock and
gravel. 1t is believed that a grade
approximately five per cent can be
secured that will serve the interests |
Of all residents of the ridge in sat
sfactory manner.
"The assessed valuation of the dis
,rict is 1910 ,444, according to the
,qualized assessment of 1918. Mr..
Galloway believes that with a maxi
mum tax levy all the roads on the
'idge can be put in first class shape |,
Without bonding the district"

the Russian government there has ac-
cepted the offer from Japan to fur

the Bolshevik difficulty. This step,
it is said, is due to the reports of the

Princes Islands conference will re-
suit in recognition of the Bolsheviki.
In return for the aid, the report
