COMMISSIONERS REJECT
ALL BIDS ON ROAD BONDS

Saturday, afternoon, the Canyon
county commissioners rejected three
bids which had been submitted on
sci, 900 worth of county bridge bonds
which had been placed on the market.
All bids were considered too low.
These bonds were the remaining
portion OF the $4,000 issue authorized
some time ago. There was no partic-
ular need for selling them at present
and the commissioners determined to
hold them until the bond market i'm
proves.
These bonds bear no relation to the
Pickle Butte bridge. Funds for that
structure have already been appro-
priated by the county and are now in
state hands. According to the May
bulletin just issued by the highway
work will begin shortly
on the Pickle Butte bridge.

COUNCIL DETERMINES TO
CONTINUE PAVING WORK

Last Friday evening, the city council
after a protracted meeting voted to
continue paving operations on Cleve
land boulevard contrary to the orders
of Louis c. Kelsey, consulting engi-
neer, who has been engaged to super
intend that work. Mr.. Kelsey last
week ordered the work stopped until
Cleveland boulevard should dry thor
oughly. At the council meeting he
advocated placing drain pipes under
the pavement near each curb, asserting
that the paving would never be first
class nor give first class service unless
this was done.
Mr.. Kelsey said that the fact that
irrigation bitches paralleled the pave
ment on either side, bitches which
could never be made entirely water
tight, made imperative the installation
of drain pipes.
A contrary view was advanced by
F. L. Lockwood, regular city engineer.
It was almost 2 o'clock Saturday
morning before the council determin-
ed to uphold Mr.. Lockwood and per-
NIT the work to continue without 60
ing to the additional expense of put
ting in drain pipes. Something in the
contract with the Warren Construc-
ton company interferred with making
the change now.

TODAY LAST DATE TO
DIG UP INCOME TAX

Second payments on income taxes
must be paid today, June Is being the
last day designated for receiving the
second installment due on 1919 taxes,
according to a statement made last
week by Lewis Williams, internal rev.
enue collector.
BILLS have been mailed to- tax
payers" says Mr.. Williams, who con-
tinues,
unlike those of last year, the
bills are non-detachable and are ex-
pected to be returned intact, accom-
panied by check or money order.
Payment in this manner is par
ticularly desirable. It helps the tax
payer by saving him a trip to the
office of the collector or branch Of
fee, and it helps the government by
avoiding congestion at the cashiers
window dring the last few days pre-
ceding the date of payment. Besides
a check is receipt.
Failure of a taxpayer to receive
a bill does not relieve him of his
obligation to pay his tax within the
time specified. To avoid penalty and
interest the tax must be in the office
of the collector or branch office on
or before June Is.
"Check or money orders should be
made payable to Collector of Internal
Revenue. Payments may be made at
the office of the Collector, Boise.

wells Assessed Valuation;
County Wealth Climbing

Caldwelps assessed valuation for
will exceed that of 1919 by at least
$250,0OO, according to an estimat2
1920 will exceed that of 1919 by at
least $25O,00O, according to an estimate
made Saturday afternoon on the basis
by George Oylear, countw assessor.
Mr.. Olyear asserted that this was a
conservative estimate and that the f.
nal role would find this amount con-
siderably increased.
County assessment work is virtual
ly complete, Mr.. Oylear said Satur-
day Only small amount of work
remains to be done in the vicinity of
Caldwell to clean the slate. The as
sessment roll report will be made June
% when it is due.
Nampa Also Jumps
County valuation is expected to
show an increase about in proportion
to that of Caldwell Last year, the
assessed valuation Of property in this
county was about $23,0OO,0O0 and it is
conhdentally expected that this year
that amount will be swelled to more
than $25,000000 after deductions are
made by the county commissioners,
sitting as board of equalization.
Caldwell's 1919 assessment stood at
$2,6l7,364. This year, is vii, closely
approach $5,0OO,0OO.
In Nampa, an even more marked
increased is anticipated, estimates
placing the assessed valuation for
1920 above that of 1919 at not less
than 100000. Even this amount is
likely to be exceeded, A consider
able portion of this increase is due
to the fact that substantial additions
were made to the assessments levied
against lots and other town property.
In Caldwell, no such increase was
made this year.
Explanation for the increased value
OF the county assessment by Mr.. Oy-
lear make the point that it is not
alone new building which accounts for
it. Livestock, land values, merchan-
disc and many items share with the
building increase. About 1000 more
assessments are listed this year than
in 1919, indicating healthy increase
in the number of property owners in
Canyon county.
Many New Autos
Automobile licenses also show a biz
jump over the 1919 figures. Already.
with the year not half gon, 7o5 more
licenses have been issued than were
issued in 1919. Thus far the total
this year is 1916 and this number will
undoubtedly be materially added to
before 1921. Each of these automo-
bile licenses means a tax of average
$lS. OF this amount, Is per cent goes
to the state and the remaining rs per
cent goes to the highway district
where the license originates. Where
the car owner does no live in high
way district, the Is per cent goes to
the general county road fund. 1t can
be used only for roads and bridges or
as a sinking fund to repay road and
bridge bonds.
