The Grangeville globe. [volume] (Grangeville, Idaho) 1907-1922, 1920-03-04

From the present outlook it seems to
be generally conceded that sufficient
number OF the property owners along
Main street realized the urgent need
for this Improvement, to justify the
calling OF the bond election.
Tax of AZ Cents Per $l0O.
For the paving of the intersections
and the macadamizing of the other
two pieces of work to the depot and
to the North and South highway, ON
the basis of total cost OF $4,000, the
annual cost would be approximately
$3,237, the present assessed valuation
of the city being in the neighborhood
of $750,OOO. This would result in a
levy of 4 $40 mills for the ten-year
period as is proposed to have the bonds
run, or an annual tax of 43 cents per
year on each 500 valuation.
Regardless of the success Of the bond
issue ways and meaps must be pro-
vided for connection with the North
anu SOutH ulSuNaN.
A large number of people fail to
realize the vast benefits to be derived
from paved streets, and while the bur
den seemingly will fall heavily upon
those who own nOnproducing property
within the improvement district every
merchant will more than save the ad-
ditional tax in having his goods and
wares transported from the depot to
their laces of business. There are also
other advantages in having paved
streets, among them being the favor.
able advertising the city will receive
in the outside world. From Lewiston
through the Palouse country to Spo
kane mostly every town and hamlet
already boasts of paved streets and
all are highly commneded for their EN-
terprise.
Other Paving Planned
1t is rumored that certain owners
of property along side streets have
offered to bear the expense of paving
blocks connecting with Main street il
the city would pave the street inter
sections at the end Of the blocks.
First Paving Always Unpopular.
When paving is first proposed il
country towns almost without eXcep
tion the improvement meets with much
disfavor and not until the work il
Installed do some realize just what
it means To a community. Many in
stances are known that when tho
first improvements of this nature are
completed property owners in adjacen
blocks ask for improvements district,
to be created that they might enjoy
the benefits thereof, which also en-
hances the value of all nearby prop
erty.
