have It TO pass on to the voters
Of this county. We do not feel
that the affairs Of the county
are being run in an efficient man

the county should have an op-

themselves. But how can they
form correct opinion, if some
statement is. not made? If an
injustice is being done to those
in authority, we say turn on the

THINK TT OVER
COUNTY EXPENSES, EXPEN
DITURES, AND LOCATION
OF OFFICES

Several years ago handsome
courthouse was built at Halifax
for the purpose of housing the
county officials yet one may go
there during any week day,
when court IS not in session and
find it absolutely deserted. When
this courthouse was planned Of
flces were provided for every
county official which is suppoS-
ed to be a central location, vet
upon investigation it will be
found that practically every
county officials except the Reg
lister Of Deeds and the Clerk of
Court have offices in Weldon or
Roanoke Rapids, and we under
stand that the county pays for
the rental Of these offices. Why
should these offices not be main
tanned in Halifax, as intended,
and save this additional expense,
and save the squandering Of this
money which belongs to the peo-
pie Of the county, and which
should be expended with the ut
most economy? 1t costs the
county about sixty thousand dol
lars in salaries to run this coun-
ty, and every dollar of it is
spent IN and around the upper
end Of the county, and the bal
ance Of the county does not de-
rive one cent Of profit from this
money.
When the present state admin
istration went in it promised the
people that it would not call on
the counties to furnish one dol
lar for state taxation. Last
year this country contributed,
we understand, about fifty
thousand toward state expenses,
so this year that amount should
have been saved to the tax pay
c,'> of the county. Is this true
1t cannot possibly be, as taxes
have been increased. instead Of
being decreased. Either one
thing or the other is true; the
state IS still being paid something
out OF the county taxes, or else
this money is being used for coun-
ty purposes. In either case, the
voters of the county should be
enlightened as to the situation
They pay the taxes and have ?
right to know what is being
done with the money collected
Turn on the light, make a state
ment, and let the people Of tht
county know something about
their owr business.
Some months ago money was
borrowed by the county for tn,
construction Of the bridge ove1
Roanoke River, yet this work
has not yet begun. This none,
is laying somewhere in the bank
Of the county. Is the count,
getting interest on this money
If not, why not? Is the count

TOWN BOARD
in SESSION

The city council met in regular ses-
sion Tuesday night and transacted
considerable business of Importance.
The resignation of c. d. Rowe, city
clerk, who is leaving soon for Milton,
Greg, where he has purchased a
newspaper, was accepted and j. F. T.
Stamm was elected to fill the vacancy.
The petition of Northside residents
for the appointment of a poundmaster
to look after roaming stock, was dis
cussed and it was decided to advise
residents of the Northside that a
poundmaster would be appointed il
anyone could be secured who would
accept the position. The council also
ordered the placing of two additional
street lights at points on the North
side.
e. r. Hannibal, superintendent Of
the Interstate Utilities Co, and II.
Baker, assistant superintendent, at
tended the meeting to discuss with the
council the matter of removing the
telephone companys poles from Main
street. in accordance with a promise
made by former superintendent Bert
Fisher, about two years ago. rne
telephone company officials argued
would cost $500 and that it would not
better the service while the company
has in mind using this money for the
increasing and betterment of the SER
vice in Bonners Ferry. They stated
that the company would like to have
the council defer the matter OF re-
moving the poles from Main street
for few years.
]
however, that an agreement had been
entered into two years ago between
the council and the telephone COM
pany relative to the removal of the
poles under which agreement the
poles were to have been removed at
once This agreement has not been
kept and the council felt that mas
much as the city has been fulfilling
its part of the agreement the tele-
phone company should keep its part.
The conference ended with no definite
agreement other than that in force,
being arrived at.
j II. H. Hughes, manager of the city
water and light plants, was author
lied to close a deal at once for the
purchase of a $50 horsepower Pelton
turbine, complete with draft tube and
other equipment, which is to be used
in the proposed Moyie power plant
The turbine and other equipment is to
be purchased from the Stevens Coun-
ty Power Co., for a consideration of
! $4,000, this sum to be paid in city
bonds. The equipment is located at
Meyers Falls, Wash, and was recently
inspected by Mr.. Hughes and Council
man F. A. Shultis and was found to
be in first class shape. The equip
ment being purchased would be worth
! some $12.50O if bought from the man
ufacturers.

LARGEST FIRST
DAY ATTENDANCE
HIGH SCHOOL OF INDEPENDENT
SCHOOL DISTRICT NO. HAS
I20 ENROLLED
INCREASE in GRADE SCHOOL ALSO
Many More Students VIII Enroll This
Week and Next.

The schools of Independent School
District No. opened Tuesday morn
ing with a first day attendance far
greater than any previous year and
the indications are that the 1922
term will be the most successful in
the history of the district.
Supt. t. S. Kerr states that the en-
rollment Tuesday in the high school
was 120. The first year enrolment
last year was 80 and the total enroll
ment of the year was only 119. He
knows of many more high school stu
dents who will enroll this week and
next and figures that the total enroll
ment this year in the high school
should reach between 140 and $50 stu
dents. About so per cent of the stu
dents enrolled in the high school this
year, are from the rural districts.
In the senior class this year there
are 1S students. Last year there were
II students in this class There are
already so members of the freshman
class and last year the class had only
80. Supt. Kerr believes that the
freshman class this year will number
about so pupils when all have en-
rolled There are "a enrolled in the
tl5Htn SIdut GLASS WHICH IuedUS lUdl
there will be another large freshman
class in high school next year Last
year there were only 20 members of
the eighth grade class that graduated
All the teachers of Independent
School District No. 4 who were elected
last spring were here for the opening
day of school. For the first time in
several years a man will be principal
of the grade school, Russell Neal of
Washtuckna, Wash, having accepted
this position. He comes highly rec
commended as a teacher.
Tuesday evening there We're 305 pu-
pills enrolled in the grade school, Last
year the first day enrolment was
about 275. If records for previous
years are duplicated the enrolment
, in the grades for this term will neatly
reach the 400 mark
This year the overflow of grade
pupils will be taken from the first and
second and the sixth and seventh
grades. There will be an extra teach
i er for the first and second grades and
an extra teacher for the sixth and
I seventh grades.
The members of the senior class OF
I the high school who expect to become
teachers upon the completion of the
I course will have an opportunity this
year to take some preparatory work
in connection with the regular course
Supt. Kerr states that a course cover
ing review of common school sub
jects will be offered to those planning
to become teachers.
There will also be additional CD.
portunities offered in the mapua
training department of which Prof. a
Bonman, of Pocatello, is in charge
There will be course in carpenter.
ing, a course in mechanical drawing
in forge work, cement work and nos
sibly five or six weeks course il
