Regulating Pedestrians

CONSIDERING how poorly n pedestrian
~ ordinarily fares in collision with an
automobile, II may impress some motorlrss
persons as quite out Of place to suggest that
the chauffeur's side of the case is worthy
OF regard. Moreover. since laws usually are
designed. not for the restraint OF suicidal
tendencies, but for the protection of the I'M
offending. the pedestrian may reason that
it's his own AFFAIR if he chooses to Jay
walk" heedlessly into the path Of a swiftly
moving motor car.
But that is not the whole sum OF the mat
ter. The careless pedestrian should be
protected in ..itc OF his own recklcssness.
and it is not altogether safe TO assume that
his "jaytsh" behavior is never the source
Of injury or embarrassment to others. There
is, in fact. motorists side of the case.
motorists viewpoint: and it ought 10 be
considered. Most OF us who do not possess
or drive an automobile have had the expert
"uce OF an occasional friendly lift" or a
jitney trip. and every member OF this group
must have been impressed al times by the
prevalence of pedestrians who traverse the
bushes, streets after the manner OF per-
sons picking daisies or catching butterflies

Total
...$9o,935.89

A good deal of sentiment existed, par
ticularly in Blackfoot, in favor Of expend.
ing this money for hard-surfaced road,
even though it would build only few
miles, for the reason that the state would
maintain such road at its own expense,
whereas it would cost the county thou
sands of dollars each year to maintain
gravel road Those who presented such
argument will be pleased to learn, no
doubt, that the entire road now under
construction and the additional five miles
being surveyed is to be maintained by the
state, without one dollar Of expense to the
county.
And another thing which the residents
and taxpayers should not lose sight Of is
that most Of the money expended on this
road is going directly into the pockets of
our local people.
This entire road program is a good
example Of how the present board of
county commissioners are putting more
business into government.
The Idaho Republican. [volume] (Blackfoot, Idaho) 1904-1932, 1922-10-26

A number of fair and pertinent ques-
tons have been asked recently as to how
this large fund was created and the man.
ner in which it is being expended. And
in order that the people may be rightly
Informed, we are giving below all of the
facts.
When the present board of county
commissioners took office in January,
1921, there was a great demand for i'm
provement of the main highway between
Blackfoot and Idaho Falls. But the road
fund Of the county was entirely depleted,
and with every one bent on reducing the
taxes, nobody seemed able to suggest
plan whereby this much-needed road
work could be accomplished. But on
March IS, 1921, the legislature enacted
House Bill No. 3I4, providing for dis
tributon of the proceeds of the fourth
issue of Idaho State Highway bonds, and
there was approtioned to Bingham
county, all told, the sum of $52,7445o,
of which the Aberdeen highway district
was allotted $5,694.23, and $36,765.87
was to be repaid to Bingham county on
account of moneys advanced Tor paid out
in excess Of its just share) in construction
of the FIVE miles of hard surface road
north of Fort Hall, in 1919 and 1870.
The balance of $Io,284.4o was held by
the state for expenditure in Bingham
county whenever this amount was
doubled by the county out of its own
funds.
After studying the situation, the county
commissioners put the machinery in mo-
ton which resulted in their getting
check from the state for $36,76s.S7.
They also secured release from the
Aberdeen highway district of its allot-
ment OF $5,6o4.23. This amount added
to what the state was holding for the
county made $I5,97S.63 which the state
would expend on primary highway in
this county provided the county would
expend twice that much. So the board
took $3I,957.26 of the money that had
been repaid to the county, and advised
the Commissioner Of Public Works that
this county would expend that much
money on the Yellowstone Highway pro-
vided the U. S. government would ex-
pend the sum of $43,ooooo.
A conference was held between repre-
sentatives of the county and the State
Highway Department, at Boise, and
program was formulated whereby $780,
The Idaho Republican. [volume] (Blackfoot, Idaho) 1904-1932, 1922-10-26

$3.50 was to be expended in improving
the Yellowstone Highway. Surveys were
soon made, and on August is, 1922, a
contract was let to GLEN & Shafer, Of
Pocatello, Idaho, the lowest and best
bidder, for construction of 1876 miles of
gravel road, in two sections, the first be-
ginning at the end Of the pavement near
the sugar factory at Blackfoot and ex-
tending northerly three miles; the second
beginning at the pavement on the north
boundary line of Bingham county, and
extending southerly 1916 miles.
An iron clad rule of the State High
way Department is that any road work
must begin where some previous, perman-
ent road work ended. There is, also
rule that road project must cover one
continuous stretch wherever possible. But
in order that the worst parts of the road
might be improved, and that the, people
as whole might receive the most benefit
from the money to be expended, the
Highway Commissioner consented that
this project might be built in two sections
There is very rough stretch of road of
about three miles north of the Blackfoot
sugar factory, and this stretch is included
in the contract which has been let, and
the work is now under way. The road
along Wapello siding and for some dis
lance north and south has always been
recognized as one of the best pieces of
natural roadbed in the county, hence it
was deemed inadvisable to expend any
money on that road at this time, or at the
time the plans were formulated. 1t is
also we'll known that beginning just north
of the Kimball hill, there are very bad
pieces of road all the way to the Bonnie
vile county line, stretch just north of
Firth for a mile or so being especially
bad.
The bids for this work were so much
lower than the estimates that. there is \
sufficient money left in the fund to build
the FIVE miles along Wapello, omitted
from the original contract, and surveying
is now under way for this additional
work.
1t will be seen from the foregoingsthat
Bingham county is very soon to have
fine gravel surfaced and graded road all
the way from the sugar factory near
Blackfoot to the Bonneville county line,
a distance Of little more than eighteen
miles, and this at cost of only $31,-
os7.26 to Bingham county, as against
The Idaho Republican. [volume] (Blackfoot, Idaho) 1904-1932, 1922-10-26
Bingham County

$15,o7S.63 put up by the state and
$4,000 by the federal government. And
the county's share is money collected from
the state on account of overpayment on
previous road work
1t has been asked why this money was
not expended for a hard surfaced road
beginning at the sugar factory and run
ming north. The answer IS that the
money available would not have built
more than three miles of such road,
Judging from the cost of the Fort Hall
road, and this would have left ten miles
Of bad road with probably no funds with
which to improve it for several years to
come.
As the matter now stands, the people
of the whole county, as well as tourists,
whose good will and patronage are de-
sired, are to have eighteen miles of fine
gravel road, which is the best we can
afford at the present time, but which is
being built in such way that whenever
we become able we can lay hard surface
over it. The entire eighteen miles will
be laid as base for hard surface road.
A few persons have wondered why this
work was actually commenced at the
north end of the line instead of near
Blackfoot. The whole 1876 miles was
let in one contract, and it was up to the
contractor to begin where he wanted to.
His answer to this question is that he con-
sidered the work on the north end to be
the hardest land he wanted to pet that
done first.
Why is this money being expended on
the Yellowstone Highway instead of
other roads Of the county? Because we
could not secure cooperation of the state
or federal government unless the money
was expended on this highway
Why is not more attention being given
to other roads of the county regardless
Of this Federal Aid Project? One reason
is that it takes 100000 annually out of
the. road fund Of the county to pay in
terest alone on the bonds that were voted
by the people Of this county few years
ago. And after that interest is paid
there is not a great deal left with which
to make permanent improvements.
1t has also been asked why this $780,
935.89 was not used for building a road
south of Blackfoot, to connect up with
the Fort Hall pavement. The principal
The Idaho Republican. [volume] (Blackfoot, Idaho) 1904-1932, 1922-10-26

reason is that most of that road is on an
Indian Reservation, and there is regular
appropriation by congress for improving
and building roads on such reservations,
and the present board of county commits
sioners are trying to induce the govern
ment to build this road at its own ex-
pense, particularly in view Of the fact that
the FIVE miles Of paved road already built
on this reservation was paid for largely
by this county and the State Of Idaho,
! But, if the government cannot be induced
to do this, it can and probably will be
done next year by the county and state.
For the benefit of those who are not
sufficiently interested or haven't the time
to read and study the foregoing, we give
the following:
