Harper said to the Log Cabin Demo- crat today, and it will>be decided at the meeting on January 26 whether or not actual construction will be taken up immediately. The bond market is much more favorable than at any time in the past IS months, while labor and other construction costs have greatly declined in the same period, and many are of the opinion that the present is favorable time for beginning work on the project.

REDUCE TAXES ON
 DAMASCUS ROAD
REVIVE MT. VERNON ROAD
Commissioners of District No. 8 Re- Organize and will Meet to Dis-
 cuss Building Highway.

Announcement was made today that on recommendation of the com missioners of the Conway and Dam ascus road district, County Judge E.. l.. Smith has made an order reducing by tenth the amount of taxes to be paid on the lands within the dis trict for the present year 1922. The taxes this year will be IS per cent of the basic assessment instead of 20 per cent, which was collected last year It is unlikely that the rate will be reduced in the Conway and Vilonia and Conway and Palarm dis tricts this year, it was stated, but these districts will probably have a lower rate next year.
 The Mt. Vernon highway project, which was created by the legislature of 1920 as Road District No. 8 of Faulkner county, and has been dor mant since that time, was revived Monday night when the commission CTS met at the courthouse here and reorganized, adjourning until Janu ary 26, when they will meet at Enola to discuss the advisability of proceed ing with the construction of the high way.
 The proposed highway begins on the Conway -Vilonia road at Holmes store, eight miles east of Conway, and extends to Mt. Vernon by way of Enola, with a one-mile lateral con- meeting the road to Naylor, the total length being about IT miles.
 Several changes have been made ln the board of commissioners as origl- naly constituted. J. C. Martin of Fnola has succeeded L. T. Lasley of Enola. resigned, Henry Langford has
 succeeded G. M. Cornell of Naylor deceased, and Lester Hatfield of Mt. Vernon has succeeded A. A. Parsons, Jr.. removed from the district The original members still on the board
