STATE ROAD WORK BEING DONE

Bids for improving the state high
way from Coles school to the Ada
county line were opened at Boise this
week, and S. G. Comerford of Boise
presented bid of 45,284.78. The
contract, however, will not be award
ed at the present time. The road,
which includes all but the mile thru
the town of Meridian, will be re-
shaped and surfaced with crushed
rock. The project is known as State
Aid Project No. 81 and is part of a
plan by the state to have the entire
stretch of road from Cole school to
Nampa imWoved. The Nampa high
way district has agreed to improve
the road from Nampa to the Ada
county line.
This with the improvement of the
road by paving in the north part of
Namna and the proposed gravel
ling of the mile thru Meridian, will
complete the highway Improvement
from Boise to Nampa.

VOTE FOR THE BONDS.

Next Tuesday the special election to
vote on the question of issuing ten
Thousand dollars in bonds to improve
the state highway thru Meridian will
be before the voters. Vote YES.
There appears to be some misun-
derstanding and consequent mis-
statement Of facts regarding the pres
ent financial condition of the village
of Meridian, and upon investigation
the Times finds the following to he
the true status as taken from the
official records:
The assessed valuation of Meridian
for the year 1921 was $633,155, and
the assessed valuation for the year
1922 will be about $675, 900. There
are. now bonds outstanding to the
amount of $4,000; the original issue
amounted to 100000; an average of
$4,000 per year having been retired
the past three years. Meridian has
the lowest Indebtedness OF any town
of similar size in the state of Idaho; !;

hundred.
The proposed bond issue of SO, 600
to be used for the rebuilding of the
mile of highway thru Meridian can
be easily taken care of and without
any extra tax rate. The present rate
of $3.50 per hundred will take care
of the towns present obligations be-
sides allowing for the interest on this
proposed issue-and still be able to
retire $4,000 per year of bonds.
This is accounted for as the as
sessed valuation of Meridian is con-
tinually increasing while the expen-
ses have not increased in like pro-
portion. The present rate of $150
per hundred will he continued by the
present board whether the proposed
bond issue of $4,000 is carried or
not, so why not have this greatly
needed improvement, and still your
taxes will be no higher?

Wild Animals Beind Wiped Out.

Seals have recently appeared off the
English coast, In the vicinity Of the
Wash, and they are to be killed off.
This has raised q protest from those
who argue that, by refusing to protect
certain animals, the English are grad
ually causing them to become extinct.
East African lions are regarded as
vermin, and are killed as such. Pro-
lection has been withdrawn from the
small herd of elephants In the Aldo
bush, South Africa. It has been de-
creed that sea lions on the Pacific
coast Of America are to be extermi-
mated. The wild cat, once common In
the north of England, is now only
found In the Grampians; 1t will soon
be an extinct species, with its skel-
etOn In museum.
If we could take peep into the fu-
tire we should probably find aston
fishing changes In the animal world. It
will not be case Of the survival of
the fittest, but the survival Of the
most domesticated. The wise beast
who proves that he can be useful to
us will live-but, alas for the rest /
