similar arrangement at Nampa and

with the auto trucks. (The express
shipments are not included in this

We can let the road alone, but there
are complications that must be met
in the near future and which may
have an effect on the commercial inn
portance Of Meridian One is the pos
sibility that the mile vest will be
gfayelled and put in such condition
that the traffic will be attracted to

idian mile to the east Another is,
that portion Of the CaIdwell-B Boise

NO DRAYAGE CHARGE FOR
INTERURBAN FREIGHT

General Manager F. l.. Ring of the
Idaho Traction company, was in Mer-
idian Friday and completed arrange
ments while here to have the Inter
urban freight delivered free of
charge to the merchants of Meridian.
This will be substantial saving and
will no doubt be appreciated by the
business men. This concession has
been made in other towns on the loop
and means that the Interurban will
meet the competition of the auto
truck and deliver the freight to the
customers door.
This is only one of several substan-
tial improvements which Manager
Ring has made in the Interurban SER
Ivice during the past few months. The
company is progressive and with a
live wire like Mr.. Ring to help, there
| Is no doubt that the freight and pas
senger business will further develop
and prosper. The Boise valley bust
ness interests Will also he helped mat

except the $4,000 for water works.
This bond issue is now being paid off
at the rate of $1,000 year.
If the electors approve the $I2, 900
bond issue the mile Of highway could
be improved with the crushed rock,
and $4,000 of this would be used ON
the streets of the town adjacent to
the highway. which are in bad
shape, especially in the winter. This
would also provide an amount for
maintenance for at least two years,
1t would take about 5000 yards of
rcushed rock and gravel, and this
material could be secured at one of
the several gravel banks. One place
suggested is at the Dan Barker place
Morrison & Knutson plant in the
Boise river near Boise. 1t is thought,
however. the gravel from the river is
inferior, and would be more expen-
sive to haul. Contractors estimate it
would take 250 car loads, at 20 yards
to the car, and the auto trucks would
need to haul nearly thousand loads
at yards to the load.
An argument in favor Of bonding
the town for this amount would be
that the 5000 that would be paid out
in interest on the bonds would be
but little more than the town now
pays in keeping up the streets that
remain in very unsatisfactory con-
dition.

Hal N. Coffin, former state treas
urer of Idaho, died at Boise March %
at his home, 1403 Franklin street.
He had been a resident of Boise for
23 years. To Mr.. Coffin is given the
credit for first introducing the sys-
tenn of diyerting interest money
TO the state for deposits of the
public money. This was in the year
1900, when Mr.. Coffin assumed his
Office Of state treasurer of Idaho. Pre-
vious to this time, the treasurer was
paid small salary and made up the
difference by pocketing the interest
money from the favored banks.
