public, know that there has been
much additional engineering work
made necessary by the Amboy ave-

sewer system. In taking care of this
city work I have put more personal
application to the work than any of

might say that this price is less than
that charged by me in my private
business, bills rendered by me to the
Public Service Gas Company, Barber

that my charge to the city is fair. If

Federal Aid for the six miles of paw

wired Monday as follows:
Board of County Commissioners.

BILE to get decision on the six miles of
road across the Fort Hall reservation
Bureau Chief Mcdonald has just noti-
fled me of the solicitor on this mat
ter The bureau will participate 100
percent on 35 of the SO allotments,
the road crossing the corners Of the
Sc, making an exception Of less than
one-fourth mile as near as it can be
figured on the plat. l have asked the
solicitor to reconsider this and make
it complete 100 percent Federal aid
project. However, Idaho's share Of
the cost on this 1856 would be 48 per
cent on this raction.-DAVIS.
From the above it can be seen the
Federal aid can be secured for 1876
and there is yet possible chance that
it will be made 100 per cent Federal
money.
