WOULD ABOLISH
LEWISTON LAND
OFFICE JULY |
Lack of Sufficient Business
Given as Reason for
Closing

e. S. land office at Lewiston would
be abolished, under the interior de
partment appropriations bill, as re-
ported by the house appropriations
committee. at Washington. Lack of
sufficient business 10 Justify maintain
ing a land office at Lewiston is given
as the reason for the committees ac-
ton.
Twenty-one federal land offices are
to come under the ak, if this feature
of the bill is enacted into law, and
in fourteen others the offices of regis
ter and receiver are to be consolidated.
Other Offices May Go
Offices slated to be discontinued
July 1 include those Of Lamar and
Sterling. Colo. :. Great Falls and Kali
yer and Yakima, Wn.
The offices at HALEY and Blackfoot
are among those where the offices of
register and receiver are to be con-
solidated.
The Lewiston land office has, since
it was established, transacted an i'm
mense amount of business, but in re-
cent years the area of public land
open to entry has greatly diminished
and the work of the office has de-
creased proportionately. About year
ago the offices of register and receiver
ut Lewiston were consolidated. III.

flee.
Much Idaho County Land
Much of the Lewiston land district
is in Idaho county. In case the Lew
iston land office is abolished, the work
in this territory will quite likely be
divided between the Occur d'Alene
and Boise offices.
Fees collected by the Lewiston Of
fee in the last year were approxi-
mately $500 less than expenses. Eff
fort is being made to have the Lew
iston office retained and close the
Coeur d 'Alene office, because no fed
eral building is located in Occur
d 'Alene, and office rent must be paid
there. The Lewiston office is located
in the federal building.

 State Commission

Construction of the Bankhead be- tween Leeds and Irondale will be started at once, following action of the board of revenue Tuesday in ordering the road plOwed and scraped.
 The order was issued at the request of J. H. Scruggs, member of the state highway commission, who stated that while the commission is to build the road, it does not have available equip ment at the present time for sacrifying the road. and that the work would be hastened if the county would do this.
 The board failed to take action re- quested by delegation of residents in the Trussville- -Chalkville precinct. who asked that the stock law election on October 27, be stopped.
 This election was ordered recently by the oard, after another delegation had presented signatures, purporting to represent 25 per cent of the residents in the district.
 After hearing the protests Tuesday, of a second delegation, who declared that fraud had cen used in obtaining the signatures, the board of revenue took the matter under advisement.
