JEWETT AVERAGES
55.8 MILES HOUR
BOISE SALT LAKE

In a thrilling dash through the
night, a stock Jewett set new rec
ord from Boise, Idaho, to Salt Lake
City, Utah, covering ATS miles in 5
hours, 33 minutes, averaging 55.8
miles an hour.
J. NJ. Jenson, the Jewett dealer
at Boise, piloted the car, and cut
down the previous record, made by
a professional race driver, by 1
hour, 40 minutes.
Jenson's record for the drive
would be extraordinary even if
made under the best conditions,
but besides competing against time,
he had to combat bad weather, bad
roads, and darkness.
The route was by way of Noun
tain Home, Pocatello, McCammon,
Preston, Logan and Ogden The
start was made late at night, to
avoid traffic. Several detours that
would have been discouraging even
for leisurely going were taken, and
during part of the run rain added
to the difficulties.
Part of the course lay over dirt
roads covered with as much as
three inches of dust, which filled
the chuck holes and made it i'm
possible to discern them by the
light of the swiftly moving car, so
that the going was extremely haz-
ardOus. However, maximum speed
was possible over long distances,
and so the Jewett was enabled to
establish the average speed of 55.S
miles an hour.

flagstaff Objects
To Signboards Put
Up Along Highway

Considerable indignation is being
expressed by those Flagstaff people
who do not admire big billboards
impinged against our national
scenery over three sets OF huge
multiple billboards recently erected
by Fisher and Kleiser. Just as the
chamber of commerce with the CO.
operation of the Arizona Lumber
and Timber company, is getting the
way clear to removing roadside
signs west of town, these three
new sets are causing more than
usual discussion.
One set is at the east end OF
ASPEN avenue, another on Aspen
near the Odd Fellows hall and the
third at the main entrance to the
State Teachers college grounds.
The latter is an especial atroclty,
not speaking from an artistic
standpoint at all. The builder en-
croached on the street six or seven
feet. making the intersection dang
erous. 1t is understood that 1t
either will be removed by the
builder to outside the street lines
or town council will have it re-
moved.
Council has instructed City At
torney F. w. Perkins to investigate
whether these billboards can be
charged business license. Coun-
ty Assessor Billy Beeson has been
asked what he can do about 1t IN
the way of imposing taxes.
County board of supervisors on
Monday adopted a resolution that
anyone putting up advertising signs
within highway limits on any coun-
ty road must obtain permission
from the board of supervisors and
authorizing the state highway de-
partment to remove all present OBJ
structing signs.-Coconino Sun.

SCHOOL PLAN CREATES
INCREASING INTEREST
CONTINUED from first page)


peared pleased with the answers of
Mr.. du Don't
Other questions which have been
asked at times appear to indicate
that there may also be a misunder-
standing in some places over the
matter of districts issuing school
bonds. The proposed plan is that the
districts shall furnish twenty per
cent or one fifth of the cost of the
building and that the state shall
furnish the remainder.
Another provision of the law pro-
vides that the bonds issue shall not
exceed in amount five per centum of
the assessed value of the district
real estate. There appeared to be an
impression that if a district desired
a new schol house it would be nee
essary to issue bonds to five per
centum of the assessed valuation of
real estate in order to raise the
twenty per centum, of one fifth, of
the cost of the school. This would,
OF course, depend wholly upon the
assessed valuation in the district or
in the consolidated district in case
4 consolidation was named in other
words the per centage of bond issue
20 the assessed value would depend
argely on the wealth of the dis
rict.
Smyrna furnished 81 per cent of
he cost of its new school house and
ne bond isue of $65,0OO was only
97 per centum of the assessed val
Iatlon of the district. Dover issued
onds to the amount of S199, 900 and
ullt its own school house and the
mount of bonds was At per centum
1 the assessed valuation of the real
state in the district and CIaymont
lrnished $275,000, he total cost of s
s new school and the bond issue
as 4.67 per centum of its assessed I
aluation. Lewes furnished 20 per {
entum, the amount asked in the \
ew plan, toward it's new $3.50. 600 +
;hool house and the per centage of Q
le bond issue to the assessed val
ltlon was 4 per centum. In no case
Is the amount of bonds issued
ached the full five per centum al
wed under the present law which
Ill remain unchanged. The average -
s been Alb per centum. = =

The present law allows a person tt

Four o'clock p. M, Arlington
time, Wednesday, February IS, has
been agreed on by a joint committee
of the Senate and House as the time
for shutting off the introduction of
new bills.
Three Cents seas" Tax.
Two bills of great interest to own
ers of motor vehicles introduced
in the House. One offered by Repre-
sentative Pardee would fix a three
instead of two cents per gallon tax
on gasoline, starting July l of this
year. This increase was recommend
ed by c. Douglas Buck, chief en-
gineer of the State Highway De-
partment, in his annual report, but
he also recommended that if this
was done there should be a reduc-
tiOn in the fee for autmobile Ii
censes. A bill to carry out the latter
suggestion has not as yet been in
trOduced. Mr.. Bucks idea is that
by reducing the license the extra
cent gasoline tax would not take
any more money from the owners of
cars in the State but that it would
bring in considerable from trucks
and cars outside the State who use
the State highways without paying
any tax.
Tax on Auto Freight
The second bill of interest to mo-
.orists was introduced by Represen-
.ative Sebold and provides that all
persons operating motor vehicles for
he carrying of freight for hire shall |
)ay tax of 21a mills per ton per
nile on every load of freight so car
led.
1t provides that the owners of
uch motor vehicles must secure a
pecial permit from the chief en-
ineer of the highway department.
lonthly reports would have to be
made by the owners of such Vehi-
les. The incorporated towns of the
tate would get a share of the tax
Dr. the actual amount over the
treets of such towns. The bill pre-
cribes fines from $50 to 5000 for
iOlations.
