BOARD TO CALL BOND ELECTION All Differences Settled —Election to be Held the Last of May ? the First of June The Board of Highway Com- missioners met Wednesday even- ing in extra session and worked on the plans for further road im- provements as outlined in the . Chronicle some weeks ago. The best of fealing prevailed and all the minor differences that caused a split among the members last fall have been adjusted. Mr. Schroeder will again serve ‘as Commissioner and goes back on the Board with the full confi- dence of the people behind him. Messrs. Jenny and Jessup are to be complimented upon their firm stand that Mr. Schroeder should go back on the Board and in ad- justing their differences which after all were merely a matter of policy and not of any disagree- ment over the cost of work so far done. The roads opened up - last summer are proving immensely popular and we hear nothing but praise from the traveling public, and above all, the fact that they were built right with permanent’ concrete culverts for the larger draias and steel ‘for the’ smaller makes the roads a solid and_last- ing structure the. price of which will be forgotten even before the concrete is thoroughly set. Good roads are just as neces- sary for team travel as for auto- mobiles and are a benefit to éveryone whether traveled in a one horse shay om in a Packard limousine. An automobile may bean extravagence, with ‘sémea well’afforded luxury, it may be merely a convenience or’ it may be a neccessity in either event its use or pleasure is limited to the man owning or riding in it and is- a source of continual expense; but good roads benefit us all and in stead of an expense they are an ~ economy. } Let us not get penny wise and pound foolish just at a time when so much is at stake. In the com- ing issues of the Chronicle we Shall discuss more fully the real situation and. we also welcome contributions from our readers on this subject no matter whether you are for or against the issue for we want a free discussion as that is the only way in which we can arrive at a mutual under-, standing. Was Appointed Administrator Letters of Administration were ¥ssued by Probate Judge Camp- bell, on Friday, April 11; to Felix Martzen, in the estate of Chris Nelson, Felix having been hereto- fore by order of the Probate Court appointed administrator of the estate, and having filed the band required by law of administrators. Chris Nelson lived near Wino- na and died on the 28rd day of March, at Kamiah, Idaho, where the funeral was held, having just prior to his death returned ‘from a visit with relatives in’ California. Prior to his death Nelson wasa close friend of Felix Martzen, and Felix induced him to come to Ida- ho County and locate, and the two had adjoining homesteads, The deceased accumlated con- siderable real es tate in his lifetime having added to his homestead by purchase of other land. His holdings are chiefly valuable for grazing purposes. He also left some personal property which will be fixed later, after order of sale is entered by the Probate Court. Deceased has two brothers living| | _ in California. pr ne “ COTTPNWOOD, IDAHO, FR Hogs Reach High Water Mark/|run April 22 on the high line: | Leave Grangevilll 8:30 A.
