In the issue of Sept. 16th, the Chronicle contained an article stating that a fifth attempt was being made by the state to dis- pose of is $2,000,000 bond issue, and‘should the sale be made $20,000 would be forthcoming from this fund for the construc- | tion of the Grave Creek-Cotton-| wood road. That the $20,000) would come from the $2,000,000 | was our opinion as well as that of several others but Senator) Seth Jones ina letter to the} Chronicle sets forth the true} facts. His letter in full, reads | as follows: Whitebird, Idaho, September 22, 1921.! Mr. George Medved, Cottonwood, Idaho. Dear Sir:- | I noticed in your issue of the | Cottonwood Chronicle, Septem- | ber 16th, an article in regard to the highway bond. — 1 beg to call your attention to a statement) that $20,000 of the $2,000,000 | bond would be available for the Rice Creek road. This is an er- ror, according to the House Bill No. 313 of the past session of the legistlature. This sum should have been taken from the 9-10 mill levy, or the auto license fund and turned over to the Ida- ho County Commissioners for the Rice Creek road. You will also find in House Bill No. 316 where authority was given by the state legislature to sell treas- ury notes for $898,000. It is my understanding that a great| many of these notes have been sold. If so, this money should have been turned over by the Commissioner of Public Work to the Idaho County Commis- sioners and should be available at this time to use for said road. | You will find by looking over House Bill 313, 314 and 316 that Iam correct. The people of Cottonwood and vicinity, who are interested in this road should | get busy and find out the true} facts, in regard to the sale of the treasury notes, and why this $20,000 has not been paid over. Hoping this explanation will! be of some benefit to you I am sincerely Seth D. Jones. COURT ORDERS PAYMENT. | The payment to the plaintiff) by the defendant of $50 monthly | pending the trial of the suit be- ginning with October 1, with) $100 suit money and $250 at- torney’s fees was ordered by the | court at Grangeville last week | in the suit of Flora Brown fora} decree of divorce from Sydney | M.
