R The county commissioners met on Saturday and a- - good part of the morning meeting was devoted to a. disctission of state roads in this county. Prof. William Petersenxof " the State Road Commission met with the commissioners and he desired to know what they intended doing as to the levying of a special road tax this year. It will be necessary to do so of course if we are to have. any of the state road money expended the law recently so that the tax levy, if made, will fall on all the property, in "the county instead of dn the precincts through which the rpad happened to run. talked The commissioners over the matter of extending the system of state roads in Cache by having a road run along the west side from Wells--vill- e north, another across the north end of the county, and still another from Logan south to the Weber county line through - Paradise and Avon. This -- plan embodies the idea that all the county should share in the expenditure of road funds that are obtained by a general tax. Nothing definite was done, however. It is hardly probable that the State Road Commission will sanction such a wholesale extension of the state road system here :as that contemplated by. the fcommissioners, .but some extension- tnay be permiV ted. It is quite likely that the -- - J - commissioners will sort of a road tax. levy some course the high school situation was the chief topic of discus-- 1 sion since it was the first meetr ing of the board since the bond election. There was no mourning over the Way the election went nor criticism, of the people for refusing permission to improve the high schools, but the members expressed themselves .as satisfied that the people of Cache county do not care to bond for any purpose and that they desire economy and" re" trenchment in school affairs.

To me there could not be a more ideal spot for a public to building and $ajk-s- o near ' the centel of mt city. I venture to say that very few buying property in that spot would be financially able to do justice to the location. Everyone is afraid of taxes, especially so close to town. Suppose Logan City were able to build a home for its officials, where would they build? This is the only spot the City owns, and so ideally located. There is no reason why a public building should be on Main street in any city. In .all my travels T have failed to see it. Cache County in a few years will need larger builidngs, and the present ground may be valuable enough to pay very near; . 5.-nr- Ho-ve- y, , . , . , 1 - x . Logan, Utah, April 2, 1915.
