L -- 1. . 1 this fall Markets Have Been Unusually High , Potato and other CONCRETE HIGHWAY t i Jew TO THIS COUNTY 1 The movement to build permanent highways has struck Utah county thi3 fall and from present Indications the spirit of permanent road construction will continue to grow until we have one of the finest road systems in the United States. Within the past thirty days nevv organizations have beeu busily eng ged in promoting this movement and during the next six months every tax payer in Utah county will be given an oppoitunity to go into the situation and then to determine whether or not it is profitable to 'build highways that will not wear out within a few months after . the people have gone to the expense of constructing them through a direct svstem of taxation which has always proved burdensome to all. The first permanent highway to be constructed in Utah county is the state road as this will form a center to which all side streets run, and will give the farmers one great central road upon which they can always depend regardless of weather, to be in good condition for hauling their products to market and for hauling coal and other necessities home. By creating a twenty year bond issue in order to obtain the necessary funds, it was estimated that 50 miles of permanent highway, stretching from the point of the mountain on the north to Santaquin on the south, would C03t the tax payers a grand total of $56,000 per year for a period of twenty years. Marion Ginger, the Utah county road commissioner, stated that the present stretch was cost at the average of $60,000 per year. So we thus would have a net gain of $4000 if we would build the permanent highway. The above figures are not rough guesses, hut are the result of careful estimates by experience men who have been studying existing conditions not only in Utah county, but in all part3 of the United States. It might be interesting to know il i 50-mi- X that Vermillion county, ! -- Illinois refinished of the construction cently over one hundred miles bf concrete roads, the funds having been raised by the creation of a bond Issupf a few weeks ago the first payment was made by the county and The tax pay-er-a of the county were pot aware of the fact, because thsfir tAxes had not been increased by one penny the amount of the taxes which had been necessary to maintain their old, unimproved highway being more than sufficient to pay for their new hard surface stretch. The people of Vermillion, county learned early in the game that with tt change of methods of transporta-- . tion from" the horse to the automobile what the Utah county people are now learning, that is the effect of the fast moving motor vehicle has upon the road. Years ago when everybody drove horses, dirt roads and macadam roads were much longer lived than at present, for now Instead of the alow methods of wearing & road down, the fast moving automobile picks up the road bed as it is ground off and winds carry It to the neighfa. boring fields. Yet the same fast moving vehicles have very little effect on the paved street, and as a result the present system of permanent highway building alwaya results in a direct savlng to the tax payer inthe county where such highway is located.

The Republican drift extended to county officers, the greater number of counties choosing Republican county attorneys and sheriffs. These offices are important lacolly because the holders are charged wltn enforcing the prohibition law. The vote was heavy as had been expected, for the campaign had been waged with a determination not seen in recent years.
