No Twelfth North Paving Pi' UrAvn tavnavprs worn hnrilv riisarmointerl hv the Utah 1. f X X J J wt"v j 1-1 coontv commission's refusal to pave Twelfth North street, Tfrom University avenue west to the state highway U The county commissioners make much of depression Conditions, stating that they would be delighted to pave the itrip, but that lack of funds ends any possibility of doing so. T; Hard times were very much in evidence last August. FSurely the commissioners could foresee a drop in 1931 tax Valuations then WHY tne promise 01 spring paving, maue in August, 1930? x The argument of economy is a difficult one to answer. fit Is no easy matter for objecting citizens to place their firi-lieron firi-lieron an item of public expense, andTsay, "Why not economize econ-omize HERE instead of on the promised Twelfth North paving?",. pav-ing?",. But cities, counties and states find ways and means 6 .finance public improvement projects that the public officials of-ficials consider sufficiently pressing. In this case, evidently jthe officials were not anxious enough. ? Neither this newspaper, nor any right-thinking Provo Jiitizeh, would wish to see Provo improvements made at the expense of the rest of the county. But the Provo citizens, fwho pay a large share, of the county taxes, expect their share rbf benefits. , i1 There have been some rumors of the Provo "East-West ' 'bugaboo making the paving inadvisable. Twelfth North paving could have no bearing on any such discussion. On Jthe contrary, the state road commission has promised to pomplete the Fifth West; paving project just as soon as the Twelfth North paving is under way. The two projects go hand ih hand, as all the commissioners know full well, f Speciar efforts should be made to fulfill promises and 'this applies to'ipublic officials just as it does to private Citizens. - Did the county comjmissioners wrack their brains, consider con-sider the propbsition from every possible angle that might shake the improvement an actuality?

That took five gallons of gas and a quart . of oil. "How much?" said I. "Sixty-five cents." I paid the charge and . remarked, re-marked, "I wish it - was exactly double that amount The chap looked at me with new respect because he knew that I knew-what he was up against. . I told him that I had been thru several 11-cent gas epidemics and that they were always followed by a 35-cent gas and that 10-cent oil was" followed by a 0-cent oil, and that competition might be th life of trade, but that it was h on the ultimate consumer.
