An Open Letter to All Beaver County Residents, The Beaver County Commission has been working to solve the County road Beaver County has previously been quite frugal with bond While the school district has outstanding bonds for the two high school buildings, County bond obligation has been limited to a $400,000 Lease Revenue Bond through Service District 4 for swimming pools in the three communities. Payment of approximately $29,000 per year is handled through the general fund. Bond will retire in 2005. Debt, however, may be the only way to keep up with progress ... and 1997 is the year. Detailed cost for the 160 to d jail is unavailable. Lease Revenue Bonds, in an as yet undisclosed amount, will be added to the $6.5 million General Obligation Bond approved by the voters last November. Total investment is borrowed dollars. Paul Barton, Beaver County Clerk, says the Circle 4 Farms road project is the first County Improvement District during his tenure in office. "The cities have done improvement districts to put in services, but it's a first for the county," he explained. It is also a first for corporate benefit. Beaver County plans to borrow approximately $3.6 million for road upgrades. (See legal notice on page 5.) Circle 4 Farms is the primary beneficiary of the road upgrades. They will pledge property collateral for as the loan, and agree to an (listed below) assessment to retire the bond. Through either design or oversight, impact fees were not assessed before development of the farm sites. Road work, which is needed immediately, must be funded entirely by bonds or grants. The notice of intention was reportedly drafted by Blaine Carlton, a bond attorney working with Zion's Bank. Carlton was not available for comment.

The information about Samuel Newhouse was sent to me by Henry Schoo, former resident of Milford now residing in Denver, Colorado. The pictures of the town of Newhouse were supplied locally, by Mrs. Selma Kirk. Samuel was born in New York in 1851 and died in Paris, France in 1930, at the age of 73. He was educated in Pennsylvania, studied law and passed the Bar, although he never practiced law. About 880 he moved to the rich mining district near Ouray, Colorado. There, he met a young lady, Ida Stringly, they were married in 1 882. They had little money and were employed at a local hotel. Residing at the hotel was a wealthy Englishman who fell ill with pneumonia. With no medical facilities available. Mrs. Newhouse nursed him back to health. The man was so grateful that he told. Samuel that if he ever found any promising prospects, he would back them, financially. That friendship later, resulted in Newhouse becoming a millionaire. There were several ventures in the Colorado some of which made money for the investors. Sometime later, the couple moved to Salt Lake City. While there he became interested in the Park City area, especially attractive to him was one prospect, later known as the Highland Boy. Their investment in that mine was to make them millionaires. Mr. Newhouse designed and built two city blocks in Salt Lake also a mansion for he and his wife. But the most famous building was the elegant Newhouse Hotel, which was, for many years, the Social and Business Center of the area. He became interested in the Cactus Mine in h Valley, west of Milford. He believed the area had great possibilities and invested, heavily. He built the town complete with a h Clubhouse, homes and other related buildings. Water was piped from Springs on the side west of the valley and a railroad was built from the town of Frisco. The Cactus Mine proved to be much less than expected and closed down, one of his very few failures. In the picture showing the Clubhouse are several homes, solid and well built. They were moved to Milford by Elam Foutz, a local drayman. Not much of the old town remains. A few foundations, the mine in the d dump and some evidence of the railroad, most of which was washed away in a 1930's. early Mrs. Newhouse became very active in the Social Circles of London, Paris and New York and had palatial homes in those cities. She was presented to the English King Edward VII, in that court and was well known throughout those circles. Samuel had little interest in that area as he was too busy with his mining ventures, though he often joined her. that the company creating the should be needs road for the financially responsible needed road improvements, without creating a financial or tax burden on any other County business or resident.
