If it is decided to go ahead with colony of wood violets dared moment bebrief the for beads their of a and next one, correllary the work, the question of cost is the fore they suffocated. The threat of this is, how shall the money be raised? The county's proportion rain still lay on the air, but the Sunof the cost can come from only one source the taxpayers of Utah day rank and file of motors threw back tops, lowered windshields and turned county. Let us analyze what the cost would be to the taxpayers; shining noses toward the greening ed first, by the bonding method, and second by the method of direct taxation. The assessed valuation of Utah county for 1921 was in round numbers $55,442,000. The total estimated cost, of the proposed roads is $554,026.37. This includes $45,496.68 due on roads already constructed. The mileage of the proposed new roads is 14.74. This includes the length from Spanish Fork to Payson, and from Payson to the Juab county line. The county's proportion of this total is $227,666.52. Let us assume that year bonds, with interest at 6 per amount of $300,000, which will complete cent, are voted for the the proposed roads, pay what is due on roads already constructed, bond and be within the bonding limit of the .county. A five for the first each will be interest means that year only paid each will one-tfi- f be teenth of the which after paid principal years, year for the remaining fifteen years. After the fifth year, the interest would become less each year, as the principal is reduced by the annual payments. The amount of the interest charge for each of the first five years would be $18,000, or 32.4 cents per $1,000 assessed valuation. At the end of the fifth year, the first principal installment would, fee d,ue. This would be $20,000. The total amount to pay at the end of the fifth year would therefore be $20,000 on plus $18,000 on interest, or $38,000, which would be 68.4 cents per $1,000 assessed valuation. The annual payment thereafter decreases each year, until at the end of the twentieth year, $20,000 for principal plus $1,200 for interest, or a total of $21,200 would be paid. This last payment would be 38.2 cents per $1,000 assessed valuation. Following is a tabulated statement showing interest, principal, and total payments that would be made oh the bonds each period. Column 8 gives for each yearj year for the full the amount in mills that would be assessed to coevr the proposed bond issue. It will be noted that the maximum for any year of .684 mills, or a little over half a mill, and this would not come for five years. In 1921 the tax for roads was 3.6 mills, or five times the maximum under the bond plan. Column 9 gives the percentage of tax under the bond plan to the road tax for 1921. It is seen that the taxes under the bond plan for the first five years is just of the 1921 road tax. 5-- 20 prin-cipt- al 20-ye- ar fields.
