It ap- B .. pcared that a mass mcctng had been fl held in Parowan at tho request of H Commissioner Evans, at which mat- K ters pertaining to taxation had been Bp. discussed and committees appointed to V confer with the commissioners in re- B , lation to the matter. It was the un- H, derstanding of Com. Evans that sim- Hf ilar meetings were being held in the V southern portion of the county, but H when it was learned that no meetings H had yet been held it was unanimously B decided to not go into tho matter at H this time, but to call meetings of the K people of the county, which would be K attended by representatives of the Hr board, the county nsscssor, attorney HL and others interested in tho adminis- B tration of tho revenue laws, and dis- E cuss the provisions of the new law Bj with the taxpayers. A schedule of R meetings was arranged for the pres- B week. Hj A communication was read from Hj William Lund of Modena in relation B to the road from Modena to Enter- HBBv nriRp. but action was deferred on the BpJ matter until a future meeting. H A communication was also received H from William Grimshaw of Enoch in I VJfii rclation to certain rights of way for Hj t "jl the proposed new road at that place, B Commissioner Lunt reported the visit HL of tho commissionors and road super- B visor to Enoch a month previously to B look up the most feasible route for a B road from Enoch to the western por- 1 tion of the valley, and described the B conditions as they existed there, and B asked the road commissioner, Mr. J. Bi M. Hcndrickson, to make his rccom- B mendations in relation to the locntion H of tho road, which hs did. The rcc- B ommendation of tho commissioner, B which was approved by the board, was BBfllx bbbI' bbbI s B - that two roads be designated and op- ened to travel, ono half a mile north and the other half a mile south of tho Matheson Blathers homesteads. It was a condition of snid designation that tho roads should be opened and put in condition for travel at no expanse ex-panse to the county. Said roads are to bo four rods wide, and tho present road is not to be fenced up or interfered inter-fered with until the new ronds arc in good condition for travel. The returns of the fence election held at New Castle were canvassed, showing show-ing 10 votes for and G votes against such fence law. The election was declared de-clared to huvc carried in the affirmative affirma-tive and the county attorney was in structed to draft an ordinance prescribing pre-scribing what should constitute a lawful law-ful fence. Chairman Lunt of the Board made a brief explanation of the proceedings of tho meeting held, in Cedar City with the applicants for participation in the mother's pension fund, but action in the matter was deferred until tho next meeting. Complaints hawing been made to tho commissioners that a pool hall was being conducted in Paragonah without license from tho county, the attorney was instructed to investigate tho matter nnd report to the board nt its next meeting. Chairman Lunt asked tho feelings of tho other members of the board in relation to maintaining a membership in the Utah Chamber of Commerce, and they instructed Mr. Lunt to proceed pro-ceed with the matter and assist with tho completion of tho organization of that body, and see tho matter through according to the program already al-ready outlined to the board.
