CANE ROAD TAX DEFEATED PEOPLE, AT STORMY MEETING, 'REFUSE TO RATIFY 6 MILL PROPOSITION LAZELLE LEADER OF Southern Pacific and Other Corpora tions are Expected to Provide Funds for Roads There were many stormy times at the meeting of Canemah Koad District number 15, at Stokes' store In Canemah Saturday night. Coming right on top of the school district nieetin,;, the tax payers were In poor form, so much so that Road Super visor W. M. Fine, anticipating trouble, culled on Clark Ganong to help blm hold down the chairmanship of the meeting. The property owners living on or mar the good roads of the dis trict, particularly those who receive the benefits of the Pacific Highway, i seemed to think the district was In pretty good shape, and that there was nothing t0 worry about, hut It was very much different with those not so fortunately situated. Hard luck storks of children not able to fight their way through the mud to school were plentiful, one Mount Pleasant man stating that It was alnio.it impossible In bad weather for a strong man to make much pro press through the roads near his place. George Lazelle led the oppo sition to the aix mill tax which the nu-etlng was called to ratify. Mr. La 7.elle lives on the Pacific Highway at Twiight. There was plenty of crim ination and recrimination before the matter finally went to a ballot, the result being in favor of the opposition. The Southern Pacific Is assessed for three miles of trackage $120,000.00 which the tax of six mills levied last year yielded $870 for the district. Ac cording to Supervisor Fine, tne major ity w nt to put It up to the Southern Pacific and other corporations to Im prove their roads, with what assist ance may be obtained from the gener al fund through the cotinty court. The meeting ended in confusion. 10 MILL ROAD TAX VOTED BY 2 DISTRICTS Judge lleatie announced Monday wUkt ln the rnnrttv mirt tlAii hHn notified that the Sievera and Hog Hol i low districts had each voted In favor of 10 mill levies for road work.
