Contractor McLain was ordered paid about ?200 on his contracts for the Balnes street sewer and North Second street. The Coos Bay Paving and Construction company was order ed paid several hundred dollars. D. Ferguson petitioned that moro lights be placed along the county road in Ferndale. His request was referred to Chairman Albrecht of the light committee. Mrs. Mary Johnson protested against her property for the Fourth street paving. Sho has bought the, inside portion of a lot facing on the street and owing to the lot being di vided again, she thinks her propor tion of the assessment too high. . City Recorder Butler was Instruct ed to draw a warrant for $SCS costs for the B street lot caso which was fought out In the federal courts a , year or so ago. The city has to pay inte'rest on these costs since the dato of tho trial. Chas. A. Noble was awarded the contract for fixing B street wharf for $G50.

THAT POLL TAX PROBLEM Editor Times: Is there a state, county or city poll tax lnw? If there Is such a law what is tho matter with It, what makes our government timid In enforcing this law? Does it teem strnngo IMr. Collector or Mr. District Attorney or who ever is responsible for the enforcing of this law) why 60 many men subject to poll ta should refuso to pay, when o see only a few hundred out of several thousand paid poll tax for -909. Some ono must bo to blame, when our county should have collected several thousand paid poll tax for 1000. Some when thoy really only collected a small portion of It. Why should 1 pay If3.00 poll tax and my neighbor be passed up, or Mr. Smith pay and Mr. Jones let go only because Mr. Smith and 1 aro a little easier than ' Mr. Jones and my neighbor. ' Last year thoro wore several hun dred who did not pay poll tax. This year thoro will bo ono moro. 1 have paid poll tax hero and other places for 17 years but 1 was born just across tho line from Missouri so you will have to nearly show mo boforo 1 pay any more. Your for fair play, A CITIZEN. ROMS BEST Judge Coke Says They Offer Solution of Highway Problem Here. "Plank roads, properly built, offer tho solution of the road building problem for this section", remnrked Judge John S. Coke the other day af ter he had leturned from a trip over part of tho old Coos Bay Wagon road. Judgo Coke has been making considerable Investigation of the load building problem in this section and also Investigating what other communities aro doing. "On this trip, I discovered a few things that surprised me," continued Mr. Coke, "I found that Road Sup ervisor Harry had put in an excel lent plank road at a cost of about $1,000 per mile for lumber and lay ing it. He built a road eight and nine feet wide out of 3 and 4 inch plank, laying it on stringers of the samo size, only longer lengths, and laying it Hat on the ground. On the sides, the dirt is thrown up against the ends to aid In keeping it in place. "Ho told me that to secure the best results it was necessary to have tho dirt road firmly packed before putting down tho plank. "Tho $1,000 per mile cost Is in addition to the cost of grading. It Is claimed that good fir lumber pro perly laid will last about fifteen years. In fact on tho Coos Bay Wagon road where they changed tho grade of a stretch that had been planked seven years ago, It was found that these plank were in good condition and wero laid again. "Tho cost of building rock roads will be upwards of $4,000 to $3,000 per mile. Unless they aro kept con stantly repaired, they will not last as long as Is claimed. At any rate plank road at a cost of $1,000 per mile would Insure good roads for nearly seventy-five years for what the original cost of a stone road would be. "Besides this, another advantage would' be that It would distribute the cost of building roads through the generations who will derive ad vantages from them. Also the lower cost of planking will enable us to build more roads, accommodate more people and Incidentally hasten the development of this section by mak ing more accessible to markets with the amount that we can now afford to spend on roads. For Instance, this year tho county will expend about $125,000 on its roads. If the high ways were already graded, we could build 125 miles of plank roads and with the plank road built as I have outlined, it would be difficult to se cure a better highway." BOATS RAISE FARES. Pugct Sound ni(l Frisco Lines Made Advance. PORTLAND, Ore., April 13. The Pacific Coast Steamship Company, operating tho President and Gover nor, has increased the first-class pas senger faio from Seattle to San Fran cisco to $22 and the second class to $1S, according to advices reach ing Portland. Formerly the rate was $20 and $1S. Already the advance has been the means of causing a number of travelers to come to Port land and engage berths on the Rose City for San Francisco. On the Steamers operated by the San Francisco & Portland Steamship Company the fare Is $10 and $13. With this big difference between the rates of the two companies, the Seat tloltes desiring to go to the Bay City by water routo can pay the expense of the rnllroad trip to I'ortlan'd and btlll bo ahead on the transaction. The Umatilla, which is also operat ed by the Pacific Coast Steamship Company on the same route, will car ry passengers at $1S and $20, but she is inadequate to handle more than a small portion of the business.
