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.

Trust company asked to bo refunded

improving the street being changed
and the money was not refunded.

a short time ago and when a new as-
sessment was inn do against it for
improvement now being made, he dis
covered tho old payment. After
hoarlng tho mntter, tho council de
cided that Mrs. Lichtwcrck and not

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.
