P5H!iEl H i . . TUP P.OOS BAY TIMES, : mmmmmmmmmmim''mmmmmm ' " ' "I i BUILD NARROW ROADWAY NOW Coos County Good Roads Committee Meets at Co- quille to Discuss Bonding. At o mnntliitr of the Coos County ?3ood Roads Commltteo nt Couiillle yesterday, preliminary arrangements i were made for putting up me -u"' ' County road bonding proposition to the voters at an early election. The meeting was held at the Couulllc city hall In the office of Mayor Mor rison, who Is president of the Good Roads Association. The committee's report will be made to the next good roads meeting which will probably Je called at Bandon In the near fu ture. The division of the funds raised by bonding between the different sec tions of the county, the character of the road to be built and what Doug las County is going to do about its portion of the Myrtle Point road were the principal features discuss ed. It was finally decided to recom mend that the proposed trunk high way to be built by the money from the bond Issues should bo graded their full width, but that only nine feet Instead of sixteen feet of them should be hard surfaced at first. This will reduce the cost to about ,$10,000 a mile and the balance of "seven foul can lo hard.urfnced Intel'. By having the road graded the full width, the dirt portion can be used In the summer tlmo If desired. As to the nttltude of Douglas County, somo of tho committee held that It would bo foolhardy to expend ft largo amount on building n hard surface road from Myrtle Point to the Douglas County lino unless they were certain that Douglas County would continue tho porinnnent road way from that point to Kosoburg. Myrtle Point Is especially desirous of hnvlng this portion built and Is Insisting that of tho $ tr.O.OOO bond Issue, $2fi'i,000 sball bo sot asldo for building thnt portion of the road. Bandon wants $1 10,000 to build tho cloven miles of road from Hun- don to tho Curry County lino. This would leave only about $"r.,ono for the roads on the Coos Hay side of tho county and tho Coiiulllo district proper. This resulted In figures on what tho different districts were paying In county road tnxes, Win. (1 rimes In sisting Hint unless tho Coos Hay side be nHSured that they would got a fair portion of tho money from tho bonds they would probably voto against tho bond issue, Ho Insisted thai tho road should bo nt least built from North Ileud hi Coqnlllo out of tho funds and that unless Coos County Is guaranteed that Douglas County will hnrd surface its portion of the Myrtlo Point road way that tho money ho spent on the principal highways in tho county. Ho quoted tho following figures of what the road taxes of tho differ ent sections of the county would pay under tho now assessment: Coos Hay and Coqullle sections North Bond district, $1 l.fiHO; Marsh flold district. $ U :i . 1 f, 0 ; Mllllngtou district, f 2 tar. ; Summit district, 690; Coqnlllo district, $sn:ir. To tal. $r..,tro. Myrtlo Point Section, Myrtle Point district, $51100; ltemoto and Bridge districts. $S0Sfi. Total. $t:t. 285. This Includes all tho districts botween Myrtlo Point and the Doug las County line. Bandon to Curry district- Ban don, $SI70 and adjoining district, 820. Total, $112110. This makes a total of $52,150 taxes paid by tho Coqnlllo and Coos Bay districts In which It was first proposed to allow only about $75, 000 of the bond money for perman ent roads against a total of $22, 4J75 for tho Myrtlo Point and nan don dlstrlcta which wore to get f 37 5,000 of the bond money, Mr. Grimes contends that such a division would probably result In tho votora of tho county defeating the proposi tion altogether. Some suggested that probably If there was not enough money raised by thq county bond Issue to com plete tho trunk lines, tho road dls tricts through which lliey pass might voto additional tax levies and thus bo able to finish the trunk lines. Those present yesterday were Dr. Ira B. Bartle, Peter I.ogKle, Hugh Mcl.uln, Col. Crimes, J. W. Mast, L. A. Hoborts and Claude X. Nosier. I' 'AING THE WATERI'ltONT.
