ROSEBURG NEWS-REVIEW. FRIDAY. JANUARY 13. 1928. FIVE ROAD DISTRICTS IY LINE? BDUNDAF CHANGES MADE Take Territory South of Roseubrg. the base of ML Kebo, while money i also needed to maintain toe road leading to the aviation field section. - , Form Big District , i One of the most important changes was effected in the lower Smith River country. There is now road from Sulphur Springs to the fulls on Smith ltiver and a road for a few mil lea up the North Fork. I These roads do not connect up and only lead to the river, where the residents must take boats to reach Reedsport or Gardiner. For many 'years the Smith River people have been endeavoring to secure a road, hut hnrmi0 rtf th front rnt nnth. New District Is Created to iug has ever been done. There is a : road from Gardiner f to Florence (running considerably ' west of the I North Fork, and there is a road up Fiddle Creek in Lane county, connecting up with the Gardiner Florence road, but not quite reach ing North Fork. The county now proposes to connect up the Sulphur Springs road with the North Fork road and have the promise of the Sluslaw national forest that If this is done the forest service will, con nect the Fiddle Creek road with the other end of the North Fork road and thus give a way out to Florence or ' Gardiner' for the Smith River residents. This road, however, is not Intended to be the main Smith River road, but is merely designed for an outlet for a few years while 'a road is built down the river from Sulphur Springs to Gardiner. This will be heavy and expensive construction, but the growing importance of the Smith River district is believed to justify the expenditure. County Surveyor Eppstein is now surveying the proposed North Fork connecting road . and it is THREE, ARE UNITED Consolidation at Smith River to Help in Build ing Way Out to Port. Only a few changes In road dis trict boundaries have been au thorized by the county court which has had several proposed . altera tions under consideration. A new district has been created to take care of . Umpqua Park, Miller's Addition and the aviation . field, and a consolidation in the Smith Vi.rii.r ... .1.- . T..,n,f.i hoped to build that section during ing an important road . there. h coming "uramer. The district ip nhannes have also been au-! . . . Minor changes have also . been au-! thorized in the Kellogg and Tyee districts and the Dlxonvllle and South Deer Creek boundaries. The request for a consolidation of Cleveland and Cole a Valley dis tricts was denied. , ., By taking portions of Districts 37, Melrose; 18, Happy Valley; and 38, Roberts Creek, the county court has created a new district, No. 81, which takes in Miller's Addition, Umpqua Park and the aviation field roads. The new dis trict has a . valuation of between $150,000 and $200,000 which will ruise approximately ... $250 yearly for maintenance and will permit the district to raise a maximum of $1,500 by means of special, tax if dosired. The Miller's Addition resi dents have been anxious to secure a new district in order to have a loop road improved in .that section. The road will follow Booth and Mars tors . streets f and Starmer street, which forms a connection between the two east- and -west streets, one lying on each, side of 'Farrolt Creek. Tho Umpquu park residents ; are i anxious -to., have money spent on their road,' along Envoy of Arias Ottivio Scottio Is this jovial gen tleman.

It is then proposed to start construction on a good, substan tial road from Sulphur Springs to Gardiner. In order to provide funds to take care of tills improvement program the county court has de cided to consolidate all of the in terested districts, Numbers A and 73 and a part of 5, giving a dis trict with a valuation of more than a million dollars. ; Deny Consolidation The petition asking for the con solidation of Coles Valley and Cleveland districts 'was . denied. There was a considerable mum ence of opinion regarding' this pro posed change, each lac Lion being well represented. After giving the proposition thorough considera tion the' court' decided not to make any change in boundaries at this time. - - The boundary line between dis tricts 9 and '68 Kellogg, and Tyee, was shifted. The .line , was moved about one mile north giving dis trict 53 about Hi sections ioi island formerly within tho Kullos dis trict; Thoir' a portion, -jot i& was give into No, 0 extending' along the ivellogetroad.' . . ... wj; Between districts 39 and S2.

Formerly the Dixonville dMi-1 trict took in a portion of the Deer Creek road. - May Revise System There is a good deal Of; talk at the present time concerning a com plete revision of the county's' foaj system. Now there are nearljj (70 separate road districts, each Hav ing a small amount of road with valuations ruuuing 1 all the way fronr $5U,000 to more than one nu lion dollars. Some districts, badly in need of road improvement, have not the wealth to build their roads, while others with well im proved roads have plenty of money. It Is planned tc organize the coun ty Into about ten largo road , dis tricts. A permanent road crew would then be maintained in each district, so that continuous road work could bo kept up. This would give sutficient valuation in each district to properly improve and keep each main road In good con dition and at the name time leave maintenance funds for the smaller and less used roads. This plan is, of course, opposed by many farm ers who have been in the habit of voting a special roud tax on the heavy timber holders and then get ting employment on the roads so that they could earn back what they had paid plus a portion of the money paid by the timber owners. Such a system, the court believes, while providing' a source of in come to many persons throughout the county, is not conducive to ef ficient road building and there is a strong sentiment favoring tho larger district plan.

An eminent professor in a leading sci entific institute has completed a very Interesting fesi on a most re markable white light tor home use. The test shows that this wonder light is superior to electric, is cneaner than common oil light and Is the closest to sunlight of any artificial light. A leading eye specialist says this light is a boon to country people where poor lights are causing much damage to eyeHight.
