County Official
Paper
There is a movement on foot to
divide Road District No. 3, which
includes St. Helens, Houlton.
Yankton and Bachelor Flat. It
is proposed to make tho City of
St. Helens a district by itself.
This has been largely brought
about by the feeling displayed
between tbo people 'of nomer.f
the other localmej and the i.e.
pie of thi city. A levy of 31-41
three and a quarter mill wusj
made at tho mcelinf hat Satur-1
day for special impr jvementa in j
the district of 'Ahtch amount. St.. j
lb-lens pays about 40 per centj
while tho balance of the district
pays M pr cent. This pro rata
has existed Tor some lime, not
quite so marked as the past two
years, but the people of this city
are claiming that they pay near
ly 40 per cent of the apecial tax
es and that not over 10 per cent
has been used on the roads in
the city. On the other hand some
of the other people are claiming
that St. Helena is trying to (ret
more than its share. So, takintr
all thinzs into consideration is
has leen suggested, and action
has already been started to di
vide the district so that the City
shall bo in a district by itself.
Let us do a little figuring and
see whether or not this would be
a Rood move. A levy of 3 1-4
mills in the entire district will
raise approximately $7500. The
same levy in the City of St. Hel
ens will raise about $2500. With
that amount to spend on the
county roads inside the city lim
it each year for a few years

could be paved with hard sur
face pavement. But when it is
distributed over the roads of the
district it helps to the
roads all over the district m
good hape. So that taking the
same levy the city, from a strict
ly selfish standpoint, would le
much better olT to be in a dis
trict by itself. On the other
hand a levy of 3 1-4 mills on the
balance of the district woulJ
raise lout $5000 which when
scattered all over tho district
would just keep the roads in
their present condition and per
mit of gome permanent improve
ment each year. If the district
is divided the city will get much
the better of the argument, for
the levy will not have to be near
ly so much in order to make the
same kind of improvements as
are being made now, while the
country will have to make a
hijrher levy in order to keep up
the work already started.
But there is another side to
the question which should be
considered. It is of great mo
ment that the roads leading into
the city should be such as will
permit the farmers to come to
town any time of the year, with
their produce. The country trade
is important to our business life
and unless we do our share to
ward making it easy for the far
mer to get to town he may go to
some other trading point. Then
it can be argued that money
spent by the taxes raised by the
property of the city on the roads
leading into the city, U money
well apent. However taking it
from all angles, considering the
apparent bitter feeling between
some of the outlying districts and
the city, it looks like the proper
thing to do is to divide the district.
