THE COURT'S REPLY
TO GRANGER CRITICS
Moou IUVkh, Owe.. Jt.ne 27. '11
Idlltor News:
In order to correct a wronjr Im-
pri'HHlon willed Hceiim to have unduly
nUnti'd the inlndH of Home of our
Krnner friends on the Kant Side of
the vulley relative to the grndea an
entulilUlii'd at some points on the
new macadam road now-Ix-lug built
In that district, I wish to say that the
irradatlon nt the points In contro
versy have been determined by nctu
al survey und Instead of "K percent or 9
percent or even 7 per cent" to be a lit
tle less than " per cent on an aver
nge. It Is true that our first survey
gave us a maximum grade of about
7 per cent at one or two points for a
short distance on this road, but our
Court sometime njro. upon further
cnnslderatlon of the matter, decided
to modify these points somewhat
which produces the result above men
tinned In our last survey.
As a matter of fact a " per cent or
ti per cent grade In a mountainous
county such as ours Is not an execs.
slve grade, .especially with a hard
surfaced road. If, on the other hand
It were practical I would say ellml
nate all grades on our roads, but we
all know that this Is neither practi
cal nor possible In our county. And
more especially Is this true when our
Court must constantly remember
that all parts of our couuty con
tribute to the making of our general
road fund from which the macadam
road Is built, and that there are
oilier districts In the valley "wait
Inn" fur the construction of macad
inn mail; inereiure, in onier io nc
coiiipliKli the greatest good for the
irre.-itcHt numlier of our citizens we
inu-l divide i lie benefits derived from
this fund.
In the contractsawariled for build
ing the macadam road this year the
nrlccs obtained for tilts work are
from $1(HM) to $1.VH per mile less than
the cost of the macadam road built
by our county during the past two
years, and so far as can Ik' observed
at this time I think it will be just ns
good road as that previously con
structed and In some r.ispectH per
haps a little lietter.
As to the pl'-ce of rock road being
built between Mr. Kike's new resi
lience and Van Horn station which
our Court wa requested to discon
tinue by the committee appointed at
the "Indignation meeting" held at
Pine (irove Grange Hall last week, I
wish to say that I mm much as this
road becomes nearly Impassable dur
ing the winter for the heavy traffic It
carries, as Is well known to the citi
zens of the F.ast Side, Home substan
tial repair upou It became almost
Imperative In-fore another apple crop
Is to be moved, ami ns the tsst thing
to do for the least money until ier
manet Improvement could be reached
on tills road we decided to use upon
It the rock from "Van Horn ISutte"
as thi' only available material.
Notwithstanding the complaint
arising from some of our granger
blends, I observe that about !." per
cent of the citizens who use thlH road
over which to haul their apples to
the warehouses and station heartily
approve our action In reference to Its
Improvement, and In view of the
facts recited above I would say that
all others opposing It from other mo
tives will needs be content with our
secondary consideration In the mat
ter. ii:o. I). Ci i.ukkthon.

outcome of a quarrel with Harris,
