Polk County Farmers Vote
Approval of Road Tax Levy
Dallai. Mv 19 Unanimous lupport of the special Polk couoty
10-mill road tax levy was voted at the May meeting of the 20-40
elub, an organization of farmer! Between tne age oj zu ana u
t th Rirltreall Grange hall.
At the aame time, however, the club qualified iti endorsement
with the clause, "provided that
a complete survey be made in
regard to efficiency of expenui
turns ."
The measure was thoroughly
discussed by the 40-odd mem
bers present after W. E. Know
r, county commissioner, had
presented an explanation of the
proposal. It was tne general ieei
ing that the levy is necessary to
aava the base of Polk county
roads before another severe win
ter strikes, but at the same time
members criticized road opera
tion! in the county as "in dire
need of more efficiency."
Robert A. Hamilton, chairman
of the club'a road committee,
led the discussion after Virgil
Trick, president, had turned the
meeting over to him.
Borrowing is Necessary
It was brought out that road
funds of the county were ex
hausted on April 1, and that it
was necessary to borrow funds
to help alleviate damage done
by the winter's storm. Knower
atated that the special tax will
absorb special road district No.
1 for the three-year period of
the levy. The special district tax
this year is 8.8 mills. Since the
proposed levy will be 10 milli,
rural residents will be paying
only 3.7 mill! more.
The commissioner a bo stated
that the levy will not establish a
new tax base for the six per
cent limitation since it is a spe
cial tax and is separate from the
budget.
The levy would raise an esti
mated $160,000 annually for
the three years. During the first
year, fundi would be devoted
largely to ditching, draining,
brushing out and graveling rur
al roads. In the second year at
tention would be focuied on re
pairing oil-surfaced roads, and
limited new construction of
hard lurfaced roads that might
be undertaken would come in
the third year.
Members declared that depre
ciation caused to autos and
trucka with the roads in the
preient poor condition is more
than enough to pay the cost of
the proposed tax.
Farmers Are Commended
Judge Jack Hayes at a meet
ing of the Dallas Chamber of
Commerce had commended
farmers for their cooperation in
repairing roada after the severe
winter. The eounty apent $31,
000 on the roada in one month,
he laid, but this amount would
havt been over $50,000 had It
not been for farmer! pitching In
voluntarily to help do the job.
In one initanca In the Perry-slale-BaUston
area, 18 farmers
worked with 16 of their trucks
for four days to restore the roads
to driving condition.
Thia was the last meeting of
the 20-40 club until fall. The
September meeting will have as
Iti topic, "Poultry," and Albert
Wilson will be chairman of the
meeting.
A field trip over the county
has been scheduled for Friday,
Junt I, and the club'a picnic will
bo on Sunday, June 12. Con
gressman Walter Norblad has
been Invited as guest speaker for
the picnic.

Big Silverton
'Cat' Is Slain
Silveron, May IB A cougar,
measuring an even seven feet
In length from tip to top, was
blinded by the headlight! of
a car in the Silverton Hills dis
trict driven by a man named
Patterson, was treed and
brought down by Walter Lar
son.
The cougar was sighted by the
driver of the car as it ran Into
the gleam of his lights around
10:30 o'clock near the Willard
Benson home. The big cat slunk
to the fence and was held there
as long as the lights were on it
Benson went to the Larson
home for the man and his hunt
ing hound and continued to an
other home for more dogs.
While Benson was on this
trek, Larson with a .22 rifle and
one hound went to the Benson
home, chased the cougar with
his dog and treed it back of the
Clarence Koehler home. Two
shots from the .22 felled the
cougar, and the last shot
through the head at close range
made certain the last of the
animal.
The residents of the area now
believe that many of their
chickens, goats, sheep, calves,
and in the wild, numerous deer
have disappeared because of this
and other cougars in the district.
Another cougar was chased
by an automobile and then kill
ed in a ditch while fighting
dogs in the Turner district late
Saturday night.
afternoon and other features
were a cake baking contest and
a fashion show. Also on the pro
gram were music and speech
arts classes.
