Endorses Bonding Plan.
Editor Gazette: In the
matter of county roads which
seems to be attracting particular
attention at this time I beg to
endorse the sentiment so far ex
pressed as to the necessity for
good roads and the benefits to be
derived therefrom.
There is no one thing that
more for - the enterprise
of the citizens ot a comunity,
nor that makes a; better impres
sion on the new comer, , and is
more attractive than nice, neat
public buildings, good roads and
nicely kept homes and farms. I
take it that it is generally agreed
that we must have a betterment
in our public thoroughfares.
But the question is how best to
obtain them. This is a matter
that may require same legisla
tive consideration. It will not
do to depend upon private con
tributions either , in work or
money to supplement our pres
ent road tax, because all men
will not agree as to the amount
they should contribute, nor when
and how it should fce bestowed.
The only just and equitable way
is by taxation, which will reach
and fall on all alike, both resi
dent and non-resident according
to wealth and ability to pay. It
has been suggested that the
county be bonded.
As a rule I am opposed to
bonding future generations. But
in this case, as our county is out
of debt, times are getting pros
perous and our people are out ot
debt, and roads and bridges are
. . . : j t
an absolute puunu .eci-y, .
would suggest that should I be
chosen by the people f Benton
county to represent them in the
state senate I shall layor a Dili
authorizing the county court of
Benton county to Jissue any sum
of County Road and Bridge
Bonds not to exceed the sum of
,ooo to run say ten years, buti
to be redeemable earner at tne
pleasure of the county; to draw
interest not to exceed 4 per cent. '
annually. Provided the legal
tax payers of the county shall!
vote in favor ot said bonds at a
special election to be ordered by
the county court. The court to
first determine the amount of
bonds necessary to be issued af-
- - 1 i
ter thorough consideration; saia
bonds to be issued in denomina
tions of $100 each, and be sold j
to the citizens of Benton county
and to the highest bidder, giving
any citizen a chance to purchase.
The roads to be improved accord
ing to certain specifications and
be let by contract, by the mile,
to the lowest bidder, and also to
the citizens of the county, there
by aiding and encouraging home
men and retaining the money at
home.
The commissioners' court to
be authorized by the act to levy
a small road tax with other taxes
to be used in creating- a sinking
fnd to meet and pay off the
bonds. The contractors of road
work to either enter into bonds,
the same as bridge builders, or
to receive one-half the contract
price at the completion of his
work and the other half six
months later, conditioned that
his work stands the test of six
months use. If not, let them be
repaired by the contractor at his
expense so as 'to comply with
contract, then get the remainder
of his money from the county.
This is the outline of my plan
for the betterment of our public
highways, bridges, etc. By this
means the roads and bridges can
be improved, evtry one benefit
ted will pay for it and no one
miss materially the expense.
There are some other changes
in some of the present laws I re
tard as being: very essential
whirh T heme to discuss before
the people prior the election.
Yours truly,
F. P. Morgan.
Mr. Farley's Idea.
From a number of sources we
learn that the plan suggested by
the Gazette in a recent issue, for
the betterment of our county, roads
is meeting with general favor. In
another column Mr. F. P. Morgan
discusses the plan proposed and
outlines a practical method ot leg
islative nroceedure. It seems to us
that the only practical way 10 get,
. 1 A.
good roads, and get them quickly,
economically and in a way that te
burden of expense can oe most
easilv borne, is by the bonding
method outlined in our issue 01 me
- .... P i 1
1 th inst.
Mr Farley has a plan which has
m. with some favor, but it is sim-
nlv structure built of old methods
anH it embodies their objectionable
features, as well as their good
points. Mr. Farley's plan is sub
etnntia V tnis: UBl ail mo oupra
visors of the county draw up peti-
Hnn and cause them to be circu
lated in their respective districts,
... . f Al.-nKaAv wrrwly- TTolinnfT
.A loom at $2.. 'SO ner dav.
a man - x J 1
nd a single hand at 1.5u per day.
Give those who subscribe the privi
lege of putting the work on the road
that eacn is most iuikibbicu iu.
The county court is to be asked to
rlnnate from the public fund one
AnWar for each dollar that is sub
scribed by the citizens of the sever
al restricts, the supervisor to give
the man that donates labor the
privilege of working out the money
tpd bv the county.
By this plan the county would
speaks
practically , be employing : men on
the roads at a wage of 75 cents per
day, and men with, teams at $1.50
per day. The work would be done
under the supervisors instructions,
but each man could work on the
road in which he was most inter
ested. ' F "
Now, unfortunately -it. happens
that the season best adapted to
roadmaking comes just at a time
when farmers can employ their
time to best advantage and greatest
profit on their farms. 'Seventy-five
cents per day" is no temptation to
them, and inen who , are seeking
employment can find more remun
erative work. The recent work
done on the Corvallis-Philomath
.road was economically handled, yet
those employed with teams received
$2.40 per day for their labor. At
this sum, even, farmers could not
be induced to -neglect their other
work, and Corvallis teamsters haul
ed the gravel for this road.
It is plain to be seen, then, tnat
the opportunity offered by Mr. Far
ley's plan will be seized, upon by
those wrio live in the mountain
districts, and the mam-traveled
roads will be - neglected. In other
words, where the work of improve-'
t . a!
ment should reany Degin at me
J It A? -1J
mam centers 01 population anu
spread outward, it will begin at the
extremities ,." and crawl backward.
While the county court has never
refused to encourage volunteer work
on the main roads by contributing
dollar for.dallar, its policy has been
to give the roads which accomodate
only a few persons, a fraction of the
amount subscribed by the citizens
of such districts. Thjs method is
wise and equitable; but Mr. Farley's
plan would give the private rbads
the same privilege enjoyea oy our
main thoroughfares.
It has been stated that the plan
advocated by Mr. Farley was em
ployed in the emprovement of the
state road south of Corvallis three
years ago. This is a mistake. The
business men of Corvallis contrib
uted $619.21 for the betterment of
the four miles of road immediately
south of the Marys river bridge,
and the county court appropriated
a like amount. This money was
used to employ men and teams to
improve the road. The 'following
fall $100 was subscrioea to do usea
. - : j 1 41
in graveling mis rou anu mo
court appropriated a like amount,
so that under these favorable con
ditions that short strip of road has
cost over $300 per mile, and still
needs attention. The plaa supgest-
d by the Gazette and elaborated
upon by Mr. Morgan, win give us
better roads in a much shorter time,
at far less expense, than by any
other plan so far devised.
