The Times notes an article in
last week's issue of the Hills
boro Independent relative to
state aid for Washington county
highways. The article stated
that it is proposed that the first
years' appropriation be used to
hardsurface the road between
Hillsbore and Forest Grove. A
delegation from those towns,
including County Judge Reas
oner, held a conference with the
state highway commission at
Salem last week. This delega
tion suggested an appropriation
of $10,000 by the commission, to
which would be added a one-mill
tax levy by Washington county.
The suggestion is good one, and
we heartily agree to the program
with exception of one feature.
That is in the place of beginning
this permanent improvement.
It occurs to us that the wiser
plan would be to start the im
provement at the Multnomah
county "line, where that county's
hard surface . ends, making a
continued line of permanent
highway westward, instead of
beginning in the western part of
the county and building east
ward, thus leaving a long stretch
of unimproved road for several
years, as is proposed by our
neighbors to the west of us. A
jump from the Multnomah coun
ty line to Hillsboro would leave
a gap of about fourteen milles of
of the most used portion of road
in Washington county. As a
matter of accommodating the
greater amount of travel, the
comparison is at least three to
one in faver of this end of the
road over that between Forest
Grove and Hillsboro. Then why
rot use the first available funds
where they will accommodate
the greater amount of travel?
A road that is good here and
bad there is very unsatisfactory.
Hillsboro itself would be accom
modated to a greater extent by
a permanent road at this end
than it would by the proposed
improvement, and Forest Grove
Did you ever stop to think that
if a town, community, county or
state is worth living in it is
worth improving." We do not
mean that it may be necessary
for a community to overburden
itself by bond issues, or too high
taxation. Moderation is always
advisable. A bond issue may'
sometimes be advisable to avoid
too high taxes when an improve
ment is needed. The same im
provement may be made by a
bond issue to avoid this burden
some tax. A little increase in
taxation will wipe out the bonds
in a few years and the taxpayer
hardly notice the small extra
tax. During these years the
people can bp enjoying the im
provements as well as a material
increase in their property values.
Besides, the newcomers they
may have induced to locate with
them as a result of the bettered
condition will help to pay the
bonds, and thus make easy what
might be considered-a burden, if
done by direct taxation.
