BORROW FOR ROAD WORK
The county court has said that it probably
vMould be able to carry on very little county
road work this w inter due to la tk of funds tin t;!
money is available on the 1931 budget. In the
m eantim e the sta te and federal governm ents
have m ade available road m oneys several m onths
ahead of the usual tim e so as to aid em ploy
m ent. President Hoover has called on state,
county and m unicipal governm ents to do as m uch
work as possible this w inter in order to help
th e jobless.
While it is tru e th a t the county has no m oney
available in the road fund for th is work at
present the county h as m any th o u san d s of dollars
in the sinking fund. Under present conditions
of unem ploym ent it seem s justifiable to us to
borrow from the sinking fund for road work until
taxes com e in to replace the m oney in the sin k
ing fund.
By borrow ing projects carried in the budget for
1931 m ight be started now. Clearing and other
work th at w eather would perm it to be done this
w inter would furnish em ploym ent for m any men.
who would otherw ise have no occupation. Cities
and school districts have borrow ed from their
sinking funds w ithout th e validity of the practice
being a ttack ed and a t a tim e like this it is un
likely th a t there would be opposition to the
county borrow ing from itself in order to expedite
em ploym ent.

The loss of Councilm an W. C. M cLagan. who
is m oving to N orth Bend w here he can better
supervise the power com pany’s big new steam
plant, will be felt in Springfield. He brought
a technical trained mind to the council which
it had not had heretofore and also a willingness
to do. His was a service th a t will be hard to
replace.

THANKSGIVING
Once m ore the people of th e United S tales
have been called upon by th eir IT etldent to
»»list rve th - last T hursday in Novem ber as a
day on which to give th an k s for the m anifold
blessings which we have been vouchsafed.
