Sewer District Extension Sewer extension in Block 28 will be carried out as soon as funds for the purpose are available. Notice for bids was posted on the city hall for the digging of a sewer trench of approximately 124 feet, to take care of the new residence of Mr. Schlre- man. These bids will be opened at 6 p. m tonight according to plans At a public hearing held Wednes day at 2:90 p. m. In Vale, the Ooun ty Court listened to a group of farm ers, and business men from Nyssa, Vale and Ontario, give their sanc tion to the proposed Issuance of road bonds In the amount of $100,- . 000 Judge Graham Gives Purpose Of Meeting County Judge Graham expallned to the meeting that the purpose of the Court In calling the meeting was to get some Idea of the reaction of the people throughout the county, to the contemplated bond issue. Judge Graham went over the road situation for the past seventeen years, recounting that since he had taken office the court had felt it necesary, during the depression years to cut the road levy. And that with the ruling against raising assessments more than six per cent In any one budget year he felt that the bonds would give the county good roads now rather than having to wait years for the assessments to rise to a point that would enable the county to put in good roads. Attorney Asks For Committee Robert Lytle, attorney of Vale, asked, in the form of a motion, that a committee be appointed, by the court for the purpose of working out a plan c f allocation of the funds for certain specific roads. This com mittee would be oom posed of both farmers and business men from var ious localities of the county. The number to serve on the committee would be left to the Judgment of the court, according to the motion. Allocation Meets With Approval The plan for allocation met with universal approval of all present, judging from the talks that were made by the farmers, especially. Ontario Mayor Asks For Delay Mayor Aiken of Ontario asked that the bond election be delayed until It could be determined from President Roosevelt whether the contemplated roads could be built with CCC labor. This plan was not favorable to the group, due to the fact that it woluld mean delay of building of the roads and the atti tude of the government in frowning on the use of the three O’s. This coupled with the opposition of a Road Builders Association against the use of such labor, made It ap parent to those present that plans for the bonds should be worked out, and In the meantime to see if Presi dent Roosevelt could be prevailed upon to allow the CCC labor. Members of Committee to be Named Members of the committee for the formulation o f allocation plans will be named at a later date by the county court.
