A 1922 report argues that improved highways suffer severe wear from heavy ute trucks and fast buses. Without tire and load regulations the roads will deteriorate within a year or 80, leading taxpayers to fund repairs. Passenger stages also cause damage when traveling at high speeds.
The item discusses government share of highway costs and the burden of repairs on taxpayers, urging public authorities to regulate vehicle loads and impose taxes to balance damage on improved highways. It also reports the dissolution of the partnership between John S. Symes and J. Symes over a stock ranch and farming business.
Notice to income taxpayers from Payette reads that individuals with a $1000 income must file a return and married couples with $2000 net income must file. It also states all with $5000 gross income must file, urges Deputy Collector to bring receipts and disbursements lists, and requires farmers to use Farm 1040 and business taxpayers to submit schedules.
