It's really the equivalent of daylight, atid that's why all up-to-date clorcs arc using it. Of course there are also other vital reasons, one of which is this: the G-E Mazda Lamp gives twice the light of the ordinary car bon incandescent lamp and cost3 les3to burn." The invention of the Mazda Lamp has caused thous and of people to liavo their houses and stoics wired for electric light.

I, tho undersigned, hereby stnto thnt I am and for tho past four yoaro havo boon n commissioner of tho County Court for Coos County. Oregon. Thnt when tho mnttor of opening tho waterfront roadway between Marshfleld nnd North Bond was firat presonted to tho County Court for consideration, tho question of tho ndvlsnblllty of condemning tho right-of-way for snld road through tho Btavo Mill proporty was carofully weighed by snld Court; thnt It was tho opinion of tho Court nt first that tho benefits to bo derived wem not such ns to Jwltlfy tho oxponsos: but upon tho representations of L. J. Simpson nnd other proporty hold ors In North Bond to tho effect that thoy would commonco work and build tho Nofth end of tho road Immodlntoly upon tho decision of tho court to go forwnrd and npproprlnte tho money necossnry to buy tho rlght-of-wny nnd build tho rond through" tho Stavo Mill proporty, tho said county court did, nt tho January, 1910, 'session Hhorepf, pass n resolution npproprlntlng snld monoy and did proceed nt onco to rho oponlng nnd Improvement of snld road through tho Stavo Mill proper'.', thnt this action would not hnvo boon taken liy tho court oxcopt for tho roprosontntlons nforosnld. (Signed) E. A. ANDERSON, Commissioner. I, E. E. Strnw, mnyor of tho City of Mnrshflold, hereby stnto that I hnvo examined tho mnp and plat hereto attached entitled a map showing tho proposed public highway connecting Mnrshflold and North Bind. Upon tho representations of ownors of proporty through which thnt portion of tho road connecting Stanton nvonuo at tho Intersection of Mnlno streots with Tromont streets nt tho intersection of Lombard street as shown by snld may to run. I petitioned tho County Court ns tho Mnyor of Marshfleld to build tint portion of tho rond which wis icondomncd through tho Stavo Mill proporty nnd running from tho norjh city limits or Mnrslilleld to tho sout'i city limits of North Bond. That l was ono of a number of people of Marshflold and North Bond of whom tho mayor of North Bend was one, who nppoared beforo tho Coun ty Court at tho January session, 1910, and petitioned tho court for nn appropriation to pay for tho condonmatlon of that part of tho rond last described. That It was upon tho ropresontntlon of responsible citizens of North Bend to tho effect that they wero ready, willing, nblo and de sirous of oponlng tho balanco of said road from tho south end In Tromont streot to tho Intersection of Stanton avenuo and Mnlno street along thi linos shown by tho attached map that I corsented to become ono A tho parties potltlonlng tho County Court. That later I learned from E. ,L. Roblson that ho was at ono tlmo omployed to mnko druft of that portion of tho road designated by snld map to run through tho Porter Mill property, for filing, to which map nnd plat was attached the dedicatory clause. Whether or not said plat was formally executed by tho Slmjson Lumber Company I am not at .'o As a further evldenco of my faith In tho promises of parties control ling tho land .over which this street or road must enter North Bond, I did vote off a tie In tho Marshfleld city council which caused tho prop, orty ownors of North Front street In tho city of MarBhflold to Improve their street nt tho expenso of some Thirteen Thousand Dollars ($13 000.00). This was as early In tho year 1907 Dated at Marshfleld, Orogon, this Sth day of Decomber, 1910. (Signed) E. E. STRAW. After henring theso authorized public statements to tho effect thnt said street would bo Immediately open nnd avnllnblo, tho wrltor nt much expense of monoy nnd time immediately sot about tho circulation of Ini tiative petitions asking that tho mntter of his application for a fran chise bo submitted to tho votors of tho city of North Bend nt a speclnl election to bo hold on April 18th of this year. This proceeding necessi tated tho passing of nn ordlnanco by tho council calling a special olec tlon on that day. When tho wrltor appeared boforo tho council ho' was told that although tho opening of tho road through tho Porter Mill property could bo handled there was no present opportunity of securing a pissago for tho road through blocks 35 and 3C of Plat B, and thru until that was procured they did not think It ndvlsablo' to submit tho question of tho frnnchlso to tho voto of tho people. Acting thoreforo upon tho assumption that tho representations of tho Interests In quo3 tlon would open tho road to a connection with Stanton avonuo whonJ over tho Kopf Intorests furnished a right-of-way hrough Plat B to Tromont streot, tho writer at his own cost and expense secured tho offer as based upon tho map and plat which has been heretofore pub licly approved by tho parties concerned In furnishing a practical connec tion of the waterfront road between Stanton avenue at the Intersection of Mnlno, nnd Tremont streot nt tho Intersection of Lombard street. No attempt theroforo to mako It appear that tho writer has attompt- i'u in iurcj upon any imprests in tno city or isortii liond a project for Jitho opening of this waterfront street of his own making, can succeed lu v tile face of tho disinterested nroofs that are furiillif-il hornwltli. An attempt hns been made to mi.te it appear that the offect of tlui franchise asked for will bo to tie up Tremont street In Pint B perpe tually. A reference to section 12 of the Ordinance will show conclusive:- "that If the lines or railway" thereby "required to be constructed, completed and operated nre not cous'.ructcd, completed and operated n and when by this section provided, then nil the fniiicliUes, rights mitt privileges Jinmlcd by thin urriliiniirc hIihII be forfeited by resolution of the common council of tho city of North Bend passed for thnt pur pose." And tho snmo section provldos that the franchises nnd prlvilosei granted by the ordinance shall In no event contln:. tor n. porioj longer thnn 3" years after tho dato thnt the o-iii.M.ce goes Into effect. This general clause providing forfoltu.-, kHo tho He every suggestion that there Is a Joker in the franchise. It has been said that tho wrltor can, If ho so desires, allow tho Marsh fleld franchise to lapse, but still hold control of tho wntorfront by opnr ntlng 1,000 feet of rond on Tremont Btreot from tho south end thereof to Its intersection with Lombard, and though operating it at n loss, con trol the olectrlc railway situation on Coos Bay Indefinitely. I call your attention to tho fact that If ho does this or Is allowed to do this It will bo with the consent of tho Intorests representing tho Porter Mill Com pany property, for It stnnds nt all times nblo to enforco tho duty lnld upon tho writer by section 12 or tho frnnchlso to commonco tho construc tion of tho linos of railway on and Into tho city of North Bend nud through said city to Simpson ParK by opening up the connection be tween Tromont streot at tho Intersection of Lombard and Stnnton nve nue nt tho Intersection of Maine n was agreed upon a year ago with tho county court; but In nddltlon to this the votors of North Bond must bo ronsonnblo nnd not chnrgo the writer with n purpose to Indulge In tho nbsurdlty of operating n stub of line beginning nowhoro nnd ondlng nowhore and upon which ho could carry no pnssongora for the purpose nieroly of hooping nllvo right In the city of North Bond which ho can not roach and utlllxi ; but on the other hand to rocognlso thnt, If ho hnd to sncrlllcp one or more or hi rrnnchlscs ho would In tho very nature- or things do the required construction work of ouo tnllo nnd operate tho snmo In tho city of Mnrnhlluld where ho now holds the vnlunble wnterfront franchise on Front street nnd whore hi tormliml railway traction lino Is superimposed upon tho Southern ' Pnclfle'e toi mlnnl grounds In snld city of Marshfleld by ronton of his having a frnn chlso on Front street south. To glvo credit to so nbiurd n suggestion Is to chnrgo tho wrltor olthor as wholly Incompotont (o euro for his own InteroBts or to say thnt ho Is so spitefully disposed ns to dostro rather to harm his fellow moil than to ndvnntngo hlmsoir In tho piopor con-, duct of his own personnl business enterprise. I feel confident that tho people or North Bond aro not going to "find mo guilty on olthor charge. Flnnlly, my friends, I hnvo spoilt much tlmo nnd monoy during tha pnst IS, months In my nttompt to develop nn ndequnto railway rlght-of-ytay connecting up theso two towns.
