Kdltor Times: In Tho Times of July 22nd, ap peared an article from Myrtle Point roiorrlng to street Improvements In which matters wero so grossly mis represented that It calls Tor correc tion. Tho truth In tho matter Is this. Tho remoustrauco against paving Rnllroad nvenuo was Blgned by pro perty owners representing more than two-tlilrds or tho frontage of tho street to bo paved. Consequently the council mid mayor had to let the ordlnanco for paving drop. Thoy had no choice. So much for Rnllroad nvenuo which was tho longest pleco of street up for paving. As to Spruce streot from Slxti. streot to Railroad nvonue, when first up for consideration by tho council. a remonstrance was on fllo Hlgirod by owners or representing owners or more than two-thlrds or tho frontngo on street proposed to bo paved. Nev ertheless tho council lininodiatoly took tho matter up again, adopted a resolution for paving, same as be fore, posting notices and setting a time for hearing. Then, at the conn, ell mooting, u remonstrance, Blgned by owners or representing owners or a majority or rrontngti root on tho street to bo paved was presontotd t. tho council. And when the vote was called, three of tho coiincllinen voted yes, and !1 voted no. Doing a tie tho mayor cast the deciding vote, ami like a man stood by the mniorltv in i.. nffected by tho decision. At tho next council meeting tho samo ordlnanco was reconsidered, with tho same result, except that one cmincllninii who had voted against passing was absent.. To nil appear unco and knowledge matters stood ur nctly as on the provloiiH mooting, Tlio mayor voted no, or rather vetoed the ordinance. What else could bo do and act ralrly? Ho considered tho wishes of tho majority mid acted ac cordingly.
