No. 100 GRAVEL PLANT Will be Erected at Shady Point by Frank Waite. CAPACITY WILL BE 30 CARS A DAY S. I'.' Spur Will be Jtun to Plant and Cars Will He Loaded by Electric Hoists Plant Will Cost $!0,000. The good roads movement vPI no longer suffer from a lack o: good gravel at a cheap price. Today Frank B. Waite, the Sutheiiln capi talist, and O. T. Larson, formerly construction engineer for the Diilsby Company, of Chicago, perfected ar rangements for the construction of & modern gravel plant to be locatel at Shady Point about 2 miles south of Roseburg. The Southern Pacific Company will put in a spur to the plant and some time this spring gravel will be shipped to various points. The gravel bed Is about 40 acres in extent and is from 20 to 30 feet in depth which makes the deposit almost Inexhaustable. Elec tric hoisting devices will pull the .gravel from the bed to the plant end similar devices will load the gravel Into the cars. The capacity of the plant will be about 30 cart a day and. the cost of erection will be around $20,000.00. In speaking to a News represen tative this afternoon Mr. Waite said "Onr plant will mean a gre.it sav ing to municipalities and road dis tricts. We will have a municipal rate which will be about 25 cents a yard at the plant. We are trying to get a favorable freight rate and believe it will be obtained. This will lay gravel down in the towns along the road for about 75 cents a yard, which Is greatly lower than they have been paying heretofore. The road districts will also receive advantage of this municipal .-ate. The gravel is Of a high grade and will make excellent road heds or surfaces." Mr. W'alte left for Sutherlin on the afternoon train and will return here again in a few days when the en gineers are ready to begin work.

DR.HOUCK FOR SPECIAL HEALTH OFFICER Cost of raving Estimated from $1,110 to $'-.00 Per Running Foot Li'.dy Wants Tax on Dog Refunded. After a discussion lasting through several meetings of the council the petition of A. Creason, W,' B. Atter- bury and 13 others for permission to pave East Sixth street from the north line 'Of Second Avenue South to the north line of Second Avenue North, with concrete pavement, 20 feet wide, was finally grunted. The petition was not granted un til after considerable discussion us the granting of the same marks a new departure in the manner of levying street assessments. The pe titioners ask that the costs of the improvement be assessed upon the property especially benefitted there by, and charges the cost of the pav ing upon the property owners back to the middle of the block adjoining the street to be paved. The 15 signatures attached to the petition represent all the property owners, with one exception, living on the streets running into East Sixth street. The one exception Is now absent In California or It Is probable that ho would have signed the pe tition. Al Creason, however, ex pressed his willingness to pay for him should he refuse to do so, which 0 thought unlikely. The cost of the proposed Improve ment was roughly estimated by City Engineer Hicks to be in the neigh borhood or $1.90 to $2.00 per run ning foot,, and the cost of the same is to be assessed to the property affected according to their, distance from the street to he paved. Councilman Fiillerton suggested that the property owners might pos sibly disagree among themselves as to what each should pay but after It appeared that the matter had al ready been discussed among them and that they were In accord as to what would constitute a just assess ment upon all affected and that they were willing to bond themselves for such payment the petition was fin ally granted. Councilman Hamilton alone voting "no" upon the ground that the city charter says that such assessments must he collected from the properties abutting the streets Improved. The city engineer was Instructed to draw up plans and specifications for the paving. The petition o W. L. Cobb, J. F. Barker and W. S. Hamilton for permission to construct a cement sldewnlk, 6 feet wide, on both sides of Washington street between Main and Kane was granted. DoK Taxed to Death. The following amusing petition from a well known Roseburg lady was received and read among much inughter: "Roseburg, Or., March 9, 1914 "To the Hon. Mayor and Common Cotincilmen of the City of Rose burg, Oregon: "Gentlemen: On January 20th 1 paid a dog license of $1.50 to the city treasurer of Roseburg Oregon, and on January 23rd the dog died. I ask that the amount be refunded." Whether the thought of imposing such a heavy burden upon his he loved mistress proved too much for the tender sensibilities of the dog or whether he died from natural causes did not develop. At any rate the common (?) counciimen refus ed to grant the petition. Clairg Ktreet Improvement. Elbert Hermann appeared before the council In behalf of C. L. Bar gar and others asking permission to Improve Claire street. fTho street committee had pre viously rejected the petition and left the matter to the mayor on account of the peculiar construction of the street necessitating the building of what was called a double deck road and the construction of a retaining wall. The street committee thought It possible that In case the road should cave In or should the wall be destroyed that the city would be un der the expense of rebuilding it and of maintaining it forever. The mayor said that it was a very difficult matter to decide and that he wished the assistance of the coun cil in passing upon It as he did not like to tako the responsibility upon himself. Sir. Hermann stated that th prop erty owners were willing to pay for the upkeep of the street and would put up a maintainence bond to that purpose. After some further discussion thr ulvcrsrt reror of the street crt" -tee upon the improvement was re jected by the following voto: Yes, Bullwinkie, Clark, Fullerton and Sliafer, No, Powell, Hamilton and Clark. Following tho motion of Councilman Fullerton that the pe tition be granted ir the petitioners would guarantee tho upkeep of the road was passed by a similar vote. The city engineer was accordingly Instructed to draw up plans and specifications for the same in con formity with the wishes of the pe titioners. . Speclul Health Officer. Councilman Fullerton called the attention of the council to the fact that many residents of the city had failed to make proper sewerage connections and that the Beason of the year was approaching when such was absolutely necessary.
