DOUGLAS STREET HILL Farmers From Deer Creek Section Wait on County Court This Afternoon Misunderstanding as to Source of Funds. . ' Opposition to improvement of the road extending from the end of the pavement on the Douglas street hill to the Deer creek bridge brought a delegation before the county court In support of a protest against the work, as well as the proseiiuo of a number of citizens who favored ex penditure of funds for the proposed alterations. When apportionment of public money was made for highway work, aside from that raised by regu lar taxation, the sum of $10,000 was designated by the court for improv ing the highway to Dixonvllle. Ow ing to the bad condition of tho east approach to the Douglas street hill and the roadl to the cemetery, this also being a rural mail route, the court decided, with advice of three gentlemen representing the business and farming interests, to apply $2500 to that part of the road be tween the top of the hill and the creek. The impression having gained ground that tho monuy proposed to be spent was regu lar funds raised by direct taxa tion on farm property in that roud district, a petition was circulated protesting against the expenditure. Ninety-four names were affixed to this protest. On the other hand, a petition sign ed by flNy-une persons residing along the oartteular stretch of road direct ly concerned asked for tho work to be done. About fifty taxpayers, among whom were several ladles, waited upon the court today in support of either tho protest or the petition, and after Rafe Dixon had ipresented the pro test, with a brief statement as to its purpose, a heated debate took place over the merits or demerits of the situation. B. L.Oiddy, representing the parties desiring the improvement to be made, gave a detailed explana tion of the whole affair, and during the discussion following it developed that a wrong impression prevailed as to the source of the funds proposed to be msed. Mr, pixon himself ad mitted that he was under the Im pression that it was regular district road money that was involved. The farmers present all agreed that the road work was necessary, but the time for doing the work and place of putting in the -improvement was the stumbling block,: After nearly an hour spent in getting their various views before the court, it was decid ed to leave the whole matter to the discretion of that body, and the dele gation retired with a kindly feeling toward the world in general, and this status was largely because of the light thrown upon the transaction by the court in stating that only bond money was to be used for the work proposed. In addition to the $2500 for that purpose specified, an other $7500 will also be used in building a permanent highway along Deer creek to Dixonvllle. The pro posed new grade on the cast side of the Douglas street hill will be 11 per cent. Engineer Germond stated' that the grade on Jackson street at the old McClallen hotel property is 10 per cent. And it was claimed that loads could be more easily handled on an 11 per cent hard gravel road than on the Jackson street hill, which is smooth pavement. While it is not known just what attitude the court will assume in the matter, it is presumed some work at least will be done on the part of road discussed at the meeting In I he court room today. 3 CITY NEWS Mrs. Nellie Casebeor left today for Portland where she will remain per manently.
