XL ROSEUURO, OREGON, TUESDAY EVKXIXG, NOVEMBER 3, 1008. NO. 212. Review, A Ordinance Read First Time Up to Voters in Jan. FOR $35,000, AS BEFORE 12-Foot Sidewalk Ordinance Passed Despite- Remonstrance From Some of Heaviest' Taxpayers A fresh start toward street paving and the construction of a concrete steel bifdge over Deer Creek was taken Dy the city council In regular meeting Monday night, when the first of three necessary readings was given an ordinance for the notation of $35, 000 worth df municipal bonds with which to defray 00 per cent of the cost of the work. '.The ordinance, which was drafted and recommended by Attorneys Coshow and Rice, cov ers only those Btreets or parts of streets originally mapped out for the . proposed Improvement. It is care fully prepared to the moBt minute' detail, insuring absolute safety from a legal standpoint. The amount of 4 bonds specified Is the same as that voted at the II legal election beld last April. The proposition to increase ' the amount of bonds was discouraged because of the uncertainty of public sentSjjant. Inasmuch as about 88 per cot of the voters previously fa IE FDREM0ST DRY.G00DS ESTABLISHMENT Of vored an issue of $35,000, It was deemed the wiser plan to let the amount remain at that figure. Accompanying the ordinance draft ed by Coshow and Rice, waB a letter advising the council to conduct all proceedings relative to the bond Issue at regular meetings only. Heeding this advice, which was given for the purpose of preventing legal questions from cropping out, the council did not give the ordinance second read ing by title only, as Ib customary in the process of. making these laws. This was deferred until the next reg ular meeting, which will be beld on Nov. 16. The final reading and pas sage of the ordinance will occur on Dee. 7. Thirty days must then elapse before there tan be held an election ratifying the bond issue. If the is sue Is endorsed by the voters the bonds can be Bold by the council at the earliest date possible thereafter. This should not require more tban ten days. . Figuring, then, that all proceedings will go through without hitch, Roseburg should be ready for the new improvement by Feb. 1, 1909, at the very latest. MORE Remonstrance Denied. The ordinance requiring sidewalks to be built to a width of 12 feet brought a remonstrance signed by 20 taxpayers, some of them among the wealthiest In the city. The remon strance evoked a sharp discussion, but It was turned down, and the pas sage of the ordinance -by a vote of 6 to 2 followed. The remonstrators asked for a reduction In the width of the walks from 12 to 10 feet, believ ing thereby "that the best interests of our city could be subserved." The narrownesB of the streets, It Is as serted, would not justify sidewalks 12 feet 'Wide. The signatures to the remonstrance were: A. CV Marsters, J. H. Booth, C. W. Parks, T. R. Sher idan, G. W. Sloper, Mrs. H. Eeaston, S. Hamilton, J. F. Darker, 1. Abra , ham, W. H. Fisher, A. D. Bradley. Louis Kohlhagen, N. Rice, Harvey Jones, R. Troxel, N. Fullerton, H. C. Althaus, R. B. Mathews, A. O. Rose and J. E. Johnson. Councflmen Mlcelll and Josephson attacked the remonstrance as a mls sle aimed at the destruction of the very foundation of all the Improve ment work planned for the city. They The FLORSHEIM SHOE All Leathers All Shapes $4 to $6 "For the Man Who Cares." weVe been treating people square pointed out that to change the sldo walk width at this, the eleventh hour, would necessitate the heavy ex pense eutalled In obtaining the pres ent plans. Mr. Mlcelll explained, be sides, that it would require less mon ey to build two feet of walk than a like amount of bltulithc pavement. "Twelve-foot walks,' he said, "would still give Roseburg streets wider than Washington street, the busiest thor oughfare In Portland. This council has been criticised right and lefl for months because of a lack of improve ment projects, and now, at the eleventh hour, comes a remonstrance against our sidewalk ordinance, which is the base of all the improve ments we have planned." .Mayor Hoover added his mite of argument. "For the past six months," he said, "everybody knew or should have known that the sidewalks were to be 12 feet in width. Why haven't the kicks been registered before this? The remonstrance contains the name of several heavy property owners, I know, but it's too late an hour now to protest." Al. Creason, one of the city's heavy taxpayers, who sat in the audience, took occasion to make the statement to the council that "the ordlnanco should stand as It Is; to make a ohange at this late day would he throwing money away." Councilman Cardwell championed the cause of the remonstrators condi tionally. He said that while be was not opposed to the ultimate passage of the ordinance, he thought that the remonstrance was too represent ative in the character of the signers I to be passed by without serious consideration... As a representative of the people, Mr. Cardwell did not consider it proper for him to take an arbitrary position in the matter, and he suggested that if the heavier tax payers wanted only ten-foot side walks their wish should be granted unless they could be Bhown satis factorily that 12-foot walks would be more to the advantngo of the city. B. W. Strong, councilman-elect 'from Ward No. 4. who had not yet taken his seat, arose from the spec tators and stated that one of the re moiiBtrators "who owns more prop erty on Jackson Btreet than any other (Contlnuea on page 4.)
