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

Councflmen Mlcelll and Josephson
attacked the remonstrance as a mls

ment work planned for the city. They

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

taken his seat, arose from the spec
