Maximum of 10 Mills on Tax
able. Property in City
$2,000 DEFICIT AT THAT
Only. Two Kicks Against Assessments
For Paving Fire Proteciion
Soon For Suburbs
The tax levy for the City of Rose
Inn g for 1910 is 10 mills, the same
as that levied for this year and the
limit allowed by the charter. Re
newal of the levy was made at the
regular meeting of the city council
Monday night. It will apply on a
total of $1,887,2."i5 worth of taxable
property. This is an increase, In
round numbers, of $104, 000 over the
assessed valuation of Koseburg's
taxable property last year.
Chairman Mlcelli, of the Ways and
Means committee, estimated that the
city would require about $22,000 to
meet the expenses of the municipal
administration during the coming
year. The tax levy, however, to
gether with license fees and prob
able police court lines, it is figured,
will not aggregate over $20,000, thus
an approximate deficit of $2,000 to
be faced at the beginning of 1911.
For this year also there will be a
deficit. It amounts to about $1000
and Is occasioned by the failure of
the residue from the street paving
bonds to cover all of the cost of the
new Deer Creek bridge.
Protests Turued Down.
Two remonstrances were received
against street paving assessments,
ordinances for which were given first
and second readings. Each was from
an individual property owner who
has no paving, but wus assessed
under that provision of the law re
quiring that pavement of a street in
tersection Bhall be paid for by the
owners of property in each quarter
block extending diagonally from the
four corners of such intersection.
The remonstrntors were Eipyd Mur
phy, assessed $49.75 for the Cass
Stephens street intersection, and
Mrs. Lucinda Cochron, assessed
$37.70 for the Douglas-Kane street
intersection. Both protesls were re
jected by a unanimous vote.
Recorder Orcutt reported no other
objections to assessments on any of
the paving. He stated that about 7.1
affected property owners had person
ally examined the assessment levies
In his office and that after the
method of fixing the assessments was
explained to them all were satisfied.

$120 a month for the proposed opal
escent globe system in the paved area
was formally submitted to the coun
cil, but final aotlon was postponed
until such time as a maintenance
guarantee is submitted in writing by
C. I). Cannon, who has agreed, so
Councilman Josephson reported, to
stand good for the expense of main
tenance, estimated at about $30 a
mumn. ine os iron posts, purchased
by local citizens to displace 8 arc
lights, will each be equipped with 6
20-candle power Tungsten globes.
Under the rate quoted by Kendall
Bros., only one of the globes In each
cluster is to burn all night. The re
maining four are to be turned oft by
the night policeman at midnight by
means of a special switch to be In
stalled in the light company's office.
The present arc lights to be dis
continued cost the city $60 a month,
or just one half of the rate sub
mitted for the new and more artistic
system. The council does not object
to paying $60 a month more than
they are paying now, but as to the
extra expense for renewals, repairs,
etc., that must be made every month,
there is unanimous sentiment that
this should be borne by the owners
of the posts. In his report to the
council, Josephson announced that
Mr. Cannon, one of the leading
spirits In the projected change, was
circulating a subscription pledge to
defray 'maintenance items, and that
he had guaranteed his personal res
ponsibility for the cost in the mean
time. It was voted, however, to re
quest Mr. Cannon to submit his guar
antee In writing, and until this is
done no further action in the matter
will be taken by the council.
Extend Eire Protection.
Upon the recommendation of the
Fire Commission, the committee on
Fire and Water was Instructed to se
cure and then submit to the council
bids for the sale to the city of 4
hew fire hydrants, 3 hose carts and
2000 feet of hose, together with four
nozzles and other accessories. This
recommendation is born of necessity
for immediate Are protection in the
outlying portions of the city, and es
pecially for the high., school' and
Mercy Hospital, near which Institu
tions two of the hydrants are to he
placed. A third hydrant Is to be
Installed in North Roseburg, at First
Avenue North and West First street.
The fourth hydrant, like one of the
first two, will be emplaced in the
Walte Addition. Of the hose to be
bought, 500 feet is to be 2 Inches
In diameter and 1,500 feet a half
inch less.
The installment of lire lighting ap
paratus in the suburbs will prove of
Incalculable benefit to those local
ities In time of need. As may be In
ferred from the size of the hose to
be bought, the carts will be smaller
than those no in use for this pur
pose. This is necessarily so, because
during the rainy Beasons when the
streets are sodden It would require
considerable effort to get a heavy
art to the scene of a tire. Then,
too, a small cart can be drawn over
the sidewalks conveniently. Above
all, the new arrangement will save
much time in getting to a Are. With

Roseburg at Harth's Toggery
after the sounding of an alarm,
whereas now It requires the tedious
operation of bringing a hose cart
from the central part of the city.
Councilman Mcdallen reported
that with the emplacement of the
four new hydrants there will be 50
in all in use m the city. This Is the
limit under the franchise for which
Kendall Bros, are obliged to furniBh
water. McClallen Bald that while
more additional hydrants were doubt
less needed, the limit would not be
exceeded until an excess rate Is
agreed upon between Kendall Bros,
and the city council.
Another report made by McClallen
during the evening related to criti
cism directed against the street
cleaning committee for alleged negli
gence In duty. He explained that
the sprinkler and sweeper had been
forced Into Idleness by the blocking
of streets with building material.
I.uncli Wagon Protested.
Appearing on behalf of the South
ern Pacific Company, Attorney Dex-
teT Kice registered a remonstrance
against the proposed ordinance per
mitting tne operation or a lunch
wagon under city license. This was
aimed at the wagon conducted by
ThoB. Lough at the Southern Pacific
depot. Mr. Rice argued that If one
wagon was given a license It would
only be a short time afterwards when
at least a dozen of them would line
the depot premises. These wagons
were not necessary, he said, for the
convenience of passengers, becauBe
the trains stopped long enough at
eating stations to allow the patron
age of restaurauts on part of those
who do not eat in the dining car.
Mr. Lough, who was at the coun
cil meeting, asked that action on the
ordinance he postponed until the next
regular meeting, when he would
have a lawyer to present his side of
the matter. This request was
granted. It Is practically a foregone
conclusion that the ordinance will be
killed. A strong remonstrance against
the lunch wagon was presented by
business men at the first meeting of
this month.
To Protect Pavement.
City Attorney Netiner was instruct
ed to draft an ordinance looking to
ward the protection of the street
pavement, which Josephson stated
was being mutilated in several wayB.
One of these Is the careless mixing of
cement, allowing particles to adhere
to the pavement, which Is eaten away
by the lime In the cement. Another
Is the grinding Into tho pavement of
particles of gravel either from huge
piles of such 'material dumped into
the street or dropped from overloaded
or Improperly boxed wagons. Other
causes are the dragging of timbers
over the pavement or the driving of
ribbed-wheel traction engines over It.
lit connection with this item of
business, the council instructed Re
corder Orcutt to return to the Wnr-
ren Construction Company the certi
fied check which accompanied its bid
for keeping the pavement in repair
for a stated number of years. This
bid was submitted with the one for
paving the streets. The council con
siders If the pavemont is any good at
all it will last for many years with
out need of repair.
Minor Matters.
Upon recommendation of the light
committee, two street lights were or
dered installed on Hnrvard Street,
West Roseburg; a third near Mercy
Hospital, and a fourth at the railroad
crossing on Douglns street, and a fifth
at the intersection of Chadwick and
Washington streets. These additions
increase the monthly lighting bill of
the city to the extent of $7.60.
Frank E. Alley was granted per
mission to lay an 8-foot, plank road
way on Stephens street, between
Woodward and Mosher streets.
W. C. Gaddls complained of neglec
ted drainage at Jackson and Doug
las streets which has created a nuis
ance. Referred to health and police
committee.
Rule was established that claims
against the city must be presented to
the Recorder by 12 o'clock noon of
the Saturday immediately preceding
the first Monday of each month.
Ordinance appropriating $2,108.12
for completing payment for the new
Deer f'reek bridge given first and
second readings.
Recorder Orcutt authorized to pur
chase necessary supplies for keeping
a record of the proceedings under
the Bancroft Bonding Law, through
which a number of street paving as
sessments are to be paid.
Josephson reported that two bids
had been received for expertlng the
city's financial records and that they
were "rather high." A third bid was
expected, he said, and the committee
was given further time In which to
make a final report.

That the Circuit and County 1
Courtn of this district convene here,
and the city has public water, elec

plants and the usual up-to-date mod
ern city conveniences.
That here Is also the U. . Land

in reference to such land sales aris
ing In many counties, covering a dis
trict embracing mllllona of acres.
That the U. S. Post Office In this
city conducts the business for four
distributing Star mall routes, which
converge here, and for the city free
delivery service, for one rural free
delivery mall service route and for
the receipt and delivery of malls
10 round trips a day and night In

postal receipts are now annually
$14,000.00.
That there Is also established here

For River Survey.
To tho Honorable, the Sennto and
House of Representatives of the
United States, Washington. D. C.
Your memorialists of the Commer
cial Club of the City of Roseburg,
in tho Stato of Oregon, respectfully
represent.
That this city Is the leading and
one of the oldest towus of Southern
Oregon and the seat of the Circuit
and County Courts, tho U. S. Laud
Office, Post Office, U. 8. Forestry Sup
ervisor, U. 8. Weather Bureau Obser
vatory, and the metropolis of the
entire Umpqua Valley, which 1b 100
miles north and Bouth, and in extent ,
codtains 5000 square mites of terri
tory and exceeding the area of the 1
State of Connecticut.
That the valuation of assessable
property, officially ascertained, Is now
J27.275.740.
That this region is watered by the
Umpqua River, the second largest In
the state. It enters the Pacific ocean
north of Coos Bay, has a safe en
trace, Is navigable by ocean going
ships to the town of Gardiner and
by a dally line of steamers as far as
Scottsburg, 26 miles Inland on the
tidal currents, from tho ocean.
That our city of Roseburg Is on
this river, still further Inland, from
Scottsburg 54 miles by land route.
That all this Intervening river dis
tance from Scottsburg was partially
Improved by the General Govern
ment about 35 years ago, by author
ity of Congress, for which $22,500
was then appropriated, and the en
gineers reported "that not a single
troublesome rock wns left uu re
moved," Thnt the "Swan," a stem-wheel
passenger and freight steamer. 100
feet long, ascended the river from
the Gardiner seaport at that time and
safely returned with a cargo of ag
ricultural products.
jftter attempts, however, demon
strated that the strong currents and
rnplds at various points render navi
gation tinprotltabte, and next to Im
possible, without further Improve
ment by lockB and dnms at tho points
mentioned.
Since then this county has greatly
increased In population and develop
ment In the face or river obstacles,
and a large commerce now exists,
mainly tributary to Hoscburg, which
makes an important river navigation
to the ocean shipping of supreme im
port anco. . .
That on tho lower river nro farms,
dairy and lumbering establishments,
and a regular shipping Is employed.
That between Scottsburg and Rose
burg the valley Is one continuous ag
ricultural, pastoral, and fruit grow
ing, and timber region, with a series
of cultivated farms tho entire wny,
and with several Intermediate small
towns.
Coal deposits hnve been developed
at several places along tho river, but
they have no feasible transportation
outlet.
Thnt along this entire distance to
Scottsburg the more rapid develop
ment of the country is retarded by
the lack of water transportation.
Railway communication Is remote,
and by reason of intervening moun
tain ranges, bad roads and long dis
tances, freight traffic therewith is
practically impossible.
With the river navigation Im
proved by locks and dams. Increased
population will follow, and an im
mediate Impetus will be given to ag
riculture, lumbering, manufacturing
and coal mining. Farm, fruit, dairy
and other shipments will go cheaply
to Scottsburg and to the seaport
town of Gardiner and from thence by
sea to the markets of the world.
Wherefore your memorialists peti
tion your honorable bodies for an ex
amination and survey, with a view
to lock and dam construction In this
river from Scottsburg to Roseburg.'

Other Mutters.
Mr. Hawley also explained the
Income tax emendment to the U. S.
constitution and expressed himself
as strongly favoring a corporation
tax, ob it would squeeze the surplus
"water" out of tho big organizations.
He also said tho payne-Aldrlch tariff
bill was a good measure, making
substantial tnrlff reductions. Ho Is
glad to see Oregon property being
sold at Its real value. It has been
too low, and cheap land means poor
farming.
Francis 11. Clarke, representing
tho Coos Bay. Oregon & Idaho Rail

road will bo built within the next
two years.

The officials believe that by using
