Is what the City of Rose burg proposes to pay toward the next batch of street paving, for which an ordinance initiating a $40,000 bond issue o pay such proposition was giver regr fli ,o t 'ret and second readings at the meeting of the city council " ight. Of the full board of uncilmen present for the A in many months past not ei'ed any explanation during jion for the one-third payment . After adjournment, bow se matter was freely discussed, jiese reasons were advanced: The heaviest taxpayers of the Saay they favor the one-third position; non-property owners, or ajorlty or them, will always vote any kind of Improvement, hence ssue Is sure to carry when put the voters. Figuring that $120,000 Is the nt to be expended, such a sum robably induce the W arren Con- on Company to make a con- under its price per square torn the present pavement, ""for the Warren Construction Coni was paid about $62,000. As a $40,000 Issue would ex haust the limit of bonded Indebted ness allowed by the charter, it is de sired to make it go as far as possible. To these reasons, Al. Creason, one of the city's largest property owners, added a fourth. He took the ground that people who own property out Ode .of the business district should '.lay more for their pavement because It was traveled a great deal less and would therefore last longer. Mr. Creason also offered the council this advice. "You want to specify before the election on the bond issue just what streets vou intend to nave. The ma jority In favor of the Issue will be bigger if you do. .My sentiment in this respect is the same as that of lots of other taxpayers with whom I have talked." No comment was made on this sug gestion. The ordinance does not designate any particular streets for COUNCIL WORK. j. V . pan. 3.

Thla phase of the project will come up later, when It Is ascer tained what property owners desire pavement at two-thirds of Its cost. Two petitions for bttulithic pave ment are already before the council One, presented two weeks ago. covers Stephens street, from Its June- tion with Cass to Its Junction with Hlakeley street, In the Waite Add! tlon, 3 and 3-4 blocks. The other, presented Monday night, covers the last four blocks on Douglas street, comprising what is familiarly re ferred to as the Deer Creek hill. Both of these petitions specify, however. that the city is to pay one-half of the cost. The ordinance declaring the bond issue will be given its -third and final reading and then placed on Its passage at ithe next regular meeting of the council. At that time there will also be fixed a date for a special election, at which the voters may ratify or reject the proposed issue. it is estimated that $120,000 will pave at least 3(i blocks. City lias Bonds for Rule. After the next regular meeting of the council the city will have for sale bonds to Uieotal amount of $12,518.58. Tins sum is tne aggre gate of street paving assessments which are to be paid for under the Bancroft Bonding Law. An ordin ance providing for the 'issue was glvon its first two readings Monday night. .here are to be b2 bonds or $200 each, a total of $12,400, and one bond of $118.38, making a grand total of $12,518.38. They will be doted February 1, of this year, and mature at the end of ten years, the same length or time tor wnicn tne corresponding paving assessment bonds on property will run. Inter est, fixed at 0 per cent and payable semi-annually. Is to be turned over to the buyers as It is received from property ownerB. The bonds will be sold by bids, to be advertised for In a local newspaper. According to ithe estimate or city Treasurer Hermann, about $20,000 has been paid in paving assessments by property owners who did not take advantage of the Bancroft law. Sewer Deficits. The annual report of Treasurer Hermann, to be presented to the council next week, will show a cash balance in the general fund of $98.02. A special report which he submitted Monday night showed that on five sewerB constructed by the city within the past few years there Is due an aggregate of $813.51 in excess of amounts available to meet rhe outstanding warrants. These deficits are as follows: Fulierton avenue sewer, $139.40; Brockway street sewer, $60.72; Douglas-Fowler street sower, $33.59; Mill-Pine street sewer and Oak-Rose street sewer, combined In one war rant, $579.80. To eover the first three named deficits, totalling $233. 71, the council authorized the draw fug of warrants on the general fund. As to the last named deficit, there is to be an investigation by the city improvement committee before any action toward a settlement Is taken by the council. The amounts to pay for the Mill Pine street sewer and Oak-Rose street sewers were combined In one warrant for $1000, drawn five years ago by H. L. Mnrsters, then city re corder, and a member of the firm of Bridges and Mnrsters, which laid the two sewers. The Mill-Pine street sewer was Improperly laid, though formally accepted by a council com mittee, and affected property owners sued to enjoin the collection of as sessments. In the confusion result ing from the litigation, which suited in a negative victory for the city, it appears that no record was kept of what part of the $717. 70 collected to defray the warrant was on assessments levied for the oak Rose street sewer alone. The orig inal warrant, drawing 6 per cent in terest and held by G. W. Kimball has grown to $1300. As It Is drawn on the general fund, as was the cus- j torn In the days of Its origin, there Is ! no way by which the city can escape Inavment of the deficit of $579.80 !The council hopes, however, that 'some part of this sum can be met by delinuuent assessments on tne oak : Rose street sewer. If any record of ! such delinquencies exist. I "Maybe when the books are ex ported we may get some light on this matter," remarked Mayor Haynes. Recorder Orcutt and Treasurer Her mann discouraged this Idea, they having searched the records thor oughly for some solution of the tangle. without result. I Expert Ordinance Passes. ' With a full council present, the supporters of the ordinance appro priating a maximum of $500 for ex pertlng the city's financial records, put the measure on- Its final passage, and it carrledy a vote of 9 to 3, Bound. Jones and Mullen voting In the negative. A committee will at once enter into a contract with Ben , W. Olcott, of Salem, to perform the work, assisted by someone to be ap- l nnintori hv the committee. The ex- , perting will cover the records of the : recorder and treasurer iui mc i eight years. I 4 Meeting a Month. In accordance with a resolution tid qo(u1 unnnlmnilRlv. the council Is to moot four times a month regularly. Instead of twice a month, as hereto fore. The meeting nights will con tinue to be on Mondays except when there are five of such days in one month, when there will be no mt h fifth Monday. This month has five Mondays, ao have May, August and October, of this year. By this 'new arrangement there will probably be no mo-e special meetings, for which It has been difficult to obtain quorums. As at present, bills against the city will be acted on only on the first Mondays of each month. To Build Central Sewer. The council appears determined to commence construction work during the coming spring on the proposed central sewer to be converted from the big natural drain, extending northwesterly through the city from upper Lane street to the river at the foot of Washington street. Instruc tions were given- the city attornev and the health committee to get all the right of way deeds they could for the laying of the sewer and to offer in consideration of such deeds the refunding to tho property own ers of one-4ialf of their respective assessments for the work. Property owners who have already laid sewer plpe In the drain are not to be as sessed anything. Where remonstrances against the proposed sewer may develop it Is the purpose of the council to insti tute condemnation proceedings, if necessary, to obtain right-of-way through private property. Time and again the urgency of such a sewer haa been pointed out, and the council feels that Its construction should no longer be delayed. A remonstrance against the sewer was presented some time ago by A. C. Marsters aud tlhe Roseburg National Bank, but thla was turned down by the council. City Surveyor Roberta was In structed to relocate the proposed Mill-Short sewer, the original sur vey for which was rejected because of the heavy expense entailed Ln es tablishing an outlet at the river. Street Light Mutters. The light committee .reported ad versely on the petition for the in stallment of an arc light at the cor ner of Stephens and Mosher streets, because there was already an arc light only one block away. The re port was accepted. , The same committee was in structed to request the Southern Pa cific Company to Install an adequate light at the Moslier street railroad crossing, it was also directed to look after the petition tor three in candescent lights in Kinney Addition, one at the Intersection of East 5th and 2nd Avenue South, another at the Intersection of East 6th street and 2nd Avenue South, and a third at the intersection of 6th street and Commercial Avenue. A Detltlon for a walk on Fifth Avenue North was referred to the City Improvement Committee. This committee was also Instructed to ad vertise for bids for the construction of a combined stnblo and shed In the rear of the city hall in which to house street cleaning apparatus and a team of horses. The estimated cost of the building Is about $500. An ordinance appropriating $1,100 for the purchase of fire fighting equipment for the suburbs was passed. Mayor Haynes announced tne ap pointment of Sykes, Josophson and Mlcelli as a standing committee on elections. Councilman Strong Inquired If the city could legally aid the destitute widow and child or tne late inos. -ouch bv giving her at least part of the $61 paid in dally license by her husband for conducting a lunch stand at the S. P. depot premises. City Attorney Neuner was instructed to render a legal opinion on uie question next Monday night. Special Hills Aiiowru.
