Council Rejects Bids for Six
Blocks of Paving
SIDEWALK ORDER DEFIED
People Willi Walks Laid According to
Survey ol Former Engineer
K fuse to Rebuild
Peenuse I lie item for grading was
considered exorbitant," the Clcrk
Henery Company's bids for the as
phalt paving of Ave blocks in the
Ohadwick Addition and one block on
Kast Cass street were rejected by the
city council Monday night. The
company's bid was 3 cents per square
foot of st rent surface. Assistant
Kngineer M. It. llerniond said that
on this basis t lie average cost of ex
cavating, grading and rolling the en
tire area involved in the bid would be
f l.!M per siinare yard tor the amount
of dirt removed.
Mr. Gerinond also reported that
there would be a 10 per cent grade
on Court street, if improved accord
ing to present plans. Councilman
Micelli declared it. would be sheer
folly to lay pavement on a grade so
heavy because horses could not as
cend It In wet weather.
It was explained that the smaller
the area to be paved, the higher the
cost of grading, because the surplus
dirt cannot be used in a wuy that
would divide the expense as a whole.
Methodists Think City Should Pay
for Xi'W Sidewalk.
The order of the council three
weeks ago, directing the Methodist
Hpisconnl church to build a new ce
ment walk on the Lane street side of
Its property was answered Monday
night with a petition signed by a
largp number of its members, asking
the city, as a matter of justice, to
' bw'w'l the walk at city expense. This
, wse is parallel to that of Frank B.
: Alley, which came to the council's
, attention a week ago. Like Mr. Al
' ley. the church laid a cement walk
to con form to a grade furnished by
the then city engineer. Oscar Ed
wards, hut the subsequent establish
ment of a lower grade by Engineer
Kelsey leaves the walk too high.
The petition of the church, pre
sented personally by C. K. Hoot, was
referred to the City Improvement

Committee, of which Councilman
Joseph Micelli is chairman. When
the Alley case was before the council,
Mr. Micelli took the stand that the
grade furnished by Edwards was
merely an advisory mniter between
himself and the property owner;
that such grade could not be legal
without its ratification by the council.
The council did not adopt Edwards'
survey, but it did adopt the survey
made later by Kelsey. This Is the
status of the matter with reference
to the church also.
It would seein that the matter has
resolved ftself into the question of a
city engineer's authority to legally
establish a permanent grade, without
specific ratification by the council.
Both sides of the question nils t8
supporters. Micelli, personally, has
previously declared himself in open
council ns in favor of resisting a
threatened Injunction suit by Alley,
rind It Is altogether probable that his
report on the church petition will be
of an adverse nature.
To the City Improvement Commit
tee was also referred two other mat
ters. One of these was a complaint
from Al Treason of interrupted
drainage near the rock quarry in
North Kosehurg. The other was a
complaint from John Hunter of
standing water in the street near his
residence.
Mr. Hunter also notified the coun
nil that he wished to resume to manu
facture of orchard spray on his prem-
:ses at the foot of Woodward street,
ind he asked whether he would again
be molested, adding significantly that
If his product was not labelled
"Rosebiu'R" It would bear the name
nf some other manufacturing point.
His Inquiry was referred to (he
health and police committee, of
vhich Dr. Geo. 13. Houck is chair
man. Other Mailer.
A petition for a street light at the
southwest corner of Lane and Par
rot t streets was referred to the light
committee. Councilman .1. W. Mullen
hah man. The committee previously
recommended the installation of in
candescent lights on Pitzer and North
Hose streets, but denied the petition
for a similar light at the corner of
South Jackson and Itroekway streets,
because that locality is soon to be
placed on the arc circuit.
W. C. Gaddis was awarded the
contract for laying a 0-inch sewer in
the alley of block Number 91. He
submitted the only bid $ I 89. or
$13 above the city engineer's esti
mate. I Councilman Mullen concluded the
session by making two motions that
, died in silence. One called for a new
edition of the citv charter. The
'other urged the establishment of a

district as a ready source of supply
for such material for use on the

Voters of Oregon will have tlie,
unique prlvlloKe of exprt'ssing their
priTenMice for President anil Vlre
l'resirtent. in 1 !U 2 lie fore the Nu
tlonal rnnveniions of the Hepnhlinui
mid Deiiiocrntle parties shall have
heen held. This is the only stale in
the Tuinn where the electorate will
instruct delenales to the National
conventions as to the men to support
for those important positions.
Furthermore, Oregon voters will
select their own Presidential electors
as well as vole for them, and also
will select the delegates to the Na
tional conventions, and the state
treasury will pay the expenses of the
delegation.
This is one of the results of (he
election held last week, when the
measure designed to extend the pri
mary law to Presidential campaigns
was adopted.
It is estiniirted that the expense
Incurred in 1 !l I 2 hv this tpnv measure
will approximate $sooo.
1'nder the provisions of the meas
ure, voters can vote for anyone they
think hest fitted for President and
Vice-President, in tneir party. Kach
voter can vote for someone for Presi
dent and Vice-President. In those
positions, and not. for two Presidents
or t wo Vice-Presidents. The voter
makes his own selection.
The measure also provides that
deh gates to the National conven
tions shall1 he selected through the
primary methods also. liy this ar
rangement the $;i-a-day man has a
prospect, ot helug sent, as u delegare
as well as the hanker or professional
man. who has an ax to grind in at
tending the convention. The ineasui
provides that the traveling expenses
of delegates shall he paid by the
sEtiite. not more than $200 being
paid to any delegate.
Kighl Measures in .-VII Carry.
Resides t he National Primary
measure, seven ol hers are now
known to have passed. These are:
An act authorizing the establish

A hill providing for the perma

the Oregon Normal School at Mon
mouth. The Heme Rule nnietulinent.
j An employers' liability law.

The Kiisieru Oregon insane asylum j
bill carries an np propria I ion of
f l'ihi.ihhi. which stun includes main-1
nance cost up to I eeemher :', 1 .
1912. Within (HI dav after the act
becomes a law, the Governor, Secre
tary of State and Sf ate Treasurer
i will select a Hit for the Institution
within five miles of Palter, 1'nion or
Pendleton.
The Moninouih Normal SHmnl bill
creates a separate fund for the sup

vid"d. l-'or put I ing in one v into t he
fund a tax of one twenty-fifth of one

able property in the state. This t:ix
will provide about $2".. win yearly.
Tle-re will prnhahlv be suUicl' iit

The full meaning and Intent of the
Itogae Kiver fishing hill is express d
in its title. It simply prohibits the
taldng of fish from the stream ex

MEANS A HEAVY REDUCTION
Hon to Secure Same Concessions
OMaioed by Other Towns
; In Tbis State
At Monday night's meetlne of the
Roseburg Commercial Club the nrln-
elpal topic or discussion was freight
rates tor rtosoourff. The discussion
was lively nt times ror this matter la
considered an Important one for this
ity and county. Among those who
addressed the club was Atty. Edw.
31. 1 opsins, or portlund, who has
made a special study or this subject.
It wus shown that under the present
rulings or the Interstate Commerce
Commission that Roseburg should
he entitled to terminal rateB from the
Kast, or even less, instead of having
to pay terminal rates to Portland
and a heavy local rate from there
here,
Tho fact was cited that before the
Southern Pacific Company obtained
control of the Pulon Pacillc and Ore
gon Short Lino railroads, Roseburg
was a point on the main line for
through shipments via Sacramento
from the Kast. After the Southern
Pacific Company gained that control
the "Ogden gateway was closed and
so far as freight shipments are
concerned the S. P. lines In Oregon
became merely branch lines out of
Portland. As tho Union Pacific,
Northern Pacillc, (ireat Northern and
Canadian Pacillc each make Portland
a terminal point, as well ns the
Southern Pacific, It Is argued that
Roseburg dealers should be able to
route their shipments from the ISttHt
via Sacramento nnd thus secure at
lenst as low a rnfe ns Is made to
Portland, with n still further reduc
tion for the 197 miles between here
aud Portland.
According to Mr. Cousins, Raker
City. . Pendleton and other points,
which formerly paid the through
