I I WALKS ARE NEEDED Must k Built if Mail Delivery Systeni is Fxteadcd S COUNCIL WANTS PETITION C.tctDl Sidewalks .ol tutare to J un Willi PdTing Plans to Kojble Easy Payment . Discussion of the need of side walks, preparatory to applying to the Government for an extension of the ' free mall delivery system, occupied much of the time of the city council session Monday night. No action looking toward the building of tlK' walks was taken, but from the sen timents expressed by most of the councilmeu It was evident that the amount of such work in the lutuiv will depend largely upon the initia tive of the property owners. North Hoseburg was the particu lar locality around which the discus sion centered. Councilman Clark, of that ward, said that a mail carrier for that part of the city had been practically assured conditional upon the construction of mure ;Ule".v;tlk He could give no guarantee, how ever, that the walks would be buii: where needed. Councilman Zurche of the Btreet committee, ptated tluit It was up to the property owners to get together and decide where the walks were needed, then petition the council for the grades. I'ntil thL was done, he said, the committee would be unable to act intelligently. Councilman Strong, chairman ot the committee, referred to the power of the council to order the Bid.--walks built whether the proper. owners wished them or not: "When it comes to forcing matters," he said. "I am In favor of maxing every prop erty owner, no matter who he is. put down a sidewalk If his place it without one. This plan, however, would work a financial hardship on poor people, and for that reason I prefer that the property owners take the initiative. One thing settled on nv the committee is that crosswalk will no longer be built by the city until the abuttiug property owners first build their own sidewalks. Councilman Wright stated that h was working on a plan to have side walks laid where needed ou the property lines in nil of the additious of the city, expecting by the accom plishment thereof to secure at leant two additional mail carriers and one "pick-up man. Mayor Micelll nmda the suggestion that hereafter all street paving plans Include cement sidewalks, so that property owners; could lay the walks at once nnd pi) ; for them, if they desired, under tl:-.- Bancroft bonding law. along wl'h their paving assessments. This, tae Mayor explained, would enable poor people to Install their walks concur rently with the laying of the pave- ment, instead of waiting, as many are now doing, until they acquire enough ensh to pay for the improve.

('reason, the largest property j holder In North Koaeburg, suggested , to the council that tne street com- mittee and he act In conjunction In selecting the places in North Hose-' burg w here the construction of side-1 walks should be requested. This suggestion was received favorably by the council and it will probably b curried out this week. North ItoMchurK Affairs, Mr. ('reason earlier in the evening spoke in regard to remonstrances against assessments for the North Hosehurg sewer systeni that wer based on the fact that connections would have to be made through his property. Mr. C reason stated to the council that any person desiring to connect, with the main sewer by lay ing pipe through his property wes privileged to do so without cost for the right of way. Treason's petition for the vacation of the alley In Block No. 19, Kinney's Addition, was granted conditional upon the necessary ordinance belli,; drafted at the expense of the Rose burg School District, which has bought the block of C reason for the projected new grade school. Petitions for the paving of Com mercial avenue and North Jackson streets. North Hoseburg, as previous ly described In The Review, were presented to the council and turned over to the street committee. Another North Roseburg matter that was brought before the council related to fire protection. Council man Mullen, renewing previous re quests, asked for another hose cart aud .MM) feet of additional hose for that locality. "I have begged, prayed and cursed for this equip ment," said Mullen, "and now I ask it In the name of the Almighty God." Mullen's apeal was not taken seri ously. It was argued that th present cart and hose in his ward would be sufficient to protect the en tire locality if there were sidewalks on which the cart could be drawn. It was admitted, however, that more water mains -"and hydrantB were needed. Oilier Business, An ordinance was passed providing for the sale of $28,677 worth of Bancroft bonds to meet unpaid sewer assessments. C. H. M. Gronvold's application for a near-beer license was, upon motion referred to the license committee Chairman Krohn voting "no.' An ordinance vwas introduced ap propriating $400 for the purchase of a team of horses from Mark Alexan der for the street cleaning depart' ment. A bill of $91.10 from the Oregon Restaurant for meals furnished to j city prisoners from March 1 to Dec. 1911, was referred to the audit ing committee.

President Taft has settled the questlun of the conBtitu tlonal right of Congress to appropri' ate Government funds for the build lug of Interstate highways.
