PRIVATE SEWERS A QUESTION
Council Uuys Xew Hose, Orders Now
Sidewnlk.s, Considers Higher
V,Kst mid Also Allows
Jitney Licenses.
Sewer troubles, giving rise to ques
tions of ownership and the justifica
tion of assessments, brought remon
strances before the city council hist
night and threatened the city with a
suit that may interfere with the com
pletion of the Terrace Park project.
E. H. Rosenberry, who owns one
unimproved lot in the section served
by the system recently started, pre
cipitated the chill of a prospective
court action when he addressed the
councilmen to the effect that his as-
sessment amounting to $57 was'
grossly unfair. With the sewer de
sired by other property owners who
were taxed very little, while not
desired by himself, who was given a
much larger assessment than he hud
expected, he believed he was entitled
to know the reasons for such an ap
portionment. He said at the time the
petitions were being circulated he
was assured his assessment would
not be over $7. Since he has now
been charged $57, when he is not in
terested in the development of the
project, ho felt that trickery had
been employed to secure the con
struction. Mr. Rosenberry said he
was in the habit of paying his legiti- i
mate bills promptly, but in this case !
he considered he was warranted in
taking the action into court. Ho
mentioned hs one of the chief
reason for his complaint that one of ,
the property owners who was a pro- :
moter for the sewer was assessed on
ly nominally.
Engineer Hicks, who had charge '
of the construction and was familiar ;
with the plan of assessment, stated j
in justification of the city's position I
that Mr. Rosenberry had at one time ,
been told he would be charged only
a few dollars. This was on a basis '
of building the sewer on a different 1
plan, however, said Mr. Hicks, and ;
when a more comprehensive system '
was devised, the plan of assessments ;
had been changed. - J
Councilman Creason, yhead of the .
health and police department, then j
outlined the plan that was put into j
execution and declared the council j
committee in taking into consider;!-
tion all phases of the matter had
piven no preference to one party over
another. Ho said the reason G. V. '
Wimberly had not been assessed was
because he was already connected
with a private sewer and the new ,
sewer -which ran through hiff prop- '
erty was consequently no advantage J
to him except as to caring for the
surface water. He said, however,
that in consideration of the latter ,
convenience, Mr. Wimberly had as- ;
passed himself $15, which the com-j
rnittee had accepted. Councilmen .
Nichols and Powell took the wine
view. Motion was then made that (
the matter be left until the next '
meeting, which is the regularly ap- i
pointed time for hearing the re
monstrances. Mayor Rice asked the j
council to familiarize themselves
with the question and be prepared to
take a position to meet the remon-
strances at the next meeting.
Kcsit'i' Hell Makes Complaint. I
Lester Hell, who resides near '
South Main street, where drainage
water from the hill to the east of
that thoroughfare is carried by the
pavement onto his property, present- ;
cd another emphatic remonstrance,
when he said he had exhausted his
patience and would defy the city to
Mop a sewer opening which he
would make to take the, surplus
water. Mr. Hell said the trouble was ;
caused by a sewer under the street J
which was too small to take all the ,
Hood water from the hill. Council
man Creason said this was n case j
proving 'that it was economy in the ,
long run to provide large enough :
sewers and a worthy refutation to j
the argument of Mr. Rosenberry that ,
-no large a sewer as had been in-)
stalled was not needed. Mr. Creason j
said he had investigated the sewer '
mentioned by Mr. Hell but had not
conferred with his committee. He f
was of the opinion the city would j
have to enlarge the sewer at the -street
and leave it to the property
owners to arrange for any overflow.
He said he had followed this course
in similar instances in North Rose
burg. The matter was left for fur
ther investigation by the entire com
mittee. Consider Private Sewers.
The question of the ownership of
private sewers was raised for the
first time, when Councilman Creason
presented a bill for the repairing of
a private sewer owned by Carl Oil
man on South Stephens street. Sev
eral councilmen held the opinion that
if private parties owned the newer
after It was built. It could not be
considered property of the city
thereafter. This brought forth a
claim from Mayor Rice, who stated
that he had aided wftveral residents
of East Oak street to construct a pri
vate sewer and that they had always
considered its repair was to be done
by them. If the sewer was to be con
sidered open to connection by other
parties and as property of the city for
the reason it was situated partly in
the city .treetn, he said be certainly

The Pneumonia Season,
The cold, dump weather of March
seems to be the most favorable for
the pneumonia germ. Now Is the
time to be careful. Pneumonia of
ten results from a cold. The quicker
the cold-is gotten rid of the less the
danger. As soon as the first indi
cation of a cold appears take Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy, As to the
value of this preparation, ask any
oue who has used it. c
had a claim against the city for
many expenses. The matter was left
to be settled later.
Sew SiriewnlKs Ordered.
The time having expired on certain
sidewalk notices, which had been
sent out to request construction, it
was ordered that new notices be
served at once by the city marshal.
It was said that the weather condi
tions are now favorable and as the
present walks are in a bad state,
compulsory measures should be un
dertaken. The property owners af
fected are E. E. I-nBrie and A. L.
Kitchin, on South Main street, and a
number living on Parrott street. A
crosswalk situated at Military street
and Corey avenue, in West Rose
burg, was referred to the street com
mittee to take action at once.
May Repeal Ordinance.
City Attorney Wimberly reported
on correspondence between his office
and that of the state sealer oi
weights and measures. Ho said the
state official had written asking if a
certain ordinance which conflicted
with the state law in the inspection
and regulation of weights and meas
ures in the city was being enforced.
If the city should continue to enforce
its own laws on the subject, said Mr.
Wimberly, the state laws would have
no effect and the city would be with
out the protection afforded by the
state sealer. Except in the prosecu
tions for selling short measure wood
he said, there had never been an at
tempt to enforce it. Discussion arose
as to the desirability of having thr
city or state undertake the matter
and it was finally left to the city at
torney to investigate. He will reporl
at the next meeting.
New Hose Ordered.
Councilman McClintock, of the fire
commission, presented a report upon
the proposed purchase of new fire
hose, and submitted a unmber of
samples, with the recommendation
of the commission that 1000 feet be
purchased from the American Manu
facturing Co., of San Francisco. Thif
hose had a guarantee of four years
and of 400 pounds pressure. Mr.
McClintock also explained that 1000
feet were needed in order to supply
two cars which are to be stationed
near the Dysinger mill and near the
prune packing plants. Several coun
cilmen were of the opinion the
amount should be cut to 500 feet but
on motion to accept the report all
voted for the larger purchase.
Ask Higher Wages.
M. S. Thomas, a member of the
street cleaning force, appeared be
fore the council as the representa
tive of the three sweepers and asked
for a small increase in salaries. He
said that the men had worked about
as long as they could under the old
wages, and that in view of the high
cost of living could do so no longer.
The matter was promptly referred to
the street committee for report a)
the next meeting.
Jitney Licenses Allowed.
The council in passing on applica
tions for jitney licenses, allowed the
request of C. A. Friend, with Lee
Goodman as surety, and Ed Davis
with Harry Pearce as surety, and
Gordon Gage with O. W. Gage a?
surety. An application or Earl Good
man, with George Foutch as surety,
was referred to the judiciary com
mittee.
Will Present Hill.
It was decided that the cost of in
stalling a hydrant on South Main
street, near Mosber, which had been
broken by a runaway automobile.
should be borne by the owner of the
car. The cost was said to be I24.H3,
and this was ordered to be presented
to W. E. Ott. whose car caused the
damage several months ago.
Order was also made to reject the
bids for the sale or the new Spring
street city improvement bonds and
the city recorder was instructed to
readvertise. The advert isetiiuent will
run for five days.
The reports of the city marshal,
street superintendent and electrical
inspector were adopted and the regu

HAS A REMARKABLE VOICE
Mr. tioddnrd Has Appeared tn All of
the Lead I Cities of the 1'. S.
and Has Iteceived the Most
Favorable Mention.
The announcement, that James
Goddard, leading basso of the Chi
cago Grand Opera Company, is to
appear In this city Is a leading at
traction of the Cliautauu.ua Course,
which has been arranged by the Kl-lison-White
System, ought to bo re
plete with interest to all lovers of
good music, as well as to those who
are Interested In making the Chau
tauqua season a success.
A pronounced difference in the
standard demanded of musical at
tractions at the present time, is due
in a large measure to the various
ta Iking m nch i nes, w h ich reprod uce
with such fidelity the voices, and se
lections of the great artists; so that
every town, even If they cannot hear
the artists themselves, at least have
access to such pleasures, in conse
quence of which the best Ih de
manded. Of this fact the Kllison
White people aro fully aware, and
they are among the first to offer the
public, the greatest and best (Tilent
obtainable Mr. Goddard being the
case in point.
Horn on a farm in the South, the
future grand opera star went west
it the age of eighteen, where he re
mained for some time. Urged by all
w ho h ea rd him sing, to take up
music as a profession. Mr. Goddard
iftnr much thought went to Chi
cago, and began to study with Wil
liam Clare Hall, one of the best
teachers in that city, who proceeded
o perfect the natural beauty of a
remarkable voice.
At the end of two years Mr. Mall
.ook M r. Goddard to Paris and
placed him under .lean De Iteszke
(the greatest of his lime) whore af
;er two years of practical work Mr.
iioddard made his debut at Convent
Garden. London. in November,
1911, and was immediate acclaimed
one of the world's greatest slhgors
jy t he London press.
Mr. Goddard sang in London for
three seasons, the lastyear alter
nating as leading baso of (he
Montreal Grand Opera Company,
and then accepted-a six years' con-ra-t
with the Imperial Opera Com
pany of Vienna. At the end of the
first season there, war was declared
and Mr. Goddard immediately re
urned to this country where" he war
it once engaged by Campaniui, gen
ual director of the Chicago Grand
Opera Company for leading bass
roles. lie has just completed the
second season with t his organiza
tion and been re-engaged for a per
iod of three years more, an honoi
only shared by M me. A maiila Gal 11
Curci, t he reigning coloratura Ren
sal ion of a decade, whose wonder
ful voice has captivated the public,
this In Itself being an evidence of
the high esteem in which he is held
by the general d rector.
Mr. Goddard, however, has not
confined his success to operatic
fields, but has won equal renown in
concert, bis remarkable voice, at
once mellow and powerful as well
us hiH interpretative powers mark
ing him as an artist, of high order.
He will be assisted by Miss Ruth
Kay, fiollniste, and liobert Yale
Smith, pianist and aetompanist.
Miss Kay is a daughter of Alder

idea; and that sale is not going to stop until it is
accomplished. Already the effect of the terrific
cutting is being felt in some lines which have been
wiped out completely. But, like an organized army, reserves are
being brought to the front to take their places. You can't come
