Ordinance Aims
at Stucco Buildings
No more stucco buildings will be
allowed within the fire limits of the

council last night is passed. The or
dinance amends the present measure
and limits the buildings in the bust

missible to build stucco buildings
within the proposed fire limits and
several have been constructed. These
buildings are composed of a frame
work of wood, covered with metal
lath. -and are -plastered wTlh con
crete. They are not fireproof and con
stitute a fire menace, according to
ho Are department which Is respon

It is believed that the ordinance will
receive a favorable vote, and it so

Trouble appears to be brewing
over the auto camp grounds and a
rather heated meeting ot the city
council is expected at the next regu
lar session. The council Is endeav
oring to provide some means of
keeping the camp grounds clean ana
In order and had planned on giving
some person permission to sell light
lunches and supplies needed by
tourists in exchange for that per
son's services in keeping the grounds
clean and giving necessary Informa
tion to the tourists. Now some or
the business men ot the city claim
that such concession would greatly
Injure local trade and that the coun
cil should not grant concessions. The
council on the other hand holds that
the merchants refused to take care
of the grounds themselves and
forced the city to take over the task
and that consequently the merchants
have foreclosed themselves of any
interest and that the city Is prlvl-
eged to give a man such concessions
in order to reduce the expense of
upkeep.
The matter was brought before
the council again last night when
Jack Horner appeared and asked
thnt he be granted the privilege or
maintaining a stand on the camp
crounds. He agreed to erect a neat
building and to keep the grounds
clean and In order and to supply
such Information as might be of ser
vice to tourists and to assist in every
way in boosting Roseburg. He asked
In exchange that he be granted the
right to sell light lunches and to
handle such supplies bb tourists
need.
Following his statement the re
corder read a remonstrance signed
by about 60 business men asking
that no concessions be granted and
that the city refrain from allowing
any stands to be constructed on the
camp grounds.
Considerable discussion then de
veloped. It appears that the camp
grounds were originally maintained
by the Merchants' association. This
organization paid all expenses of the
camp grounds and were given some
assistance by the city in the way of
appropriations and lights and water.
The association, however, found the
expense too heavy and asked the city
to take over the camp grounds, the
council appropriating a large sum of
money for this purpose. At an elec
tion It was then voted that the city
should take over all control of the
grounds and last year this was done.
Some of the councllmen hold that
If the merchants did not desire to
maintain the camp grounds at their
own expense in order to make tho
profit derived from the tourist trade,
that they have no right to expect the
taxpayers of the city to malnaln all
of such an expense. The merchants,
however, contend that they pay taxes
here and operate throughout the
winter months, sometimes at a loss,
and that allowing a person to skim
tne cream or tne tourist traue cur
ing only a few months of the year,
would be unfntr and dtscrlmlnaliot
against Roseburg merchants. Thei
claim that they have permanent
business houses, that they are per
manently located citizens, while the
person in charge of the camp
grounds would be located here tor
only a fow months ot the year, would
abandon his place ot business imme
diately after the tourist season be
gan to slacken, and that no lasting
benefit or good to the community
would result from his trade.
With these two claims before it,
the council is plainly "up In the
air." The city has little money with
which to maintain the grounds and
if It is forced to koep a man there
and pay him a salary It will be a
great drain on the city's finances. If
on the other hand the merchants ara
willing to pay the expenses of such
a person, the council would un- .
doubtedly he glad to turn down any
request for concessions.
Just what action Is to be taken
will he determined upon at the next
meeting when both sides will bo
represented. It is expected that a
definite decision will be reached at
that lime, as the tourist travel will
begin to become heavy within n few
more weeks, and If a stand Is to be
constructed and filled up for tho ac
commodation of the tourist travel,
tho person to whom aurh concession
Is to be granted should be given per
mission at once so that he may start
his work.
