D On the HEATED SESSION OF L IS HELD Council to Meet With County Court to Consider, Plans i South Umpqua Bridge. PAVINGPROJECTFOUGHT Petition for Paving of Kat First Ave nue North Itesults In Heated Arg uments Between Residents of That Street (nnpnmilse Reached. One of the most heated council ses sions to occur this year took place last night The council chambers were filled with persons interested on both sides ot certain propositions and there was one continuous argument until lale In the evening when an ad journment waa finally reached. The first matter to occupy the at tention of the council was the mat ter of the South I'mpniia bridge. S. W. Taylor appeared with a proposi tion in which he claimed S. I. Evans was a party. He stated that Mr. Evans had agreed that If the city would pay $5,000 for the park that the money would be applied towards the construction of a bridge, and that he (Taylor) would furnish the re mainder of the funds and complete the bridge retaining his rights to the concessions to provldo payment for himself. He produced a number of studied arguments In favor of his proposi tion, which, however, met little re sponse from the council. The coun cil held that if it put $.'.,000 In the construction of the bridge that Taylor would not be entitled to the conces sion rights and declined to take any action. .i Senator B. L. Eddy was present on another matter, but stated that he had met with thn county court re garding the bridge and that the coun ty court expressed a willingness and desire to settle the bridge matter and favored the Fullerton street site. Mr. Taylor took exceptions to Mr. Eddy's statements and a brisk argument de veloped for a few minutes. District Attorney Neuner, stated that to his knowledge the court Is anxious tol make a settlement of the affair. He stated that If the bridge Is built at the old site that it eventually means a road around the foot of Mt. Nebo to supply an outlet to the residents there and that it will be cheaoer to build the bridge "at the Fullerton street site and let It serve Instead of building an expensive road way to the Oak street bridge. After hearing the matter argued at some length, the council agreed to meet as a whole on Wednesday after noon at 1:30 and go in a body to the court house and meet with the county court and arrive at some definite proposition. Another hot argument occurred over the proposed nlleyway In Block 29, the block bounded by Jackson, Rose, Oak and Washington streets. Attorneys Eddy and Orcutt appeared for the persons objecting lo this al- leywav and claimed that it Is entirely' (Continued on Page Three.)

ROSEBURG MERCHANTS ALMOST PLUCKED AGAIN Evidently firm In the belief lhat Roseburg Is a mighty "green pasture" for fake advertising schemes another solicitor appeared here today and rep resented mniseir as the official spokesman and solicitor of the Suth erlln Sun. He told local merchants that The Sun was about to issue a special Roseburg edition and on the strength of a "good line of bunk" was able to secure some good-sized ad vertisements at $10 per space. Short ly after he had started his game here, one of the merchants who "bit" be came suspicious and telephoned lo Kaitor Hayner of the Rutherlln. Mr, Hayner Informed him that he had au thorized no one to solicit for any spe cial edition and that the "apecinllst" had called on hi in yesterday and ar ranged to Insert a small folder In bis naper the printing to bo done In Port land. !

D VOTERS TO DECIDE UPON CONDEMNATION OF PRESENT T AND Measure to Be Placed on Ballot UGH City Council to Proceed to Condemn Plant of the Douglas County Light and Water Co. ' The matter of the condemnation of the water and light system now furn ishing the city of Koseburg with pow er and water, will be placed before tne voters of Koseburg at tho election to be held In the city on Nov. 7. the cily council decided last night Tbe council will ask authority to condemn the electrical distribution system, of the present company and the plans are that the city will buy power from Calirornla-Oregon Power company at a very low rate that has always been offered and will maintain Us distri bution system. . At the present time tbe council haa Li All Class A Timber In Douglas County Reduced to Next Lowest Grade by Order. RATING WAS TOO HI6H (lost of Willing Lumber Ky Water Is . As High As Shipping lly Kail Ac , cording to figures Presented lly Timber Owners to Ikmrd . The reduction of all Class A tiro ber In 'Douglas county to the rating of Class II 1 timber, was the prlncl pul action of tbe county uoard ot equalization which has completed Its findings and filed its report today. This reduction makes a slight change In the rate of taiatlon on timber pro perty and gives a more just distri bution ot the tax, it Is said. Class A timber undor the former ratings waa that timber lying near Harbors or waterways where water transportation was available. Class II l timber which Is next in rsnk was timber accessible to rail transporta tion. These were the two highest classes of timber in the county and bore the highest ram of taxation. The assessor worked on the theory that water transportation of lumber waa cheaper and that aa a result tim ber accessible to market by way of the waterways should have a higher valuation. At the recent meeting of the Board of Equalization, however, timber own ers appeared and proved conclusively that there la practically no difference between shipping timber by water and shipping by rail. The rates In both cases are almost Identical. It was shown and actual shipping receipts and figures were Introduced to prove this contention. After making a thorough investigation the Hoard ot Kqualizatlon determined that these statements were correct and as a re sult the Class A timber tributary to the waterways was bearing an un just rale and was being given a hand icap over tbe timber lying along the railroads. After thoroughly Investigating It was decided lo do away with Class A timber altogether and rate all of the merchantable timber lying along the waterways snd railroads on an equal asls and give It all Ibe standing or Class II 1. Thn order was made af fecting all timber In thn county and not only that represented by remon strance before the Hoard of Kquali zatlon. Those pe'l'lnna denied by the board which held that In thnso esses the assessments made were justified: were filed by the followlug Companies or persons: Mrs. Mary Miller, Win chester Hay Lumber Co., Harry U (rubbe.

WATER SYSTEM at Coming Election Authorizing authority to Issue $500,000 In bonds for the purpose of constructing a light and water system for Roseburg. The plan when these bonds were au thorised was to build an electrlo plant at Whistlers Bend and pure has the local water plant by condemna tion. Materials, labor, etc., were so high that It was Impossible for the city to build for tbe amount specified and' so the matter waa dropped. Some time ago a special election waa held for the purpose of considering tbe con demnation ot the present plant but the election was lost by the eounoil, as the new measure would have fn-. crensed the amount ot Interest on (he bonds. ' , . Under the present plan It Is pro-' posed io ask lor the authorizing of the voters of the city to condemn the present plant. It Is believed that It can be bought tor about $300,000. It waa suggested last night that $100,- uoo be spent In making repairs and Improvements to the electrical and water distribution systems, making l he city s total expenditure about $400,000. The bonds would be Iss ued only ss needed and the full amount would not be sold unless found absolutely necessary. ' The proposed expenditure would give tbe city a first class system. It Is believed -and with the Improvements made first class service could be assured. , It was proposed at tbe meeting last night, that in the event (he authority to condemn should be granted, that (he city should contract wltb tbe California-Oregon company for the pur chase of electricity. This company baa offered tbe city a very low rate and the city could buy at this rate much cheaper than It could afford to maintain Its onn plant for generating; power. The city would then take charge of the distribution and Could fix Its own rales and any profit could be taken Into the cltys treasury to pay off the Indebtedness Incurred, t "By this system the city would get exactly what It paid for,' Mayor Hann uton elated last night In discussing, the matter with the council. "The plant would be condemned for Us ac tual value and not for lta Inflated va lue. The Public Service Commission placed the physical valuation of the plant at $325,000. That was two years ago. Since then there haa been practically no Improvements made and the deterioration will with out doubt bring the actual value to less thsn $300,000. Tbe city would go Into court sud a complete Invent ory would be made of the property add competent persons would pase upon tbe value ot the companies hold ings. In this way the city would pay the exact worth of tbe property tak en and no more. "To construct a plant to generate power would be a very expensive pro ceeding. We would then have to, en ter Into competition with the present plant and without question we would lose money. The only business pro position Is to eliminate the company now giving this service and take over the light and water systems. We ran buy power from the California Oregon company cheaper than we.can afford to build a new plant and ran then be assured of tbe best of service st ressonably low rates. After considering tbe matter thor oughly the council Instructed the city attoruey to draw up the necessary le gal papera to put (he Issue on tbe bal lot at the coming election and If the necessary authorization Is given the city will proceed at once (o condemn the present system. Road Projects To be Submitted District Attorney George Neiiner leaves tomorrow evening for Portland where he will appear before thn State Highway commission and the district forestor for the purpose of endeavor ing to secure state approval for the Re.vlport and Loon Lake road pro jects In order that federal aid may be secured In the future construction of these two Important roads The government Is not grsnllng aid for forest road projects until stale appro val haa been given but because of the Importance of these (wo projects, It Is believed (ha( (here will be little difficulty In obtaining the necessary aid. Atlornay Neuner will carry with him a large number of maps and data which will be of aid In placing the matter before the commission in a complete and thorough manner. ii " :' i a 5 - i: i
