then its members should be recalled.
They are unanimous in their opinion
that there should be real competition,
which does not exist under the pres
ent conditions.
"It is not believed that the voters
of the city intentionally tied the
hands of the council. It Is believed
that the vote for the fire truck was
an expression of the people that they
desire better and more adequate
fire protection, and that they did not
intend to specify any particular kind,
style or size of apparatus, but in
tended that such discretion be left In
the hands of the council. But this
amendment did not work In that way,
and consequently the council desires
to resubmit the proposition in such a
way thnt authority would be given to
purchase the fire apparatus deemed
best for the city.
"There has been considerabl criti
cism concerning this action, and, on
the other hand, many people have ex
pressed approval.
"At the last regular meeting Eus
Boll Wilson appeared before the coun
cil in reference to .the A. O. Long
company. The council stated thnt it
did not intend to convey the impres
sion that the A. G. Long company had
anything to do with the situation, but
Mr. Wilson persisted In his presen
tation of the fire truck matter. He
stated that he did not represent the
company, but that he was friendly
with them, and also stated that he
represented some of the taxpayers of
Itoseburg. The tax rolls have been
Investigated but we cannot find where
he Is a taxpayer, at least under the
name of Russell Wilson.
"The council believes that there is
no general dissatisfaction over the
delay, and if there was such dissatis
faction that there would be a big
delegation appear rather than one
man.
"I believe that the city council Is
composed of men who have the city's
interests at heart. They are willing
to Rive of their time without recom
pense to the city's work and I do not
believe that they intend to do any-
thing which Is not for tho city's ad
j vancemcnt. None of them have their
I hands behind their backs and are
I not working for any particular Inter-
ests. I believe that they can be safe
ly trusted to do what is right. It Is
only good business to secure the
greatest competition In a matter in-!
volvjng the expenditure of such a
large sum of money and after all pro
posals are in, and the most thorough
investigation Is concluded the council
can be expected to secure for the
city a fire engine which will as near
meet the needs of the city as the
funds will permit."
The election at which the bond
measure will be resubmitted will 'take
plare in connection with the pri
maries on May 16th.
Arrangements are maturing for
one or the most delightful member
ship dinner meetings that the Cham
ber of Commerce has ever fostered
for next Wednesday evening at the
South Methodist Church. The ar
rangement Committee has been able
to secure a 75c dinner that will be
the last word In taste and speed of
service. The Program Committee
iill have a numher of delightful
musical numbers to be given during
the program, and the Ticket Com
mittee from Umpqua Chiefs start
ed out at 10 o'clock this morning
with the firm determination to sell
at least 200 tickets for the event.
The Secretary of the Chamber of
Commerce "visited Myrtle Creek, Rld
rle and Canyonvllle yesterday after
noon In company with T. II. Ness,
and found the business men there
a unit In wishing to cooperate to
the fullest extent There will be at
least a half dozen business men
from each of these towns present
Wednesday evening. A telephone
message to Reedsport yesterday
brought a response that a number
of business men would attend the
dinner from thnt city and Gardiner.
With the towns north already prom
ised to cooperate it would not be a
stretch of imagination to state that
250 boosters will sit down to the
dinner Wednesday evening.
The dinner will start promptly at
6 o'clock and will be over by eight
o'clock so that the program will not
drag, and all attending will Btlll
have the evening for any other en
gagements they may have.
The Secretary will have tickets
for sale so that any who
have been missed by the committee
may call at the Chamber and secure
reservations there.
