Tlio new management during that period of time has carried out an excep tional ly fine program of Improve ment and expansion that has been of neneral aatibfactlon to the many patrons in this city. Under the management of M. II. Brown, the local representative, the company has extended its lat erals, has replaced many of the did mains and equipment, and has installed additional machinery for the manufacture of gas, ho that the patrons are being given far better service than at any time since the plant was Installed. . As a result of this great improve ment in service the business lias grown remarkably and the local plant Is now enjoying a very fine patronage, which promises even greater expansion during t.ie com ing year of service. The program of development has been adopted to keep ahead of the needs of the city, and In many respect the con duction work has anticipated the cily'a requirements for several years to corno. . .In addition to the service ren dered to commercial. Industrial and residential patrons, the com pany has maintained a department of accessories and appliances In which the bent Items lor usu in connection with gas cooking and beating have been retailed at the lowe.il posnlhle coats. degrees at Manchester, New Hampshire, and a 10 degree drop at Burlington, Vt.

DOUGLAS COUNTY GETS STATE MONEY FOR FAIR f AwliM ITom l-.AK'd Win) SALEM, Ore., Juno l.-A total rum of $rl,l lli.lil In county fair funds has been apportioned among tho enmities of the state by the seerelury of state, It was announced todny. This Is n levy of one-twentieth mill on a total taxable propertv valuntion 111 the stale of 11,122,332,- I.Hii.Ki with 3(1-11.01 adillllona due to the legal provision that Mllllnouiah county shall not receive over $11!, ti00 from tho levy. The Multnomah county excess or Clou. 41) for each comity Is required hy law lo be used for road purposes. Among (he atiporllonnieiits is HI. 711. I I for Douglas enmity. :here will be Utile use for a roller on the field. To have the funds lo complete the project as original ly proposed will necessitate the Touting of a new bond Issue. In my mind the method to be adopted at the airport should lie to let the woik by conlract to the lowest re sponsible bidder. "I cannot see where the city of ltoseburg lias any business at tempting to build loads or the city council to buy a road roller when there are three or four rollers In Ihe vicinity that can be rented for $2.f.O per day, or a man furnished to run the roller for 110 per day, all upkeep, repairs, etc., to be paid by the owner. What Utile street rolling that will be required in this connection with repair work makes it seem frivolous expendi ture to spend such a largo amount for a new roller. Methods Criticized "Another point 1 wish to make is that It has been the policy or procedure Tor the city to allow tho streets and sidewalks to be toin up without requiring- the! parties wno were responsible to replace them In as good shape as they found them and with mater ials of the same kind. Neither have they been required to keep them In condition as long as the adjacent street stays In good re pair, ,and thereby additional work and expense has been placed upon the city. In replacing sidewalks the secliona should exlend to the Joints, and not give the walk the appearance of patch work, leaving It in an unpresentable condition. "I have not familiarized myself as to the provisions of the city charier regarding the repairing ot large sections of the city's streets, but il appears to me that outside of taking care of pot holes and or dinary repair work the expense or replacing streets should be up to the adjacent properly owners. If (ho streets are lo be rebuilt. II should lie done in the same manner as new work. "When It comes to streets of heavy traffic they should be kept In Rood repair, but In the remote and. residential districts, I don't see the necessity to b particular If not In a dangerous condition. New Committee Named "I want to appoint a committee to mnko a thorough Investigation or this mnlter and will name John Hunter, James Schaeffer, L. W. Ungles, Al Treason, J. L. Cham bers. A. C.
