In this regard, the city administrators have proposed that these improvements should be undertaken on an assessment district basis. It has been sug gested that the sidewalk cost should not be borne solely by the property owners in front of whose property the improve ment is made, since, in the city's opinion, all residents of the area benefit to some ex tent by the improvement. As with the street assessment proposal, a set cost would be Merit Proposal To Be Reviewed ". Members of the Roseburg City Fire Department, speaking in a body through their newly formed union local, petitioned the Roseburg City Council Tues day night for a special hearing on the proposed merit system for city employes. The council agreed to hear the firemen and other city employes who might wish to voice an opinion on the pro posal and called for a spe cial meeting next Monday night - In a letter to the City Coun cil, the firemen said, "After i thorough study of the proposed merit system with the city man ager, and by our own local No. 1489 (International Association of Firefighters), it is very evi dent that this system is in equitable and undesirable." "Our objections to this sys tem are too numerous to list at this time," the firemen said in asking for the special meet ing. They also said the system has already been defeated in many cities such as Astoria Salem and Springfield. All 19 members of the fire department (excluding the fire chief) belong to the new union local, President R. D. Logan said Wednesday. Other officers of the local are Pat O'Brien, secretary, and Rex Jeffries, treasurer.
