R. MOORE .... v Editor CHAS. L. SPRINGER, Business Mgr. ENLARGE THE CITY. The Gazette-Times stands for a greater Corvallis, and at this time. It sees no reason why out lying districts enjoying more or less of the advantages of this organized municipality should not be brought into the city and made to pay a fair proportion of the taxes necessary for its main tenance. Extension of the city limits is certain to come sooner or later if not this year, then the next year or the following year or two. Since it is a er .tejity, why net ge$ at it at the right time. The difficulty with; Corvallis, all the way down the line, is that most necessary actions have been . delayed too long. As a result streets are in worse condition than roads out side the city; frame business structures have gone up within the past year or two, old shacks and bad walks have been patched up when they should have been condemned, proper straighten ing of the streets and property lines has been delayed so long that it is now an impossibility to get satisfactory lines; and so it goes throughout the whole business life of the city. There has been too much easy-going, shiftless, careless action all down the line. The outlying districts should be annexed to Corvallis for several reasons first, ; the city officials should now have the over-sight of these districts that are so certain to become a part of the city a little later. The city, not the county, should now pass upon plats with their many imperfections from a city stand point; the city should pass upon various things in the making of these suburbs, not after mis takes are made. Secondly, these outlying dis tricts are already credited as a part of the city, and the lack there of lights, water, sewerage, walks, etc. is held against Cor vallis. Third, the health of the city demands that these populous districts,, be given, the advantage of sewerage snd drainage. Physicians say the frequent out breaks, including the present diphtheria difficulty, are due to poor drainage and the old fash ioned toilet The people of those districts should not desire such conditions, ' and the main city should not want to run the risk. Fourth, the national census' is to be taken rather soon and Corvallis should make the best official showing possible. That census will 'not be taken again for ten years; Corvallis wants and needs the advantage of the population there is in these districts. As for the people in the out-; lying districts, they should de sire to come in for the very reasons the city proper desires them to come. They need' what the city can give them. It is en tirely " possible, though hardly probable, that they might have to pay a larger tax than they now pay, but would it not be better to pay out a little more tax and get something necessary to health, happiness and progress, rather than pay a slightly smaller amount and get nothing in par ticular? . The outlying districts need sewers, mountain water, lights and v police protection. They can not get either unless they come into ' the city, and those who now have the water,' to which they are not entitled, may lose it. These districts are certain to be brought into the city soon the action can not be staved off very long so why not vote "yes" next Saturday?
