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?
