Under our charter the council has

gratitude of the people In La Grande
who have not "taken root."

In order to get under way, I would
suggest for the confederation of this
council, and more especially of the
street committee, that four or five
blocks on Adams avenue and two or
three on Depot street, in the central
buHlness district, be improved with blt
ulithic or other pavement. That all
of Adams avenue, outside of the paved
district. Fir street. Fourth street, Penn
sylvania avenue or such other streets
as might be considered as of most tine
to all the pitlens, be macadamized as
soon as possible.
Possibly it would not be Inequitable
that one-third or other fraction of the
coat of Improving streets as main high
ways through the city outside of the
central business district should bo
borne by the city as a whole. . I be
lieve that we should also make an ef
fort to have roads approaching the
city made passable, in order that our
citizens may be spared the humiliation
of seeing vehicles that have come from
towns on the other side of the Orande
Ronde valley, over good roads, mired
down In our principal streets.
A committee was appointed last year
to Interview such owners of property
on Adams avenue and Depot street as
do not dwell in more pleasant climes,
as to the advisability, of improving
these streets. After a cursory Invest
ligation some of this committee, a ma
jority, I believe, reported adversely,
giving as a sole and sufficient reason
that it was an Impossibility until a
sewer system was constructed. I have
no doubt that these members of that
committee thought that their whole
duty had been fulfilled.
.At the first objection raised, they
flunked. In order to accomplish their
full duty to all the p-ople of this city,
1 t-oneelve It to have been the duty of
that committee and the council as I
helleve it to he. the duty of the pres
ent council to meet that objection and
surmount it. by taking up the work of
building a sewer system if necessary
jand to kpf p on a(1lllnK fmprovement
f0 improvement on our streets until
La Grande's citizens when observing
conditions in other places where the
other "live ones" live, will not b
compelled to feel Hsh.nned of tlwfr
own town in comparison.
