CAUEFt'LLY 1'I.AXXKD I'ROGKESS The ovenvhelniiiiff defeat of mimerous municipal improve ment projects by the voters of Portland in the June elec tion, some worthy and some not, has caused the Oregon Voter i.i nrirn tlin establishment of a bureau of Uesearcn lor tnal r.in(iv ,in,i riRar-'ta.

Dis cussing the subject, the Voter says, in part: "Shall we pursue the hit-or-miss method of copinjr 'with these problems? Or shall we take a survey of the whole situation from time to time, with a view of cuttiiii,' dowj some existing expeysc.j rtliat we".umay be ;"'unedv and T)f consemiifr our resources so we can meet the major expenditures without sending taxes up to where they impair property values? "There is danger that we will fritter away our sub stance in minor and unnecessary expenditures, so we will not have the tax resources available for our larger and more vital projects. A l'.uieau of Ileseaivh can save tens of thousands to the taxpayers who finance it, and save millions to the public. i "It would bring under review all new proposals in volving public expense and subject them to searching analysis. Instead of voting 'No' only when irritated and by so tloing carry worthy projects to defeat, and vot ing 'Yes' only when excited ant! adopting a lot of un worthy pioposals, the public would have before it such definite infouuation that discrimination would le Hssiblo." That's a plan as jipplicable to the small city its to Port land and would, we believe, find increasing favor with the taxpayer. In a community like I.a (irantle il would not be necessary, perhaps, to employ a paid bureau or commission. Interest in the city's welfare would be sufficient incentive for capable citizens to take part in a municipal survey with the occasional help of a paid impai 'could le planned five and ten years ahead ami finances regu lated accordingly. The saving to taxpayers that would re sult is obvious. I Not always can a city expect to have as efficient and as capable a commission as at pie-cut. None is perfect and all make mistakes, but the law of averages predicts less satis factory conditions than we now have. Improvements are going to be needed in the future as they have been needet in the past. The city will glow. I'eople who have basement. flooded after a haul rain are already convinced that I.i Crande must spend considorable moiiev within the next few I vears for an adequate sloim sewer system. And although the school district would probably not be affected by a munic-j ipal research bureau, it ii. becoming generally recognized that1 we will have to have, in the near I'm ure, another large schoo building. l nose m close tinu n u nn uie community s inisiness count i suggest numerous things umthy of consideration necessary i f consideration during the nest ten veins. Isn't it possibl to decide on those things with reasonable certainty, to plan for providing them gradually, In plan for paving for them without increasing the tax buiden? Other cities have found' it so.
