.,.n imiimvii without fear of exorbitant tax increases. 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. Citizens can well keep the osiinlity in mind
