On Monday evoning tho cily council authorized the committee having the j city charter in hand, permission to amend the hsue of $50,000 of walor bonds, to divide the cily into three wards, granting the major power to a) point standing committees and other minor changi s The proposition to extend the bound aries of the city was discussed and voted down. The tid vocal es of the measure believed the mills in West Oregon City received benefits from the city anil should be willing to share in the burden of taxation. Those opposed to the measure believed the expense of grant ing the new territory the protection and improvements they would be entitled to would entail a larger expenditure than the revenue to be derived therefrom The factories had been promised exemp turn from city taxes and should be allowed to remain outside. The exemp tion from taxeB would be an inducement for other factories to locate here. Ex-Mayor Caufield was much inter ested in the matter, but doubted the ex pediency of the move. Pure water is necessary but the cost of securing it will fall principally on the coming genera tion. The income of the ater commis sion will be more than sufficient to liquidate the obligation When the mills wore first established here the town was small and of little in portance, but witii the advent of the mills the city took on new life and has kept pace with the growth of the mills, The city is greatly benefitted by the en- ployeos of the mills living and trading here and they pay their portion ot the taxes. As a business proposition the exten sion is not good. The entire charge of the suspension bridge would have to be assumsd by the city and all county roads would have to be kept up by the the city, that piece from end of the bridge to the graded portion leading to Willamette Falls would be expensive to build. The new territory would de mand water, light, lire and police pro tection which would entail great ex pense. To supply water the main would have to be laid under the river. All of us want the town to grow, and to liav.i high taxes would be no inducement for new mills to locete here. The rough nature of tho country would render the street grading yery ex pensive. If the place waa built up a central government would be the cheaper way. The people should not be taken in unless willing, every resident has petitioned against it. J. E. Hedges championed the cause of Canemah. A large majority of the resi dents of Canemah are opposed to com ing in aa the benefits to be derived are not commonsurate with the cost. Other sections that have been taken in have eived nothing. Tho. school debt ould have to be assumed by Oregon City and that alone would more than offset the amount to be derived from taxes. There are many cesspools in Canemah not connected with the river, but a sewer system to regulate this mat ter would not bo of benefit to the water used by the city. The vote was taken on Canemah and the West Side separately, Canemah was rejected and the mayor cast the deeming vote not to take in the West Side. C uts II. Caufield was called on and poke in favor of the amendment to bring in water from the Clackamas. The cost will be about $30,000, water to be taken out at a point some three miles above the city near the tiig bluff. A sufficient fall can be secured to establish gravity system, and county roads ould be used fur the pipe lino. A 20 inCh pipe would be laid to the present pumping itation, the water to be pumped from there to the reservoir. A natural gravel filter would be used, assuring pure water at all times. This amendment also changes the law so that no dividond is paid th.) city by the water commission. The council recommended the change. The proposilion todiyide the city into three wards and providing for 'the election of three councibnen for three yeara from each ward was recommended. The street commissioner was instructed to repair the break in the Singer hill all. Tho Molalla Road. Molali.a, On., Jan 7, 1899. Office of members of Board of Trade, Oregon City, Oregon.
