The program consisted of musical

Property owners of the district to
the west of Itenta who have been
striving for the past four years to
have the city council authorize the
hard-surfacing of Foster Road and
the construction of a trunk sewer
for the district finally were rewarded
with success yesterday when the
city council, by unanimous vote of
four members present, overruled the
remonstrance filed against the pro
ject and passed an ordinance to pro
ceed with the improvement.
The special session of the council
was devoted to hearing the remon-
strators, who repeated practical Iv the
same arguments which have been
heard time and again at Foster Road
sewer hearings before the citv coun-
eil.
I t
The only change in the arguments
came near the close pf the session,
when Mrs. George W. Chilson and
other persons who have been against
the sewer project informed the coun
cil that they would withdraw their
objections if the city council would
authorize the construction of the
sewer to the Willamette river.
After some discussion on this point
Mayor Baker informed the dele *ati>n
that the city council (would instruct
the city engineer to prepare plans
immediately for the second unit of
the sewer.
The first unit will extend to Ninety-
second street and Johnson Creek,
while the second unit will extend
from this point to the Willamette
river, probably running at all prints
srithin the city limits.
Inasmuch as the city engineer al
ready has plane and epecifleaaons
prepared for the second unit. Mayor
Baker declared it was probable that
both units could be constructed at
the same time.
City Engineer lAurgaard estintated
that the entire sewer would cost th-
property owners approximately $6X
for each 50-foot lot. City Commis
sioner Barbur explained that it was
probable that the sewer would be
constructed in a number of units in
order to give the smaller contractors
an opportunity to bid and thus bring
cheaper prices In the bids that will
be offered the city for the work.
In connection with the pavement
of Foster Road it has b-en agreed by
the county boar! of commissioners
that the county will spend $85.000 on
the construction of the hard-surface
pavement.
Before the city can proceed with
the improvement it will be neceaarv
to take over the roadway- as a city

consented to move the tracks on Fos
ter Road from 50th to 72nd streets,
to the center of the roadway, at an
expense of $200,000. in order that
other improvements may be made.
Franklin T. Griffith, president, and
F. I. Fuller, vice-president of the
company, after a conference with
Mayor Baker, City Commissioner
Barbur and City Engineer Itaur-
gaard, announced that a written
communication would be forwarded
to the city council at once, in which
the railway company would outline
what it would do inconneetion with
the proposed improvement
President Griffith explained that at
no time had the traction company
refused to move its tracks in accord
ance with the wishes of the city
council. The company. It waa said,
did not wish to make the move, how
ever, until such time as it waa cer
tain that the improvement would be
carried out.
"The work which must be per
formed by the street railway com
pany," declared Mr. Griffith, “means
the laying of new tracks, paving of
certain important intersections, ma
cadamizing others, and laying of
proper drain pipes, all of which will
cost us in the neighborhood of $200,-
000.
"It will not be profitable for the
company to make these improve-
menta, but to fail to make them
would mean the discontinuance of
.«ervicc.
Despite the fact thaf on
this particular line the railway com
pany is not making profits, the dis
trict in which the «improvement is
contemplated is well populated. The
first duty of the railway company is
to give service and for that reason it
is willing to go ahead and do its
part.”
Officials of the company agreed to
lay new tracks. They proposed that
no pavement be laid between the
tracks and that certain important in
tersections be designated for bard
turface. The rest of the roadbed »rill
be built up with crushed rock and
macadam, according to the proposal.
City officials have expressed wil
lingness to permit this plan-
City-
Engineer Laurgaard had recommend
ed a similar course to the council
months ago.
It will be necessary for the city to
purchase the private right of way on
which the street-car tracks are now
located. This strip is about 30 feet
wide and 6000 feet in length and has
an estimated value of between $8000
and $8500
Should the city officials and the
railway officials fail to agree upon
a price for this right of way, it will
be necessary to condemn the strip.
