Open letter to Mnyor Vincent
and City Council of St. Johns
Gentlemen: For two rousoiiB 1
am opposed to the purchuse of
the Gatton tract for a cemetery.
First, the price, $1(500 per acre,
is exorbitant; second, the loca
tion is abominable. Proof of
the accuracy of my first state
ment is contained in the fact
that the laws of Oregon demand,
"that all land shall bo assessed
at its full value." The tract in
question is assessed at $33.83
per acre. The price you propose
paying, $1000, is 18 times its as
sessed value. Gentlemen, is
there a man among you that
would nav 81G00 ner acre for the
Gatton tract? Is there one of
you that would pay $G00 per
aero for the Gatton tract? Is
there a man on the council that
would pay $300 per acre for this
site? And, gentlemen, you
should not forget that in
handling city monej you are
supposed to use as much care

Wc concluded that there is but one reason why .sonic of our busi

Portland: It is because they can step iu a store with stock of fifty or sixty
thousand dollars from which to choose. BUT those same stocks are
large, not sa much because of variety as because of large supplies of
sixes. There isn't any business man who could expect that sort of a
stock iu St. Johns; what is more, if you are not loyal enough to your.
community to give us what business you can, there never will be n
stock of (lint magnitude iu St. Johns.
Again we agree that with increased
