DIRE RUMORS CURRENT THAT PRECIOUS DOCUMENT HAS BEEN LAID ON TABLE POPULAR BEFORE ELECTION Voters Now Wondering if "Economic" Administration Will Make Good on Budget Why is a budget? This is the question which is bothering a great many Oregon City people at this time. They are won dering whether or not the much talked of Oregon City budget, which was to be the measure of municipal expenditures for the year 1915, has been laid on the shelf, pigeon-holed in regular senate fashion, or simply forgotten altogether, now that the election is over. Nothing has been heard or seen of the precious document, which look ed so good to the taxpeyers about these parts some few months ago. Some of the real skeptical ones are hinting dire things of the budget; that it has been forgotten altogether by the city dads; that little effort is being made to conform to its provis ions or limitations of city mdeDted ness, and some have even gone so far and have become so impudent as to state that the measure was but po litical pottage, principally. It will be remembered that "econ omy" was the slogan, and "bugdet" the pass-word of the present admin istration. In fact some few election promises handed out during the last real warm municipal campaign, were to the effect that some ' candidates were running on the "budget" plat form, and would insist on a strict compliance with the well defined terms and limitations of the docu ment prepared about that time by the. strenuous labors of the city fathers. Again, why is a budget? Oregon City people wanted mu nicipal relief. The economy talk sounded good and the budget idea looked like a best bet. Expenditures had to be reduced at all cost. The city must get down to .business. Anyhow the Jones' administration succeeded itself and the cuts began. The knife was sharpened and it look ed like easy sailing for a week or two. Then there slowly developed an antip athy toward the slicing operations. Wednesday night at council meet ing Chief Shaw's salary was fixed at $30.00, a $15.00 raise over that de cided upon Beveral weeks ago, when the chief's monthly "per" was cut to $75.00, pursuant to the general economy slogan as evidenced by the budget. It may go back to $100.00 at the next meeting. Such action would not be surprising to the people of Oregon City. It's up to the Jones' administra tion to make good on the economy sl gan or a mighty wail will be voiced by the citizens before the year is out.' A promise is a promise and a cut cut and the knife should fall on political friends and enemies alike. . .:. .,.. - s it. it . . .r .. . x until, todav ne is one ui tne -,:- dnntori hv the directors autnor- . . ... ..... ., . , , . , j """ l The mrv Was out auout un num. j best informed men in the state J izing the transfer 0f mortgages upon 3C0 Bed of John Llewellen, . in ma ine. i it. ..Anni4i, anri n anrincr awav ior i - . . . t E.
