Bradley Califf. son of Edward Ca liff. of this city, was killed Thursday afternoon about 4:45, while working with a construction crew at the Will amette Pulp & Paper Company's mill on the West Side. Young Califf was standing on a scaffolding and was in tho set of tiehtenine a nut with a wrench and losing his balance fell on the concrete below, a distnace of 15 feet, striking full force on his head. Dr. Meissner was telephoned for and arrived on the scene shortly af- er the accident had happened, ana after working hard to bring the unfor tunate vouth to consciousness louna that he was beyond medical aid. His spiue was injured when he fell and it is probable that his death was in stantaneous. The body was brought to the Holman & Myers' undertak ing parlors, where they prepared nira for burial. The vounc man had been an employe of the Willamette Pulp & Paper Com pany for the past three years, ana has always been considered a careful workman, and no blame has been at tached to anyone for his death. He was about 21 years of age, and nas resided in this city most of his lite. He leaves a father, a well-known stone mason of this city, two Drotn- ers. Carl and Gilbert, and two sisters. Effle and Ida. who reside on Jonn Quincy Adams street between Eighth and Ninth streets. Califf. wno was well liked among his fellow workmen. was the grandson of Mrs. S. a. taun, a well-known fesident of this city and of the late S. B. Califf. His mother died In this city several years ago from consumption. The deceased was a member of the Foresters, and of the Woodmen of the World, being a member of the de cree team of the latter.

New Scheme Will Permit City to Improve Streets Whenever Petitione r Filed With the Council. Important changes In the manner of Improving streets in Oregon City are planned by the city council, assisted by Senator Hedges and Rudolph Koer ner, the latter for many years being chairman of the committee on streets and public property. In order to at tain the- end desired there will be nresented to the city for adoption at the general election December 6, next, an amendment to the city cnaner that is calculated to give the city more Improved streets without addi tional cost to the taxpayers, except those who are especially benefited by the Improvement. Details of the proposed amendment were given out by Councilman Wil liam Andresen. Under the present plan the city pays one-third of the cost of all Improvements, and as a result oeople living In the outskirts of the city have been compelled to provide funds directly for tne im provement of any and all streets. On the Other hand these Bame property owners will, probably be compelled to wait for years berore their property Is Improved, as the tendency is al ways to Improve the streets that are nearer the centers of population. With a tax levy of three mills lor the permanent, street Improvement fund and a consequent revenue of from $5000 to $6000. it Is only pos sible for the city to Improve about one street each year, and so long1 as the city pays one-third of the cost, not more than $18,000 can be expend ed. It follows that many streets that are really deserving of Improvement will have to remain in a rougn con dition for possibly many years. Last year residents of Eleventh. Twelfth, Washington, Taylor and High streets petitioned for Improvement and even If every property owner on all these streets had been In favor of the Im provement, it would have been mani festly impossible for the council to comply with their wishes. Many own ers of property on Sixth and Ninth streets expected to ask for the Im provement of those thoroughfares, but they were advised that It would be useless to make an anempi. It is not the purpose, however, of the city to completely eliminate the permanent street improvement fund, but It will be retained. While the fund will be materially reduced, there will be sufficient provision made to take care of any damages that may he assessed against property. When damages were claimed under the present syem the property owner had to pay the full amount of the as sessment in cash, togetner wun aooui $20 for attorney and committee fees, but under the plan proposed the com plainant will meet with a committee from the council and such damages as may be awarded will be paio irom the peramnent street Improvement fund. Instead or tne general iiinu, mm the property owner will be allowed to pay the balance of his assessment ' .... r. 4 in ten years under me uancnju ao. The new Dlan limits the assessment of any property to 50 per cent, of the actual value or the property, inis ia designed to prevent a confiscatory as sessment, such as were made on 'prop erty of D. C. Latourette and Mackr Howell on the Mamson street; m- provement. The present tlgnt ior aw Injunction against the Improvement of Eleventh street made by Captain J. T. Apperson will hardly be possi ble under the plan proposed. No change Is made relative to the . territory that will bear the cost of improvement, and property on both sides of the street to be Improved will be assessed a distance of 100 feet from the street. Two-thirds of the property will be necessary to pre vent any improvement tnrougn a re monstrance. The present Dasis is one-half. Author Returns from Visit East.
