A gnat deal has been said and written on the aublix: of good roads ror Clackamas County and how to gel them. Judging from (he alaloimiute, aud assertions mad It Is quite evident that most of the peoplo desire good permanent roads but cannot agree on how to get them. Personally I have held great hopes (hat a sound business policy would be pursued (his year by our County Court aided by well meaning patriotic citizens or good busluess Judgment who stand ready to assist In working out a good systematic programme of procedure under the 1913 road law whereby we can secure for this county a fine system of permanent main trunk and other roads, extending from the farming communities lo the mar ket places. I'nder such a plan the permanent main trunk roads can be secured economically and within a very abort period of time. Good permanent all-year roads are a very important factor in Increasing the prosperity of the farmer and re ducing the coat of living for all. Good roads bring the farm nearer the market (1. e. In time required to reach It) and enhance the value of the farm on that account. The U. 8. De partment of Agriculture has records of places In the South where the time required to haul goods from the farm to the market baa been reduced from twelve to two days by the construc tion or permanent roads to replace the old mud holes or excuses for roada. Many examples showing the large sav ing in haulage costs could be given showing the great economic value of good permanent roada. Dors It psy to build permanent Mads? You may be sure It does. Had roads are a great economic waste. The heavy cost of bad roads fulls on the entire population of the community served and affected by such roads but this heavy coat falls In great er degree on the farmers who must haul the products of their farms over these bad roads as they are at a great disadvantage In attempting to com pete In the markets with other rural communities which have through good business senso secured good perma nent all year roads leading to the mar kets. The only proper way to figure on the cost of a road la to couslder both the first cost and the maintenance cost for a period of ten or more years, and Its effective traffic condition during that period. Under the present con dition of travel on main roada a ma cadam road would have to be re-surfaced every two or three years and even then It would be In bad condi tion over one-half of the time. On such main roads the hard surfaced or paved roadway, If properly built, would require practically no repairs for a period of ten years and a rood and sufficient bond guaranteeing the roadway against any cost for repairs ran be nad for a period of at least five years. To my mind there Is no question as to the advantage or hard surfaced roadway for rural main trunk roads over macadam or any similar improvement. They are cheaper In the end even with only Just cost and maintenance considered but during the penoa or use they supply highly ef fective all year round traffic conditions and make great additional savings to the farmer in the cost or hauling pro duce to the market calculated In time, energy, wear and tear or men, teams. wagons, harness, etc With hard sur taxed roads motor trucks or motor wagons could be used to ply between the farm, and the market places, still further reducing the costs. How are we to secure these good roads and the great benefits and bless ings that will necessarily come with them 7 Hy eliminating the present unbusi nesslike and wasteful system, and In auguratlng a practical scientific engi neering system of road construction. This system will require the county to engage a competent and well qualified engineer, one especially fitted by train ing and experience to take -charge of this branch of the county work. The proper and economical construction of good roads Is a matter requiring spe cial engineering skin and experience. There are many details and conditions entering In, all of which must be taken Into consideration, and met by the iraineq and experienced engineer so as to get the best results obtainable under the circumstances and at the least possible coat.- It will pay the county well to engage a first class road engineer, one who knows the business thoroughly, and a man whose nonesty, and Integrity la above ques tion, to superintend the construction of our roads. Such a man will save to the taxpayers of this county many many times the salary he would be paid. All successful private business firms and corporations select for the heads of their departments men especially fitted to take charge of and administer the affairs of those departments. The business of the public Is larger and of more Importance than that of any pri vate firm or corporation and should be mannged at least as well and as eco nomically. A satisfactory plan for a main trunk road In this county may include a hard surfaced or paved portion varying from 9 feet to 16 feet In width, the width being determined by the amount of trafflo that will pass over It. the paved portion to have dirt, gravel or macadam shoulders of suitable width. Such permanent roads for our main trunk lines can be had at reasonable cost W have raised by direct taxa tion under general and special levies In this county for expenditure on the roads the ensuing year the enormous sum of $318,065.62 exclusive of the 1.4 mill levy for retiring road warrants already Issued for the maintenance of present roads making a grand total for this year of $360,795.47 (go to the records and verify this), and this great amount, if our county court pursues the plan It has decided on and out lined In a recent Issue of the Morn ing Enterprise, Is to be nsed In the same old way, without any adequate Heart Disease Almost Fatal to Younf Girl "My dauglitar, whan thirteen yj old, waa itrltkso with baart trouble. be was so bs4 ws had to plaoe bar U4 near a window so she eould get bar brneth.

If we are not to make a start on the better plan this year as we should we are no more likely to make the start next year or probably the next. and with the continuance of such meth ods, we will continue to waate our time, energy and money with very little beneficial result, comparatively speaking. Therefore, after reviewing the past history or road building and the pres ent outlook, I feel that we should im mediately proceed to bond this county for the full amount permitted under the law, viz: two per cent of Its as sessed valuat, viz: $30,621,327.00 (amount tor 1913) which will produce $610,426.64 and which we can make available at once for the construction of permanent main trunk all year roads through our county and con necting the farming districts with the towns and market places including ar teries to Portland, the great market and port close to our districts. And why shouldn't we bond for this amount at once to secure the blessings and benefits that. good roads will bring to the people of this county? A good business man or farmer who is handicapped In his plans and efforts on account of Insufficient working cap ital will, If be has the security Im mediately (bond) borrow a sufficient amount to provide equipment neces sary to make his business or farm highly productive and profitable. . The money so borrowed will under good management be a sourca of In creased earnings and profits and there fore is no buMen but a great benefit. So with good permanent roada. They are a necessary equipment needed in our public and private business and will return large profits to all and the sooner we get the first units or main trunk roads built the sooner we will begin to reap those profits. I have prepared a table showing how the interest chargea on this proposed bond issue snd the retirement of the bonds in full can be handled so that the taxpayer will hardly feel the cost while using and enjoying the perma nent roads provided by the money se cured through It and reaping benefits, during the period, equivalent to sev er! times the cost As a basis for calculations in the table I have assumed the present as sessed valuation. at $30,500,000.00 or $21,327.00 less than that given ror 1913 for the sake of convenience. I have taken Into consideration the Increase In valuations of the property In the county. It this Increase was considered for the past ten year per lod the showing In the table would be much more favorable than It la. So there can be not Just criticism or question. I have used a uniform in crease of $3,100,000.00 In the assess able valuation each year during the period given In the table. This Is less than the average each year for the last four years of slow progress and semi-stagnation in the business of the country. The real increase will be much greater especially so If we build permanent roads. For these calcula tions I have also assumed that the bonds will bring only their par value, although Jackson county's bonds sold at a premium. Also that the bonds will bear Interest at the rate of five (5) per cent per annum and the money In the county's sinking fund will earn but four (4) per cent per annum. i . .... Q J CRYING HEED FOR A NIGHT ! ICIIOO L EVA EMERY DYE SAYS OREGON CITY PEOPLE ARE READY - TO COOPERATE Henry W. Kochler, of Oswego ha announced his candidacy for Sher iff of Clackamas County, on the Demo cratic ticket. Mr. Koehler Is a blacksmith by oc cupation, and has been a resident or Clackamas County ror over twenty years. He has served four successive terms as constable at Oswego, and Is under no obligation except the duties of the Sheriff's office, if nominated and elected. (Paid Adv.) PUBLIC MONEY WILL NOT BE NEEDED Rev. C. W. Robinson Has Volunteartd To Undertake Superintend ency Results In Port land Are Cited Dollars ($1000.00) although there many that pay on a much higher valuation. Then for the farmer who pays on $1000.00 assessed valuation this bond Issue will cost him but one dollar per year. Will bis benefits be worth more to him than one dollar per year? Any sensible or reasonable man will say yes, and many times that amount. Why the saving In the hauling cost for one load or two tons weight over eight miles or permanent hard surfaced road' way. It compared to like cost for our present roads, would amount to one dollar. If a Just proportional Increase on an ascending scale of the future assess able valuation, such aseit actually will be and as it doubly would be assured with the advent of permanent roads, the one mill levy would psy off the bonds In less than twenty years. Several progressive districts have In the last few years made special levies of ten mills a year tor road building. In addition to the regular levy, In their efforts to secure the blessing and economic benefits of good roads. This ten mill special levy In one year Is ten times the cost of the levy per year necessary to provide for the working capital to be secured by the proposed bond Issue and practical ly one-half of the entire cost, spread over the period of twenty-one years given In the table, of securing these main trunk roads with resulting bene fits at once by means of the proposed bond issue. This is a good sound business prop osition and one that will produce b g profits on the investment measured in money, increased land values, social intercourse, health, happiness and con tentment. The quickest and greatest profits will accrue to the farmers and the farming communities which would pay less than half or 44V4 per cent ol the whole, but the cities, towns and all business and Industrial life will necessarily feel Its good effect and benefit also. The public decls'on as to benefits of good roads may be drawn from the following extracta rrom a paper pre sented before the American Road Congress, held at Detroit. Michigan. Sept. 29 to Oct 4, 1913, by James M. McCleary, Engineer In charge of the construction of the famous bricn coun try roads built during the past sever al years In the territory surrounding Cleveland, Ohio. Mr. McCleary. after reciting the plan, method and details necessary for the construction of these high grade roads to secure the best re sults, states as follows: "In trying to express the proven worth of such roads to the community. I am at a loss for words. Their econ omy has been proven in contrast with any other methods of road building;. The fact that our roads are In shape ror maximum service twelve months In the year and that they originate no dust has endeared them to abutting dwellers and to travelers from a dis tance. WacMng by rain suffices to keep them clean and imparts a sani tary advantage which has been much emphasized by health authorities. Perhaps the most eloquent praise is contained In the simple statement that, although we have built nearly 400 miles of such road, 33 farmers' petitions are now on file In our office. asking for 33 separate extensions. Lo cal sentiment may be conservative, but It everlastingly catches on when It Is shown something really good. We are no longer besought to make cheap roads but to make good ones. Witness one case where assessments on a macadam road had still four years to run and yet so eager were the abutting owners for a better road that they threw four years payments into the discard and signed unanimous petition for brick. The petition was granted and brick laid, although it was necessary to scrap a relatively new macadam road to do so." These communities have learned what s best and most economical after ten years of wasted effort and a con siderable waste of money. As to the 4. EBY ENDORSES IDEA 4 Personally I can see a great deal of good In the suggestion of ' Mrs. Dye and If the matter can be worked out and the expense or a night school taken care of, I can 4 see no reason why any person or 'f number or persons should not be permitted to have the use of the school buildings, under proper safeguards, for night study. I 4 am sure that the members or the Board would be glad to discuss the matter with the citizens and taxpayera or Oregon City. O. D. Eby, Chairman Oregon City School board. OREGON CITY. Feb. 12. (Editor of the Enterprise.) Some of our progres sive citizens are discussing ways and means ror a public reading room and a coffee bouse ror the many employes or our city who need a quiet evening place of recreation. In this connec tion It would be well to call attention to the crying need of a night school In Oregon City. This would simplify the coffee house problem very mater ially. At an expense of probably $100,000 we have three large roomy comfortable edifices In this city belonging to the public, built and paid for with public money, already warmed and seated, yet empty every evening, namely, our public school buildings. And we have In our midst several hundred men and women who would be glad to use those buildings for a night school. When the President's noble daughter recent ly called upon the whole nation to op en its public school buildings for night school some timorous soul exclaimed, "But wouldn't the rabble go In?" '"Who are the rabble?" Inquired the Presi dent's daughter. Wherever night schools have been opened It has been round that "the rabble" resolved Itself Into debating societies, students, trade school classes, citizens. In Portland I believe Superintendent Alderman Is also superintendent of the night schools. If Professor Tooze Is too busy with his multitudinous good works. Rev. C. W. Robinson has vol unteered to undertake the superin tendency. Why lose the rest of this winter when three good months re main for a night school? Miss Fanny Porter of this city, now Principal of the Failing School In Portland and also Principal of the night school In the same building tells me she has classes In all English branches. One man, a Swede, told her he had lived twenty-two years In America and this is the first time he has had a chance to learn the English language, uregon City has many for eigners who are asking "When will the night school open?" Where will the money come from? What money, we have the buildings, all warm and ready and Idle? They belong to the city? Several teachers have volunteered their services. It might be even necessary to charge a small tuition at first, but that need not deter any really in earnest to get an education. The old Idea that only children go to school Is exploded. Schools are for anybody that wants to study. An old gray headed man and his wife have learned to read and write in Fanny Porter's school this winter. Never had a chance before, in this land ot boasted opportunity. An elderly woman, formerly or Oregon City, is with her daughter-in-law tak ing lessons In -millinery in Fanny's school. It Is more than likely that some or our Oregon City women would be glad of such an opportunity. In Washington City it has been esti mated that It would be worth $500, 000.000 annually to the United States tf all our citizens could read and write, worth more to themselves, worth more to the country. The problem Is right before us here In Oregon City. A Greek boy asked me If I could teach him to read. No brighter people in the world than those Greeks, whose ancestors civilized the world. An edu cated German offered to teach German in a night school for the privilege of learning English. It is time the school board turned the whole matter over to Professor Tooze to act We have already a night trade class under the skilled Instruction of Professor Forbes, a good beginning toward the night school.
