COMMUNICATION.
KUItor Oregon City Enterprise:
Dear Sir I note in your Issue of
January 11th, your Sandy corresjion
dent made certain statements In re
gard to tho proosed amendment to
the city churter, now before the coun
cil, and to come before the electors
of Sandy, which are erroneous and
should ;be answered. Your corres
pondent states that "it is said" the
money to be raised by this special'
tax was to be used for the purpose of
paying debts contracted in improving
the street in 1916. I would say that
your correspondent's informants have
not studied tho proposed amendment
or they would have noted thut this
amendment, if carried, will Invest tho
council with power to levy a ten in
stead of a five mill tax to cover the
general expenses of the city.
In the past It has been necessary
for the city to hold a special election
each year to vote this five mill tax,
thereby Incurring a needless exixmse
of about $50.00. The reason for the
tax Is that when the city was Incorpor
ated we obtained a revenue from
liquor license of some eight or twelve
hundred dollars per year. As we all
know, thl shas been cut off, and
also the city after Incorporating, has
installed electric lights nnd the money
the council wos eniowered to raise
by charter was inadequate to cover
necessary expenses.
There is no part of the general fund
ever has been, ever will be. or ever
can be expended on any road or street.
Yours very truly,
M. A. D EATON,
Recorder of the City of Sandy.

the people and a fair spirit of co-op

been shown.
"One of the events that will be a
mile post in the history of the club
is the campaign made by the Twelve
Apostles of road efficiency, appointed
by the club, for the adoption of the
$6,000,000 bond issue for permanent
roads ,and although Clackamas Coun
ty cast its vote against the bill the
vote was closer than was expected,
and the effort made by these apostles
helped to carry the bill In the State
and placed the State Highway Com
mission under everlasting obligations
to those who assisted in the campaign.
and today Clackamas County is con
spicuous on the program for the con
st ru tlon of roads from the funds de
rived from this bond issue which with
the plans of co-operation adopted by
our County Court Insure us results of
a permanent nature and the co-opera

CURRIN DAMAGE
INJURY VERDICT
IS APPEALED
The Crown Willamette company has
filed notice of appeal from the $1,000
verdict awarded J. W. Currin recently
in Judge Campbell's court, for per
sonal injuries sustained by Currin
while in the employ of the company.
The Judgment was rendered Novem

surface roads and thereby bringing
about a closer relation and better feel
ing among our people. In my humble
opinion, if a hard surface road could
be constructed running easterly from
Oregon City through Logan, Estacada
and Sandy to Mt. Hood It would tap
a wonderful country and do much in
cementing the relations between Ore
gon City and the eastern part of
Clackamas County, which has been
somewhat strained during the past
years.
"In this connection allow me to re
call that In my report one year ago I
called attention to the fact that East'
ern Clackamas and Oswego were en
deavoring at that time to dismember
our county, and I expressed the opin
ion that these efforts wonld fail. With
the help of the majority of the good
and loyal citizens of the parts of the
county seeking to secede, In a fight for
nnity led by this club, these efforts
were defeated and today Clackamas
county is better united than has been
for many years.
In my last report I called attention
that a bill had just been introduced In
Congress for the appropriation of $80,
000 for the deepening of the locks at
the falls. This bill afterwards became
a law, and the money la now being ex
pended for this purpose to the satis
faction of this club, which first under
took the task of making the locks free
and opening the Willamette river to
deeper transportation.
"No great promotion work has been
undertaken by the Publicity Depart
ment of the Club during the last year
and its efforts have been directed to
wards assisting the club in Its cam
paign of good feeling and a few events
of local interest, among which I note.
"Last spring the merchants of Ore
gon City had a spring opening event
attended by hundreds of people from
the city and country at which prizes
were offered for best decorated win
dows, and the judging was done by a
committee of the East Side Business
Men's club of Portland, after which a
banquet was served.
"The same thing was done by way
of a fall opening, bringing forth much
good natured rivalry and interest A
portion of the expenses of these events
was met by the publicity funds.
"At the San Francisco fair in 1915
many farmers of Clackamas county
won medals for superior products
grown and exhibited. These exhibits
were secured largely through the ef
forts of the publicity department and
the medals won were presented to the
winners by the chairman of this com
mittee at a Live Wire luncheon held
during last spring, with the winners as
guests.
"During the spring of 1917, the pub
licity committee brought to Oregon
City some 600 business people of the
state, from Portland by boat, while in
attendance at "Buyess Week." These
people were shown through the woolen
and paper mills and were given a
luncheon on the campus of McLoughlln
park, all to their great enjoyment.
Likewise this committee assisted the
teachers of Clackamas county in bring
ing to Oregon City some 800 of the
leading educators of the United States
from the national convention held in
Portland in 1917; these people were
also shown through the mills and fac
tories, and presented with souvenirs
and refreshments,
"Your present publicity committee
is at the present time engaged in a
campaign of securing funds for the
work for the coming year, and while I
realize that the demands upon our
business men for funds are great on
account of the war, I earnestly hope
that enough money will be secured to
keep the work going along the lines
carried on during the past year, and
when we consider that sixty per cent
of all of the money subscribed to this
fund last year was paid by the large
corporations, It "seems that the busi
ness men would be glad to pay the
other forty per cent and reap the bene
fit of all.
During the last year manifest con
fidence has been expressed In the busi
ness stability of our city by the invest
ment of large sums of money, among
which I note:
1. Large paper mill of Hawley Pulp
& Paper company.
2. Additional unit added to Oregon
City Manufacturing company's plant,
doubling its capacity of out put.
3. The automobile plant of Miller
Parker company, which is second" to
none in the state.
4. Furniture factory of Frank Busch.
6. Additional unit added to Oregon
City hospital.
"In addition to the above there have
been constructed many large and beau
tiful residences.
"The year just ending has been filled
with events pertaining to our national
existence, to such an extent that com
mercial club activities of the usual na
ture and character have been some
what overshadowed, and since the
breaking of peaceful relations with
Germany in April, 1917, the demand
upon our business and professional
people for patriotic activities has
smothered the fires of commercial
work and has kindled in their stead
illuminating blazes of patriotic glory,
such as have not burned since 1865.
"The commercial club parlors have
been open to all patriotic meetings, In
cluding Red Cross, Y. M. C. A., Liber
ty Loans, War Library, Camp Recrea
tion, War Saving Stamps and Certifi
cates, etc., and this club has glyen ac
tive support to all drives for funds.
"At the time when our boys were
drafted for service public receptions
were held under the auspices of, the
club for the departing boys, at which
appropriate programs were rendered.
"In closing permit mo to say that I
know of no greater work that can be
done by this club at this time than to
stand as the head and center of all pa-.
triotic activities now being put for
ward in defense of our nation to the
end that our people may all be deeply
sensible of their obligations as citi
zens at a time when our rights and lib
erties are at.periL"
