SANDY CORRESPONDENT
REPLIES TO. RECORDER
In your Issue of January 18, under
the Sandy Department, was printed
ft tetter to you signed by M A. Dea
ton, recordor of the City of Sandy.
Although the recorder's statements In
that letter are worded final and con
clusive, there are a few things which
he touches on that are not clear to
your correspondent. The opening
clause of his letter as follows: "1
note In your Issue of January 11th,
your Sandy correspondent made cer
tain statements In regard to the pro
posed amendment to the city charter
now before the council, and to come
before the electors' of Sandy, which
are erroneous and should be answered.
Your correspondent states 'that it Is
said' the money to be mined by thla
special tax was to be used for the
purpose of paying debts contracted
in Improving the streets In 1910,"
Let us sea what your correspondent
did say. Here it Is. "It is said the
reason for the necessary Increase in
tho city tax is due to the buldlng of
about 1000 feet of crushed rock road
in Center street." That is alt the
recorder teems to take objection to.
Now isn't his quotation of my article
erroneous? Webster says erroneous
iaj something containing error, ur
false. Ho plainly misquotes my state
ment concerning this hear-say evi
dence. Ills only contention Beems to
hinge on his statement of what the
city has a right to do under the pres
ent charter. Your correspondent Is
not contending that that article in
which she said "it is said," etc, that
money can bo taken out of the gen
oral fund and used for road purposes
.under nil circumstances; but the re
corder says, "There is no part of the
general fund ever has been, ever will
be or ever can be expended on any
road or street.' Now1; let us sea what
the charter says. Under Chap. VIII,
Art III, which treats of the improve
ments of streets, etc, in Sec, 92: "No
assessment for said improvement shall
be levied against any of Said property
greater than 50 per cent of the said
valuation thereof. The excess of. the
cost of said improvement shall be paid
out or the general fund " That looks
like the charter was going to reveres
the recorder's decision.
Before we go any further, let me
any that I am endeavoring to do my
best as an unbiased and unprejudiced
correspondent for your paper, in gath
ering news from any source. I am
just as glad to print the recorder's ar
ticle us any one else' statements, and
welcome any facts" or news concern
ing the government management or
mismanagement of our city. However,
our recorder does not deny thut the
1000 feet of crnshod rock road men
tioned cost Ion than 11700; that the
Firwood district built a ttood road,
which has hud heavy loads of ties
hauled over It, for about $1200 a mile.
He does not deny that the Firwood
road Is In good shape at the present
time. He does not deny that the Klr
wood people hud to haul their rock
about 1 mles or nearly twice as far
as the city of Hamly, He might say,
and he probably will, and justly, thut
the Handy road was built much wider,
(hut It was built much deeper, but
haw will he explain the fact that the
city fathers paid about $1.28 ft yard
for their crushed rock while one of
the coiincllmnn privately bought the
sume crushed rock for about 80 cents.
How will he explain the fact, If It Is
a fact, that Multnomah County cnn
build Its macadam road for about
$5000 a mile, but the city of Sandy
pays $0000 for ordinary crushed rock.
Is there any reason why the taxpay
ers of the city of Handy should not
know all the fucts concerning the
building of this road In Center street,
or concerning any other thing con
nected with the city management?
I do not wish to cast any reflection
upon our present recorder, or upon
any other city oficer. 1 understand
Mr. Deaton waa not recorder at the
time of the construction of this piece
of road, but If there was mismanage
ment, or gross-negligence so that the
cost was excessive, or, In other words,
"If there was a. nlggr In the brush,"
It Is possible under the coming man
agement of the general fund where
they say it Is necessary for an In
crease in the gcnxral tax, for the tame
waste to continue.
There are many ways of raising
money in this city, or in any oiner
city, without voting an increase In the
general tax; and there are also many
as of saving money. It might be
possible under good mansgemerft
to cut down the cost of the city light,
It might be possible under I'ar. 42,
Chapt, V, of the city charter headed
rowers and Dulles of the City Coun
cil" to secure more money out of the
telephone or the light company, or the
users of said light and telephone. It
might be well for the tax payers of
this city to read Sec 37 of Chap. VII.
and see whether It Is compiled with
or not; and. If It la not, to Insist that
It shall be.
In closing, I would like to ask the
recorder just how the funds were rais
ed to build this 1000 feet of road in
Center strict, and whether, or not the
elty hud the money to pay for It at
the time It was built; and, If it did
not, how was It paid for?
BRICHTWOOD WOMAN MAKES
RECORO RED CROSS DRIVE
Mrs. John Mclutyre, whose husband
was tho founder of Hrighiwood on the
Handy-Welsh road, and who has lived
near Salmon river for over twenty!
years, unaided by advestlsing matter,
with no local organization to buck her,
mounted her horse, and alone rode
over the sparsely settled community
In the rain storm and raised $1K.50
for the Red Cross. We feel this Is a
record any woman should he proud of,
that tt deserves special mention In the
reports, and we "take off our tints" to
Mrs. Mclntyre.
WELL-KNOWN GOVERNMENT
COOK RETURNS TO ZIQ
ZAG RANGER STATION
Jack Templeton, who has been cm.
ployed by the Korest Service as cook
for a number of years during the sum
mer months, returned to Zig Zug the
15th and will probably remain some
time. During Mr. Templeton's absence
he has been employed as cook on the
"21" Ranch near Lewlston, Idaho. The
poople own 5000 acres and much
of thut part of the country,
ofthal purt of the country. ,
A NEW R. F. D.
A new R. F. D. which seems to be
assured will start from Boring, run
ning cost to Peterson's corner; then
east to the Hite plnco, north to the
Pipe line road to the C. IS. Woodcock
place, then south by the Thomns road,
through Sandy to Boring. This will
start Kebruury 1st, and serve about
105 families. i
Sleep on. Sandy! There Is already
a rural route through this city follow
ing the same road as two star routes.
Both these rurul routes should leave
Sandy Instead of Boring. The main
road from Boring to Sandy could be
supplied by tho star route; also a por
tion of the Saudy-Welch road, two
miles to Klrwood. The Marmot Btar
routo Is now supplying mall for two
nnd one-half miles of this proposed
new rural route. The rural delivery
for the Sandy country could be oper
ated much more economically from
Sandy thnn it can from Boring There
will come a time if we allow this stuff
to continue, when wo will beN asked
to give up our post-office to some
little Jork-wnter town. There are a
number of people now whose resi
dence Is Sandy, who vote in Sandy,
who buy their groceries in Sandy, who
have to give as their address, Boring.
LUTHERAN CONGREGATION
HEAR A GOOD SERMON
iast Sunday Rev. F. Dobberfuhl
preached on Math. 25:1-13. In his in
troduction he illustrated that all the
signs of Christ's coming to Judgment
are completely fulfilled, that the judg-
mom any is nign. The subject of his
discourse was: "Why should we
watchfully await the final judgment
duy? First, because Christ may come
at any time. Second, because only
thoso who are watchful will entef with
mm into eternal salvation.
Jesus Christ here speaks in a par
able. Tho kingdom of heaven here
represents the visible church on earth
ine tne ten virgins" are those who
confess tho christian doctrine: the
lamp represents the Christianity; ihe
"oil" is the true faith. Christ him
self is the "bride groom," whose bride
is the true christian church.
( 'i
When Jesus Christ will come to
judKe the quick and the dead, not all
of those who were members of the
visible church on earth wilt be pre
pared to meet him joyfully. There
uro many who are tike the "five fool
ish virgins," that have no oil In their
lump, 1. e no true fuilb. it Is the
earnest desire of our gracious bride
groom, Jenus Christ, that all should
await him watchfully. Therefore he
exclaims, "Watch, therefore, for ye
know neither the duy nor the hour
wherein the son of man cometh." Hoi
may come at any time and he will
come suddenly, llo himself saya "At
the lightning cometh out of the east,
and thlneih even unto the west, so
shall also the corning of the sou of
man be," Compare U 21-33. And He
will come unexpectedly, for thut He
has spoken unto His disciples. Math.
24143. Know this, that If the good
man of the house had known in what
watch the thief would come, he woufcl
have watched and would not have suf
fered hit house to be broken up.
Therefore be ye also ready; for In
such an hour as ye think not, the son
of man cometh. Woe unto htm who
Is not watchful t Only the watchful
will be prepared to meet Him joyfully.
Christ here means ft spiritual watch
fulness aa It is found In the "five
wise virgins" who had oil in tbelr
lamps, L e.fl the true faith.
All those, and those only, who are
truly falthfull, who faithfully believe
In Jesut Christ as their savior; and
la their dally life, by avoiding tin and
obeying Clod's commandments, prove
that they are not merely outward
member of the Christian church, but
that they really possess the true and
living fullh; only those will be found
watchful and prepared to joyfully
meet the Lord at His coming, and
they alone will enter with Him into
eternal bllsa and happiness.
