A COMMUNICATION,
SANDY, Oro., Jan, 80, (Editor Enterprise)-!
have buforo me a copy of
your last week' Usue In which I no
tice an article entitled "Bandy Corres
pondent Replies To Recorder," In
which your correspondent Koe at
length to prove that I misquoted h.'r
In a previous Issue.
It wa not toy Idem to engage In an
editorial duel with your preventa
tive, but limply to disprove the state
ment that the money to be raised by
the increased tax wa to pay debt
previously contracted to Improve the
street, The reply state that the
charter reverse my statement, or
rather my decision, to be exact, that
no part of the general fund ever has
been, ever will be, or aver can be ex
ponded to Imnrove streets: and to
prove thl quite a part of what pur
uort to be Sec, 92, Art. 3, Chap. VIII,
a follows: "No assessment for said
Improvements shall bo levied against
said property greater than 60 per cent
of the value thereof. The excess of
tho coMt of said improvement shall be
paid out of the general fund," In
looking thl up I find there I no Bee.
92, or Art. Ill In Chapt VIII of the city
charter. Chapt VIII deal with the
duties of the city recorder and make
no reference to street Improvement In
any way.
A to the charge as to the city be
ing stung on their crushed rock II 28,
while one of the councilman paid 80c,
I do not know any thing about. In
fact, I would have to be shown. I do
know, however, that when Sandy built
their street, it wa necessary to re
move some dirt to get to rock, thereby
increasing the cost of getting it out
which also decreased the cost of same
of the other road district' crushed
rock.
In regard to cutting dow ntbe light
coat, your correspondent should know
that the city I under a flat rate con
tract with the P. R., L. ft P. Co,
which cannot be changed without i
violation of contract.
Your correspondent also suggeat
that money might be raised by some
other mean. Of course tha city might
hold a bazaar, or give a buskct social,
but I do not believe these would be In
accordance with the usual custom.
Answering her Inquiry a to how
Center street was constructed, will
say that this street was Improved by
assessment, and It Is paid for, and the
money wa assessed and collected at
tho time Improvement were made.
Your very truly,
MS- A. PEA TON.

A CORRECTION.
GIRLS' CLUB MEETS.
Tho Caparacka met at the home
of the sergeant-at-arms, Miss Hazel
leers, last Friday evening, where the
tlm wa spent talking over event
that happened "centuries ago." After
thl discussion the girls were sum
moned to the kitchen for a "taffy
pull." A the taffy wa hard, many of
the girl did not like to trust their
teeth. Nevertheless, several of them
had to redeem their ring by eating
strips of taffy six Inches long and two
Inches thick. These atrip were not
to be cut or broken and had to be de
voured tho best way poislble, which
caused some merriment.
The meeting wa In the nature of
a farewell reception for Beatrice Beers
who wa leaving for Portland the
next day. At eleven o'clock, the club
adjourned until hto next meeting, to
be held at the home of the president,
Ml Gertrude Melnlg, Friday, Febru

OBITUARY.
In your last week' Issue your cor
respondent made this statement In
the report of the telephone meeting.
"At present we have two phones in
Sandy and not much service." Let
It be understood that your correspond
ent Is not criticising the service at
tho switch board of either phone. This
seemed to bo the understanding, but
the fault wa In the phrasing, not in
the meaning.
