AN OPDI FRONT
TO 4-FOOT LINE
SUBJECT OF WHAT THE PEOPLE
REALLY WANT CALLS FORTH
MUCH DISCUSSION.
QUESTION Of PARTITIONS UNSETTLED
In the Mind of Some Who Want to
Be Fair to All SalooniaU,
Giving No Advant
age. -
There waa considerable discussion
the city over Tuesday concerning
what Council will or will not do In
the matter of open fronts to saloons.
The fact that there had been many
people preaent at the meeting In the
Council chamber Monday evening In
dicates that many citizens were inter
ested In the outcome. ,- .
The points over which ther seemed
to be considerable doubt aa to Just
what ought to be done" In the matter
were aa to tho permission of a grill
with a partition between and Uie
helghth of the screen at the saloon
front. The ultra temperance men did
not like tho Idea of any partition, even
If It did run horizontal to the aireet
line and not parallel. They also
Beamed very obstinate In their deter
mination for a four-foot screen.
But the more the temperance people
aeem to atudy this question the more
willing they seem to be to look at the
question from both sides of vantage,
which is a hopeful sign to aay the
least. ,
The question brought out In tho dis
cussion of the subject on the street
Tuesday was concerning what the tem
perance people really do want In the
matter of the height of the screen.
Local temperance people certainly
want what la for the beat Is the way
one man put It. The question, then,
is to determine to the temperance
man's satisfaction Just what I best.
Th story waa being told on the
street Tuesday that in Vancouver
there la a provision for an open front
down to the pavement line. Thla waa
In vogue but few week until the
temperance people - demanded that
while the law aald there must be glass
tronU Ihey - desired . that, the glaaa
fronts be curtained off, and thla was
done-and la atlll don. If thl Is true
It may be well for Oregon City tem
perance people to study this phase of
the question at this time rather than
later.
Another citizen called attention to
the fact that to require no partition
parallel with the street but absolutely
horizontal would put all but two or
three saloon men out of the restaurant
or grill business because of the con
formation of their rooms and build
ings. This, he thought, waa unfair
and giving those two men an unfair
advantage. He believed in the open
front, he said, but that It should be
Instituted in such a manner that It
would not favor one or two and put
at a disadvantage all tho rest of th
saloonists. ' v
It was suggested that Council and a
few of the men so anxious for the
open front and the alngle partition to
make a trip to Salem and Vancouver"
for a study of the conditions aa they
really are In those two cities; It was
said that those who went could at
least see things as they really are un
der conditions approximating what Is
wanted In thia city. He waa of the
opinion that If a temperance man had a
hobby and was shown thai it was an
unwise hobbv he had faith enough In
the honesty of the temperance man to
concede that th reform waa not really
what It seemed at a distance.
That other feature proposed by
Councilman Pope, that Council and
the temperance people also If they
wish visit the saloons and see the
form of the buildings, the arrange
ment of the doors and windows, the
way things will be once the open rront
Is Instituted, he thought would open
the eyes of some aa to how matters
stand now. This feature of the pro
posed Information hunt appealed to
more than one who talked on the sub
ject, and several expressed It that they
would gladly go along under thoae
circumstances while under no other
would they visit' a ealoon.

of the street by blocks, the grade es
tablished to tho same from end to end
of the block and no break ta the
grade to occur in tho middl of th
block. -The Engineer explained that
to change the grade at tho atreet In
teraectiona would make a more beau
tiful atreet and the property holder
were asked to Benetton that grade, aa
laid down by the Engineer.
There . were short speeches by a
dozen property holder and the more
the matter waa discussed the-more
certain that th public did not like th
propoaltlon to make a break in grado
at street Intereaectiona only. Some
wanted tho break In grade at tbo mid
dle of certain block. After a dis
cussion pro and con by both citizens
living, on the street. and by member
of Council, and every one who wished '
to speak be lag given aa opportunity
by Council, a vote was taken by thoae
present and It waa voted unanimously .
to make th breaks at the middle of
the block, or at the alley, where it .
waa deemed advisable becaua - of
some condition In surface formation,""
seemingly making It .wise to do so, .
. ' After this had been' voted as th ,
aentlment of thoae property ' holder .
present a -tote waa taken informally -on
the question of block and It waa
decided that it waa the desire to have
the grade broken at the center of the
block between Fourth ' and Fifth "
' streets and between Eighth and Ninth
streets. The propoaltlon waa voted on
as to two or three other points on the
street but all but theae were voted
down. '...,.;..
Then there waa the question of the
width of the street between th curb
line. There were those who wanted a
40 foot atreet. others wanted a 34 too
street while the third claaa were oat- -
isfled with a 34 foot atreet It was
auggested that for a 34 foot street
from curb to curb would mean more
room for parking prlvllegee at the aide
of the street and cost lea to make the
atreet A few with corner lot abut
ting Seventh street wished a 40 foot
width so as to have a wide atreet for -nse
In connection with, a bnalnesa
facing on Seventh atreet. A rising
vote ot property, holdera. present
showed a desire for a 34 foot atreet.
The last question in connection' with
the Improvement of Monroe came Bp
In ' the query a" to how wide to
make the aidewalks and how wide the
parking. Some wanted one thing and
some another but there seemingly
were few who could agree among
themaelvea and after considerable dls
cuasion it was decided that Council
would settle that phase of the inquiry
when the balance ot the legislation for '
the street improvement 1b made.
There will be a Bpecial meeting of
Council tonight to consider the ac
ceptance of Center atreet at the handa
of the contractor, Harry Jone.
