(BY WILLIAM ANDRBSEN.)
. Having come Into poteealoa of In
formation ?ht partlea, ixloua for my
defeat, ar circulating' reports that
tho city' debt haa been greatly In
creased during the all yeara that I
have acted aa chairman t tho Fi
nance Committee, tn Juatico to my
self and aa a source of Information to
the clt:zna of Oregon City, at my
augreatlon, the City Treasurer, has
prepared the following report:
Oregon City, Oregon.
December 2, 1911.
To Whom It May Concern:
Thla Is to certify that I have ex
amined the Warrant Register of the
city of Oregon City, and find
That on December 14th. 190S, there
were paid Gneral Fund Warrants en
dorsed prior to July 2nd, 1903.
That on October 10th. 1911, there
were paiu General Fund Warrants en
dorsed pHor to November 25th, 1910,
and
That on December 14th. 1906, there
were ld Road Fund Warrants en
dorsed prior to October 4th. 1904.
That on October ISth. 191L there
wei paid Road Fund Warrants en
dorsed prior to August 6th. 1910, ex
cepting Warrants Noe. 157J and 1586
for $41 and $250.00 respectively,
and
That on December 2nd, 1911. there
ahows an Indebtednesa of $547723
againai Permanent ' Street Improve
ment Funu.
Thla certificate la given at tho re
quest of Mr. William Andreaen.
M". D. LATOURETTE.
Treasurer of the city of Oregon City.
Subscribed and aworn to before me
thla 2nd day of December. 11L -L1VY
8TIPP.
Notary Public for 8tate of Oregon.
In explanation of the above report,
I wish to say that at the time when I
was appointed to the office of chair
man of the Finance Committee, the
lndebtedneaa of the General Fund waa
In arrears, making It nectaaary to pay
Interest from July 2nd, 1903 to Decem
ber 14. 1905, a period of tins of two
years, five months, twelr daya.
On October 10. 1911. the time waa
reduced to ten 'montha, fifteen day.
The condition of the lndebtedneaa
of the Road Fund waa aim liar to that
of the General Fund, and tho period
of time of Interest was two yeara, two
months, ten day.
On October 18. 1911, th lengtn of
time wa reduced to one year, two
months, thirteen day. -
Ton will note by the above report
that the city' present total Indebted
nens against the Permanent 8treet
Fund Is $5,477.23. It Is evident that
this Is a remarkable showing, since
this fund Is need exclusively for the
payment of the city'a aharo on all
street Improvements, especially when
you take Into consideration tnat tho
actual street improvements during the
last two yeara waa $205,000.00.
Also wish to call your attention to
the fact that the levy of eight mills
has remained the same In the last six
years.
During the time I have been in the
clty'a service, it has always been my
aim to improve the financial affairs,
aiming to decrease taxes, and if elect
ed Mayor, I shall continue toe aame
policy.

Oregon City's Big
(BY 0. B. DIMICK).
I bavo been nominated for tho of
flee of mayor of our city by a largo
number of th legal voter and heav
iest taxpayer without any solicita
tion upon my part either directly or
indirectly, and you will bo oallod
upon on Monday, December 4 to ntalse
your choice between th candidates
for that Important postilion. ,
In order that three will bo no mlsv .
understanding ahould I be elected I
desire to state to you frankly my poei
Uon upon certain questions that wlb
coma before tho city administration
during th year 1912.
In the first place I bellevo tn fro
gresalon, but In pursuing that policy
the city administration should take
Into consideration the extreme hard
ships Imposed aa, well aa the benefits
derived from all Improvements of
public nature. During tho paat year
great many Improvements wore mado
under the amended City Charter and
there are today contracts outstand
ing for further Improvement which
will require a long length of time tor
their ultimate cbmpletHRL
One of the best engineers In tho
state, who after familiarizing htmsenT
jrith our atreet work, stated this Week
that Oregon City was paying twenty
per cent more for it atreet improve
ments than I necesaary, and I aaa
certain of my position when I any
that those conditions have boon
brought about by awarding contract
to the aame contractor long before
hla previous contract are completed
and before proper and accurate esti
mates ar made regarding the actual
coets of the Intended Improvement.
I do not believe In the- expenditure
of public money for public Improve
ments unless It Is done under the moat
careful and accurate method and tl
mate that can be acquired, and atreet
Improvement in particular where th
burden Js taxed against the abutting
property, the greatest care ahould bo
taken that la possible to exerct for
the reason that It usually sweep away
the saving of a man or woman which
haa taken yeara to acquire.
I am opposed to any further street
Improvement contracts until th con
tracts which hav been awarded hav
been completed, and there 1 a show
ing made that additional street
should be Improved for th better
ment of the city, and then only after '
the grades have been carefully eotstkv
II shed and accurate estimate aaad
as to the coat.
There ar at the present time ft
largo number of streets andergoiBg .
Improvements and at th same tins
there are thousand of dollars la war
rants Issued In payment for those Im
provements that the contractors and
laboring men are unable to sell at
the banks, or even convert Into cash
at a discount. '
During tho past year Molalla ave
nue, from the city limits to th feust
neas district In Oregon City, has boom
sadly neglected and at tho preoeat
time a large part of that highway Is
practically Impassable and ahould be
be immediately put In proper ooadl
tlon as two-thirds of the business traf
fic of thla city dependa upon that Im
portant highway.
I wish to call the legal voter at
tention to the fact that during th
(Continued on pea 4)
500 CLUB IS ENTERTAINED.
Herbert Martin Win First Prlzo and
. Guy Roddick Consolation.
Mr. and Mra. A. D. Vatcber enter
