OREGON CITY, OREGON, SATURDAY, APRIL 12, 1913
Per Week, Ten CEsrrt.
CITY IS SEEKING
$11,000 OVERDUE
CIVIL ACTIONS MAY BE BROUGHT
TOFORCE PAYMENT UPQN
IMPROVEMENT WORK
FINAL WARNINGS SENT ARE BY MAIL
Overdue Assessments Remaining Un
paid Will be Collected by Seiz
ure and Sale, Says W. M.
Stone
Oregon City will shortly be enrich
ed to the extent of $11,000 if thf
plans of City Attorney W. M. Stone
carry out as they are intended. Dur
ing the past several weeks Mr. Stone
has been compiling a list of delin
quent improvement assessments, and
finds that there is outstanding al
most $11,000 due on work completed.
This money should have been paid
into the city treasury months ago,
and the city attorney has now deter
mined to take legal steps to secure it.
Friday evening Mr. Stone mailed
out a sheaf of final notices to delin
quent property owners, warning tiem
that if the assessments now overdue
are not paid at once, action will be
taken to recover the amount. These
improvement assessments form a
lien against all property benefitted,
and the city attorney declares that
at the end of a week or so he ;rill
commence action against the delin
quents and order seizure and sale of
the property to pay the indebtedness.
Oregon City is at present doing a
great deal of improvement work, and
it is necessary for the successful
furtherance of betterments that out
standing moneys be collected. On
all original improvement work the
city pays one-third of the cost, and
the remainder is bonded against the
property for a term of ten years. At
present current expenses are heavy,
and the $11,000 now outstanding will
go far to better financial conditions
as far as ths city treasury is con
cerned. COAST BOAT LOST

MUDDY RIVER CLAIMS LlVtS
OF BOYS PLAYING ON SCOW
OAKVILLE, Or., April 11
(Special). Theral Wieberg, 13
years old, and his brother Earnest,
11 years old, were drowned here
afternoon in the waters of jMudd'
river.
The two lads were playing along
the shore of the stream and fi
nally found a small scow, in
which they ventured out into the
swift Current. Presumably the
scow struck a snag and was ov
erturned, for both lads vtere
thrown into the water.-
Children on the shore saw the
accident, but were too frightened
to be of any material assistance.
Neither of the boys could swim
well enough to combat the swift
current, and both were soon swept
unaer.

PAVING QUESTIO
N1ERESR MANY
SEVENTH STREET PROBLEM DIS
CUSSED BY CITIZtNS FROM
ALL POINTS OF VIEW
HARD SURFACE MAINLY FAVORED
Vitirified Brick Seems to Meet Ap
proval of Majority, Who Fear
Other Materials Will
Wear but Poorly
The report of Assistant City Engi
neer Yale, submitted to the council
last Wednesday evening, regarding
the suitability of different varieties
of paving for city streets, and paying
particular attention to highways
that include a steep grade, is being
very generally discussed by citizens
and local officials in connection wit'f
the division of opinion in regard to
the paving of Seventh street. While
the council has already ordered bids
and specifications" for hard surface
on this thoroughfare, subsequent dis
cussion of this order is expected to
bring out considerable opposition to
the plan.
Even friends of hard surface pav
ing for this street admit that smooth
surface asphalt is quite out of the
question, on account of the grade.
Aside from this public opinion seems
to be equally divided between the
use of vitrified brick, some form of
bitulitic paving, and the use of stone
blocks.
Seventh street is heavily traveled,
and while the grade is in no place
as heavy as grades in Portland and
some or the northern coast cities,
there is a general feeling here that .
bitulitic paving .will not be acceptable
to the greater number of property
owners.
