rVThat a Man Said About it- The
Plan
of the Directors School Bonds.
, f '-- ; K-;Oi:".';'i'-V-'
The bond election occurs Mon
day. The plan of the school board
is to be given authority to issue
$8,ooo school bonds, No payment
vnother than interest is to be made
on the bonds for 10 years. At
the end of that period, one bond of
$1,000 is to be paid off each year
pntil. all are. paid, That makes the
' '4wi.nr.1e who are then resident of the
i;ctripf and p-eitine- the benefit of
the improvements now to be made,
assist in the payment of the prin
cipalofthe debt to be incurred.
At the present rate of growth,
-here, will be a great many more
tffTWIlll tf I uriii LUttU fcu.. w - - ' "
help pay on tne douus as mcy w
itn vear bv vean The last bond
-will not have to be aid tlhtil 18
-years after the bonds are issued.
The directors have assurance that
;the bonds can be floated on a basis
of four per cent interest.
'-. The district now has $ 8,000 in
"bonds outstanding, They ' bear
five per cent interest. One $1,000
bond has to be paid each year.: , In
- the plan of the directors, it is hoped
to have money enough left after
.making necessary improvements, to
redeem some of the . present out
standing bonds, thereby reducing
"the interest rate on a portion of the
-present debt from five to four, per
cent.- . -;, ,'." ' -
- The reason the v school board
:wants authority to issue, bonds, is
-to get money to make more room
;for pupils at the public school in
; Corvallis. There is not accommo-
dation enough in the school ' build
; ing for the pupils that are already
in attendance. One ordinary room
-had to be partitioned last year to
make room for. two grades. If was
originally intended for but one, and
the consequence was that the par--Jtitioning
made bad lights an over
crowding, foul air and sick pupils.
In addition, the - primary grade was
conducted in tho old .Evangelical
church building, wholly ' unsuited
"for the purpose. The playground
'of the little children was on the
sidewalk or in the " muddy street.
"Bad arrangements for .ventilation
kept .'the little pupils and their
teacher with colds half the winter.
"If all escaped the seeds of con
' sumption, it is fortunate.
' Even with these1 added facilities,
.all thevooms in the school build --ing
were overcrowded the; past year.
Some teachers had as high as sixty
pupils, No teacher can properly
accommodate more than 40.1n such
'crowds, some of the pupils are nec
ressarily neglected. A start in bad
- scholarship is made for them, that
! perhaps follows them through life
Maybe it ultimately ruins. So, for
" these and other reasons, the direct
- ors want to add two or three or
'four more rooms to the facilities for
"teaching school children in Corval
lis. The natural growth of the
town makes it : certain that - things
r will be so crowded next year that
besides the old - church, still an
' other ontsrde room will have to be
I provided to house: the children.
" i Jklay be it would have to.be.; an ' old
.unoccupied ' warehouse. ; "Mon
c days' election -will .show . whether
.'the parents in town , s want , their
, children as elleeared for, as they
do their horses.'.' , -, This is what a
1 man said yes cerday. , ; ,: ......

LATERAL SEWERS.
Six are Under Consideration by the
( Council Their' Location.
Two additional lateral sewers
were ordered at ' a special meeting
of the city council Monday evening.
One is a two block affair running
through the Ingle, Moore and
Jacobs blocks, between1 third and
fourth street to a connection with
the Van Buren street main. '. Some
time ago the council granted the
property holders in the two blocks
permission to build the laterals un
der, city supervision J "They se
LUlU BUiVVJf J VA . WiUUj ; fcsufc.
beiore a contract could be. made
cured surveys, called lor Dids, out
6he property owner backed out of
the program . and the matter bad
to be dropped.' The property ow
ners then petitioned the council to
take the matter up, and that body
has ordered the sewer constructed.
Another lateral ordered, js
through two bleeps, beginning at
J.'E'.-ratmef's and funning north,
through the A, C. White and other
lots Id a connection with the J ffer-
1 S6n street main at Mrs. P. O. Wil
I son's. Another sewer under con
sideration but not ordered is through
two blocks between eight and ninth
streets from the south to a connec
tion with the Jefferson main. The
blocks are those in which are '.lo
cated the residences of E. W. Pratt
and S. L. Hays. - A petition 1 repre
senting about one-half the lots in
two blocks has been , filed. The
matter has been referred to the
sewer committee with power to act.
Another lateral under - consider
ation is one through the postoffica
block to the . Jefferson street main.
The proposal is to tap the old brick
sewer and conduct its sewage at
the alley back of the Occidental
hotel into the Jefferson main, and
abandon the river end of the s old
sewer from the Occidental alley to
the Willamette. J The sewer com
mittee is figuring on the question
of whether the proposed change or
repairs to abate the nuisance at the
delivery end of the old brick sewer,
would be the cheaper. Ordinances
for all the new laterals are to come
up for passage ' at an adjourned
meeting of the city council to be
held next Monday night.

DESTRUCTION BY FLAME
A Loss of $1,600 Is Sustained by Fire
in. Business Portion of Corvallis.
V - C. W.' Lederle is out of the res
taurant business, for . the present.
Mack Hemphill is unable to accom
modate the lodgers ' who occupied
rooms ip the upper story "of his
building on Second ' and" Jefferson
streets,? - and J; M.? Cameron has
now but one"; harness Bhop. . The
chaBges were brought about -Friday
morning by a rather destruc
tive fire originating in the kitchen
of the City restaurant. fc Thejstate
ment of Mr. Lederle respecting the
origin of the fire is that he- arose a
few minutes after 4- o'clock- and
started a fiie id his kitchen stove.
He then relumed to bed, and hav
ing dozed for perhaps ten minutes,
awoke and discovered . .that ithe
kitchen was aflame, He gave the
alarm and turned to awaken Mack
Hemphill who, - with ' his family,
slept in near-by apartments. As
soon as possible Mr. Hemphill ran
to thenre bell and raDg it witn sucn
vigar that the populace responded
without delay. By the time the
deoartment was ready to combat
the flames the fire had gained much
headway. A large portion of the
restaurant was enveloped, and the
flames were steadily eating their
way to the interior of the two sto
ry frame building on the south.
In a short time- there' were three
streams playing upon the tire, one
from the bank corner, one from
Sheasgreen corner and the third
from the Congregatioual church
hydrant. All maintained a reason
ably strong force and the fire was
eoon under control. . . ...
A small portion of the restaurant
fixtures waa saved,' ' Mr ; Lederle
carried insurance to the amount of
$500 which will cover his loss. The
contents of Cameron's harness shop
was almost entirely removed, and
on these the loss will not exceed
$5o, with no insurance. Mr Hem
phills household goods were remov
ed from his living apartments on a
lower floor situated to the rear and
somewhat apart fiom the two-story
building. The upstairs of the latter
is occupied bv various parties as a
lodging. Only a small portion of
the furniture overhead eseaped dam
age either by lire or water.
Mrs Mary A Hemphill is the
owner of the restaurant building,
and the loss will approximate $600
with no insurance. ..- Other build
ings partially burned, and the lodg
ing bouse furniture are the proper-,
ty of Mack Hemphill, who did not
csrry insurance. His loss will be
about g5oo. '..:' v-y.--, ' ,
