New Charter Amendment Makes Im
provements Possible and These
Will Be Carried Out.
That the pioneer town of Milwaukie,
lying on the south boundaries of Port
land, will make greater progress in
1910 than ever before Is the opinion of
its residents. The recent election has
made opportunity for general public
improvements, Including erection of
water works, sewer system and im
provement of streets. According to the
provision of the charter before it was
amended, indebtedness could not be in
curred beyond $10uu, which prohibited
general improvements.
The amendment adopted makes it
possible, by. vote of the people, to issue
bonds for any public improvements.
Property owners who want to improve
a street can do so and bond their prop
erty at 6 per cent. A number of the
Important streets are to be Improved
next year under the new charter
'amendment. A sewer system will be
devised and constructed in, 1910. There
are now 200 voters in Milwaukie, which
Is more than double what there were
when the town was Incorporated, six
years ago. The population is estimated
at nearly 1000. It is thought that a
general sewer system should be devised,
whaUier- t all ie built next yeax-ocaoU
at a cost of $S000.on the north side of
Milwaukie. .
It Is proposed to purchase ten lots
on the east side of the schoolhouse for a
playground. The proposition is gen
erally approved, and will likely be of
ficially approved , at a special meeting
of the taxpayers December 18." In view
of the rapid growth of the Milwaukie
school, this ground will soon be needed.
The district has an option on the
ETOund for $3500.
