IZafch Statements Are Heel a reel to
Have Been Made in Kffort to
Kill Proceedings for Greeley
Street Extension.
Tn thir efforts to get a sufficient
number of remonatrators to kill the
proceedings for the proposed extension
of Greeley street (Willamette boule
vard), from KilTinpsworth avenue
couth to Delay street, circulators of
the remonstrances are resorting to all
kinds of unfair methods, according to
officials in chargre for the city. The

R. G. McMuIlen. Assistant City Knjri-
neer, says lie was invited luszt week !
to a meeting of the Peninsula Advisory
Club and when he went out with a
et of city records to refute statements
of excessive assessments for the im
provement he was refused an oppor
tunity to talk before the meeting.
Ia a letter submitted to Commis
sioner JDieck, Mr. McMuIlen says all
kinds of rash statements were made
at the meeting and when he attempted
to give the facts he was refused an
opportunity by Robert Low, chairman
of the meeting.
AiwBmeBU Held Kxafffcerated.
It is said circulators of remon
strances have been going: about with
statements that the assessments would
average $200 a lot. Mr. McMuIlen says
the facta are that on some of the lots
where a $200 assessment is being pre
dicted the actual assessment will not
L more than $2 or $3.
In a letter issued yesterday. Mr. Mc
MuIlen explains the assessment propo
sition. He says:
In laying out the district, we used
what "you might term the zone system,
considering a cirect benefit, an Indirect
benefit and a tributary district. The dirvicl
benefit would be area which would be &&
sed the highest amount, the indirect, a
certain percentage less, and the tributary,
least of all.
The outiying lines of the tributary dis
trict, as near as we could determine, would
the smallest assessment within thxs dis-
possibly as low as $2 a Int. Inasmuch
costs probably or GO cents-to carry
through the city records, the
be
trict.
as
an account
first assessment, tabulation. collection,
transferring to bond lien dockets, etc., which
all takct time, an account of $J has to re
ceive the same amount of attention as an
account of $10,0oo. Should we have taken
in the entire territory of t. Johns, the
amount of money raised would hardly have
bven Justified.
Stockyard Are Exempt.
There is a territory Immediately north o
the Columbia .s;ugh road, winch is known
as the Industrial center, and the Union
Mockywds, which, of course, being in the
county, could not be assensed, but is evi
ontiy benefited as a tributary benefit to
tnis extension. ,
The lines as laid were carefully considered
as to benefits to be derived, inasmuch as
we mere controlled by charter provisions and
the laws governing these districts. There
fore, we considered the lines as laid as fair
to all concerned as they could possibly be
made; in fact, before the last election which
annexed t. Johns, a preliminary district
had been laid out which did not include the
territory of sit. Johns, but the ordinances
were held in abeyance until tit. Johns was
annexed.
The southerly line of the district border
ing on the railroad property and the water
front property did not include this property.
for the reason that it ri - rw.
benefit from fhlM irpninn na i-in. st
naturally presume, as all the tannage that
comes into this property naturally comes
over the railroad and is not hauled bv
trucks or wagons, as,. this road Is strictly a
commercial highway for all traffic and not
a scenic boulevard.
St. Johns Territory Excluded.
As to the district which will be assessed
for the construction, that is, th- grading.
jimwudiiinn ana a rair.age or this street
I am quite free to say that the territory of
.-t. joaci w :u oe entirely excluded, as the
benefits derived from the extension proceed
ings are not of the same character of Uio.e
received from construction, therefor a much
smaller district wJU be laid out for con
struction, probably about one-third of the
ar a that is Included in the extension d is-tn-t.
Therfor any greater amount than
possibly $4 to rt a lot in St. Johns will cot
be assir-ssfd.
It is not quite just to combine the two
proceedings in one. as the benefits derived
from one. are wholly different than th;
benefits derived from the other, as tne ac
quiring of a right of way gives an outlet
to a very Jarge territory, the construction
Is a direct materialistic benefit.
The points which I have endeavored to
explain are more clearlv seen hy looking at
the map of the extension district, inasmuch
as the publication in the abstract does not
ctve a rlear idea. Although the lines are
technically corrt there Is too much Wstl
f'T anvone to f.d.ow and picture mentally
the exact territory withfn th district.

A Sure Way to
End Dandruff
There is one sure way that has never
failed to remove dandruff at once, and
that is to dissolve It. then you destroy
it entirely. To do this. Just set about
four punces of plain, common liquid
arvon from any drug stor. (this la all
you will need), apply it at night when
retiring; use enough to moisten, the
scalp ar.d rub it in gently with the fin
ger tips.
By morning, most. If not all, of your
dandruff will be gone, and three or
four more ar .-lications will completely
dissolve and entirely destroy every sin
gle sign and trace of it. no matter how
much dandruff you may have.
You will find all itching alnd digging
of the acalp will stop instantly, and
your hair will be fluffy, lustrous, glos
ty, silky and soft, and look and feel
a hundred, tlreto better. Adv.

That the National dedication of the

Thin Folks Who
Want to Get Fat
Increase in Weight Ten Pounds or More
"I'd certainly Rive most anything to be
able to fat up a few poundH and stay that
waV." declares every excessively thin man
or woman, such a result is not impossible,
despite past failures. Most thin people are
victims of ma 1 -nutrition, a condition which
prevents the fatty elements of food from
belns taken up by the blood, as they are,
when the powers of nutritfon are normal.
Instead of trett ins into the blood, much of
the fat and flesh pronTucing elements stay
in tha Intestines until they pass from the
body as waste.
To correct this condition and to produro
a healthy, normal, amount of fat. the nutri
tive processes must be artificially supplied
with the power which nature has denied
them. This can -probably best be accom
plished by eatlngr a Sargol tablet with every
meal. Sargol is a .careful combination of
six splendid assimilative agents. Taken
with meals they mix with the. food to turn
the sugars and starches of what you have
eaten into rich, ripe nourishment for the
tissues ii nd blood and its rapid effect has
been in many cases reported remarkable.
Reported gain of from 10 to 25 pounds in
a single month are by no means infre
quent. Tet its action Is perfectly natural
and absolutely harmless. Sargol is sold by
all druggists everywhere and every package
contains a guarantee of weight increase or
money back.
NOTE: Sargol is recommended only as a
flesh-builder, and while1 excellent results in
cases of nervous indigestion, etc., have been
reported, care should be taken about using
It unless a gain of weight is desired. Adv.
