PLEA FOR A
CITY BEAUTIFUL
A plea for a city beautiful of
Marshfield and harmony in civic pro
gress was made by Otto A. Welle,
former city engineer of Spokane,
Wash., in a heart to heart talk with
the city council a score or so of prop-
prtv owners in attendance at the
council meetine Tuesday night. Mr.
"Weile told of his impressions of
Marshfield since he came here a few
days ago to do some work for the
waterworks company, scolded the
citizens for not taking the advantage
of their opportunity and outlined to
them how other cities were improv
ing. Mr. "Weile, who has a wide
reputation as a municipal engineer,
found a responsive chord in the au
dience who listened intently as he
talked and applauded loudly when he
concluded. Mayor Straw, T. J. Hall
and several others thanked him
profusely for the ideas he had given
them.
"The Lord has provided you with
a wonderful opportunity to build a
beautiful city and keep f.t beautiful
If you will only do a comparatively
little work," said Mr. Weile. "The
chance you have is remarkable. We
thought we had a fine townsite at
Spokane but It didn't compare to
Coos Bay. I don't know of any
place whose natural contour com
pares with Coos Bay. It Is wonder
ful. Improve the Streets.
"I think it is certain that you will
have a large city here some day, but
you won't have it soon unless you
Improve your streets and get started
in the right direction. Make your
streets and public improvements
good and people will be attracted
here wealthy people whose money
will help you In the work. Leave
your streets mud holes, your side
walks dangerous to walk on and no
touch of the beautiful anywhere and
people won't remain if they do come.
The Lord has done a lot for you,
more than you probably appreciate.
Almost every kind of flowers and
trees will grow here with the least
bit of attention while in Spokane and
other places It costs hundreds of dol
lars to raise a few roses that could
be had in Marshfield almost without
effort.
"Everybody should get together
and unite In a campaign for civic
Improvement. First, fix up your
streets. You want people to come
here and to remain. The first things
they notice are the streets and side
walks. If they are bad, they imme
diately form a bad opinion of the
city and its citizens. Next, sewers
are essential because of sanitation.
"In Spokane we have a 150,000
committee and a "city beautiful"
committee. In the latter, wo have en
listed everyone, men, women and
school children. You should do the
same thing here. The children can
and do help a lot. Wo have 'Clean
up days' twice a year and the school
children see that the city Is cleaned
up.
"As to street-paving, asphalt and
like materials are probably best.
Then comes brick, then the stono
pavements and last the various kinds
of wood paving. The first requisite
of good paving is to get a good foun
dation of concrete. The sand
stone you are using here will
not niako a good foundation
but I think you can find lots
of gravel and other kinds of stone
nearby that will. Investigate and
get them. The stone you are now
using won't niako good paving be
cause it Is too soft and will turn into
mud.
"With all your lumber around
here, I think thnt the wood paying
would probably prove the beet for
you. Plank paving is only tempor
ary but In some places, on account
of Its cheapness, it can be put in to
advantage. Experiment with wood
block-paving and see if you can't get
some kind that is satisfactory. If
you can, it will bo a good thing be
cause It will mean another Industry
for you and the keeping of the mon
ey for material at home.
Don't Make Streets Level.
"Don't try to make your streets
here level. It would be a mistake.
Streets should have even as great as
five per cent grade to shed the water.
Don't lay out your streets and blocks
rectangular regardless of the na
tural contour of the country. The
city will be better off and be more
sightly if the streets are occasionally
winding in conformity with the na
tural lay of the valleys and hills.
"Don't waste your money by pav
ing great, wide streets. In residence
sections twenty-four to twenty-six
feet Is sufficiently wide for the pav
ing. Park the remainder of the
street on both sides. Plant a few
trees, shrubs or flowers in the park
ing and make the thoroughfares
beautiful.
"Where property values don't war
rant paving, build a good dirt street
by making it narrow and rounding it
up In the center a foot or eighteen
inches so that it will shed the water,
Good streets can be maintained this
way until permanent paving can be
put in.
Praises City Engineer.
"Another thing that I want to say
In this connection is to exercise a
care that you don't snow your city
engineer under with work. Don't
knock him and find fault with him
all the time. Marshfield has a lot of
hard engineering to do. Provide means
for the city engineer to call in ex
perts for consultation of some of
these iobs where you propose to
spend many thousands of dollars
No one man knows all of these
things so well that he may not make
a mistake. I know your Mr. Sand
berg well and also know that he Is
giving you good service. Boost him
a little. Everyone likes encourage
ment.
"Don't get the idea that per
manent grades can be established in
Marshfield now. It can't be done.
If the city grows, as it undoubtedly
will, It will be necessary to change
street grades. They have had to
change the grades of streets In Spo
kane and Seattle and other large
cities two or three times. Xo one
can see far enough ahead to anti
cipate what will happen and what
will be necessary. Go ahead and do
things as near right as possible and
everything will shape itself up right
eventually.
Spokane Experience.
"In Spokane, we originally met
with opposition from property own
ers when we tried to pave or Improve
streets. At first we had to do the
work despite their almost united
protests. We put In good paving and
it was only a short time until the
property owners saw that it was to
their own advantage to have the
streets improved because the values
of lots on paved streets increased
much more rapidly than on the
streets that were not paved.
"We divide the payment for pub
lic improvements into five or ten
payments. If the cost to a lot 's
less than $200, the owner is given
the option of paying at five years. If
he wants to pay it all, or most of It
at once he can. If he takes the five
years time, he pays seven per cent
interest on it and pays a portion of
it each year. Ten years is given on
payments of more than ?200 under
similar regulations."

sufficient. It never fails and can be

A Sanikary Meat Market
That, Is Sanitary
TO THE PUBLIC:
We have just added another Important improvement and
addition to the Sanitary Meat Market in order to render better
service to the people of Coos Bay. This time it Is a large meat
refrigerator, the only one of the kind in Coos county. It Is
large enough to hold twelve beeves with an additional compart
ment for the retail department. When completed It will also
have a large apartment for ammonia tanks to manufacture our
own Ice and refrigeration. This will preserve all our meat at a
cool uniform temperature, free from dust, dirt and any and all
forms of contamination. Clean sweet, tender and Juicy will be
the condition of every bit of beef, pork, mutton, poultry that
goes out of this market. This refrigerator made by S. Berken
wald, of Wilwaukee, Wisconsin, Is one of the most modern and
best equipped that Is manufactured In the United States and
equal to any found in Portland or any large city in the country.
We expect to have the first section of this refrigerator com
pleted tomorrow and the public Is cordially Invited to call and
Inspect it and see what a-model, modern meat market we are
making. You will be welcome to see and Inspect this without
making any purchases. We want you to see that Coos Bay Is
up-to-date entitled to the best there Is and that Is what we are
giving you . We already have the McCaskey system of accounts
and the automatic computing scales so that the business depart
ment Is keeping step with our sanitary service In the meat line.
Don't forget to drop In either Friday or Saturday and see
this refrigerator. We have nearly two and a half tons of Ice
In the box so that It Is pretty cool but we will give you a warm
welcome.
