THE COOS BAY TIMES, MARSHFIELD, OREGON, THURSDAY, JANUARY 16, 19 14 EVENING EDITION.
SSshSSSi
MAYOR SIMPSON OF NORTH
BEND OUTLINES POLICY
Pony Inlot. would recommend Mint
tho sidewalks on lioth sides of Vir
ginia street bo 14 feet In width. I
wond also recnm.tn ml thnt na soon ns
Shorldnn nvonuo Is graded and the
fills hnvo had a siifflclont tlmo In
which to settle, thnt this street be
hard surfaced from tho north lino of
Washington street to tho north end of
tho street, and that the sldewnlks on
onch sldo of the street be 1 1 feet In
width.
Ktm't to Marshlleld.
In the nnmml message of tho Mayor
of Marshfiold to tho City Council of
that city, he recommended tho open
ing of olio of soveral streets from
Commercial avenue through I'crhnm
Park to Fcrndnle. As the continua
tion of Sherman avenue south toward
Marshflold connects with Eleventh
street in Marshlleld. I would recom
mend that a committee bo appointed
to Intercede with the Marshlleld City
Council to decide upon the opening
of Klevonth street. I would further
recommend thnt ns soon ns tho en
tanglements In tho Kinney properties
are adjusted, that stops ho taken by
tho City Council of North Hend to
Interest tho City Council of Marsh
field In opening up Shcrmnn avenue
in North Ilcnd and Eleventh street
North In Mnrshllcld. if this can be
dono, It will provide practically a
north and south Btreet from Com
mercial street in Mnrshllcld to the
husluosB center of North Ilond, and
would bo practically a continuation
of Sherman nvcntio from North Hend
to tho Junction of Klevonth street
and Commercial street In tho City of
Marshllold. I am informed by engi
neers that a good grndo can bo pro
cured over tho entire length of this
street.
1'or Clly Hull.
It is very ovldont to tho momborp
of tho City Council that the present
city hnll is iiolthor a credit to tho
city In appearance or up to tho stand
ard of necessity. Tho tlmo hns come
when tho city must hnvo n suitable
building for tho enro of tho firc
flghtlug apparatus, and one In which
enn bo constructed a fire-proof vault
for tho caro and snfo keeping of Its
records, plats, profiles, plans, specifi
cations, etc., one In which suitable
offices can bo provided for tho city
engineer, recorder nnd police depart
ment, and one In which cnu ho cou
nlrueted a suitable Jail. At tho time
of tho IsHtianco of bonds against the
city of North Ilond, Impartial men
npprnlsed tho property of tho city of
North Hend iih being worth ?1 a.r.OO.
which property comprises tho follow
ing: Lot C in mock 20, upon which
now stands tho present city ball, tho
north 20 feet of Lot fi. lots 0, 7, 20,
21, 22 and 2:i In Ulock IS, which tire
now used ns an approach from Sher
man nvonuo to tho waterfront road
' way leading to tho Old Town mill.
With tho rogrndlng of Sl.orinnn nvo
iiiio nnd Florida nvonuo this approach
will not bo necessary, and as the
prosont city hall Is not ndequnto to
tho needs of tho city, I would recom
mend thnt if It bo pnsBihlo the above
roforred to property bo sold by the
city of North Hend at tho appraised
vnluntlnnB, or nt ns much greater
flguro ns can be ohtuiuod, uud that
this sum, which should not In any
ease, bo loss than $111,500, bo used ns
tho nucleus of a fund for tho con
struction of n prcBontnblo city hnll
which will moot tho presont require
ments of tho city. I would suggest
thnt this building bo built with the
mnln body of tho building In tho cen
ter, allowing a inter construction nnd
nddltlnn of two wings, ono on tho
north nnd ono on the south of tlio
central building. Those two wings
will hike enro of the addltlonnl needs
of tho city In tho yenrs to come. 1
would recommend thnt this now city
hnll bo locnted and constructed In
prepared n map or plat, showing my
recommendations In regard to tho
Improvement of this strip of land. I
would recommend that the present
( city whnrf bo nnrrowed up to CO feet
, in width, nnd thnt Instead of this be
ing tho city wtinrf It bo used for street
purposes. I would recommend thnt
Washington, Virginia and California
tjinrifcf lt ntftniiiliiil 1rt nnn, i n .l.n '
proposed now harbor lino and that
duo east of tho CO foot street just
suggested, tlors of lots bo platted be
tween Washington and Virginia, and
Virglnln nnd California, each lot with
a GO foo frontage, 8.1.8 foot In depth,
nnd that adjoining and due east of
these lots i street 80 feet In width bo
constructed, and thnt adjoining nnd
duo cast of th's street a city 'wharf
bo constructed 80 feet in width. 1080
feet long, from tho south line of
Washington street to tho north lino
of California Btreet. I would also
recommend thnt reservation bo mndo
on tins wnarf for two warehouses,
each CO feet wide and 400 feet long,
11"- east lino of tho wnrohouso to bo
20 feet west of tho proposed now
hnrbor lino, or fnco of the proposed
dock. I would also recommend that
tho first warohouse, 00x400 foot, be
tween Virginia and California streets,
bo constructed t onco. It will bo
seen from the plat that such an ar
rangement of tho city's property will
create 1C lots 00x83.8, and I would
recommend thnt theso lots ho Im
mediately placed upon tho mnrkct nt
nn nverngo soiling price of $2500
onch. From the snlo of Uicbo lots
tho city would rcnllzo $10,000, and I
would recommend thnt this money
bo expended by tho city In tho con
struction of tho whnrf and wnrohouso
as shown on tho plat nnd In extending
Washington, Virginia nnd Cnllfornln
3treot from the front of tho .esont
dock to tho proposed now hnrbor lino
or fnco of tho proposed now dock. If
elthor I or tho Simpson Lumber com
pany hnvo nny title or clnlm in nnd
to this property, wo will cheorfully
qultclnlm tho sanio to tho city. Such
nn improvement of tho city front
vould plnco tho city entirely In con
trol of nil tho revenues received from
ho same, which would Includo 20
ponts por ton for nil freight
Council socuro ri aultablo dumping
ground for garbago and wnsto of nil
kinds, and thnt nn ordinance bo
passed remilrlng nil garbage, refuso
and waste to bo deposited on this
dumping ground, and that this dump
ing ground bo locnted far enough
nwny from tho city so as to keop
It from becoming a nuisance.
Flro Protection.
I would recommend thnt tho city
furnish the volunteer flro depart
ment with ns much necessary appar
atus as possible, and ns Is required
by thnt department for tho proper
protection of property from loss by
flro. I will nlso recommend thnt
fire limits bo established with proper
building restrictions within theso
limits, and that nn electricnl wiring
ordlnnnco bo passed Immediately re
quiring nil olectrlcnl wiring to ho
instnlled In nccordnnco with tho un
derwriters' rules nnd Bpcclflcntlons.
I would nlso recommend that a build
ing Inspector bo appointed who shnll
also net ns wiring Inspector, nnd
thnt his salnry bo proportioned nc
cordlng to tho nmount of work re
quired of him.
In order to safeguard tho public
health, I would recommend thnt a
plumbing ordinance bo passed nnd
thnt a plumbing inspector bo ap
pointed. I see no renson why ono
liinn rnnnot occupy tho position of
building, wiring and plumbing in
sector. I would suggest thnt the Council
seo thnt nil of tho improved streets
hnvo sidewalks properly laid.
I would recomniond that w sot of
rules and regulations for tho gov
erning of tho police department bo
Immediately prepared, and that the
pollco force of tho city bo forced to
llvo up to tho same.
I would recommend thnt no nddi
tlonnl licenses for snloons bo grnnt
od for tho presont, nnd thnt tho li
censes for tho snmo remnln nt tho
present figure, $800 por yenr.
Clty'H Finance.
Hy referring to tho nnnunl stnto
ment of tho Recorder of tho city
of North Hend for tho yenr 1013.
it will bo scon thnt tho total expen
diture of tho city for tho yenr
amounted to $20,180.85. Tho two
largest Items of this expenditure
woro tho following: Btreet Improve
ments, $7340.15; sewors, $5805. 22;
or n total of $13,211.37. Theso
two Items woro emergency expendi
