In the discussion of the paving Question one speaker stated that residents along the stretch of road from the Fairgrounds store to tne Southern Pacific railroad would pay two-thirds of the cost of the county and the state would pay the remain ing one-third. Some oposition was voiced to the proposed pavement of Highland avenue by assessment against adjacent property on grounds that most of the travel is through traffic coming in from tne main roads. General sentiment, however, appeared to favor the im provement. The resolutions adopted follow: "Whereas, the estimates of the citv street commissioner Indicate that the city of Salem is expending over $700 per mile in a vain effort to keep in repair the macadamized parts of the main heavy traffic ar teries such as the Pacific highway, within the city limits, and the un paved parts of Front street. Capitol street and Hlgland avenue, and "Whereas, the heavy and increase ing traffic on these main arteries, due to the paving of state and coon-, ty highways to the north, destroys th macadam surface as fast as it can be repaired, and this high cost of maintenance is wasted so far. as permanent and satisfactory results are concerned, and "Whereas, the 200 to 300 ma chines a day using these rough ma cadam traffic links in effect pay a toll of at least one cent per mile for increased depreciation wear and tear, lost time, gas and tire expense, when traveling on poor macadam as compared with the same costs, when driving on smooth pavement, and for the low estimate of 200 machines a day, the extra cost of macadam to the driving public amounts to over $700 per year per mile, and "Whereas, either the $700 per mile furnished by Salem taxpayers, or the $700 and more per year add ed expense to the driving public will pay interest at 5 per cent and in due time retire the principal one-third of the Issue of bonds necessary to pave these streets, allowing $25, 000 per mile for that purpose", and "Whereas -the session laws or 1919. foreseeing such contingencies. in chapters 70 and 340, give ample authority both to the city council and the county court to cooperate with the owners of adjacent proper ty to secure the paving of important i traffic links connecting with the state and county paved roads, wiiere the Interest and profit of such im provement to the general public is much greater than to the adjacent property owners, "Therefore, be It resolved by the North Salem Improvement associa tion, that the city council and the county court be requested to, give most careful attention to the' pos sibility of remedying these . condi tions by mutual cooperation with the adjacent property owners, and "Be it further resolved, that the heavy taxpayers and all civic or ganizations. Interested in the sound economic and creditable develop ment of thy city, be asked to Inves tigate the possibility of preventing the absolute waste of city street funds on temporary betterments, where permanent and far more de sirable Improvements could be se cured at the same cost by a more flexible policy of cooperation with owners of adjacent property. -Below, are the names of members girl of reasonable age is Oregon. ieJ-ais J""" V ! - , - - 111 of the committee appointed on the North Salem Floral exchange: Wrs.

In the next to the final game played in the armory last night From the blowing of the first whis tle Lincoln had the lead. The Port land team had tossed eight baskets before the Albany players scored. In the last halt an attempted rally was made by Albany. It was to no avail as the superior teamwork of the Lincoln players was remarkable. Coleman, captain of the Portland team, was the star of the evening. His coolness and floor work preci sion was the cause of the Portland 1 victory. A heavy drawback to the winning team .was the absence of Wright, playing center on the tem. Illness made it impossible for him to play. The tournament wlhch was origi nated by Willamette university and under the personal direction of Coach Matthews is nesting a success ful finish.

The first alarm was from the Homer Fos ter residence. 1S2 South Thirteenth street. A defective chimney In the Red CroHs drug store was the cause of the second alarm. The chemical truck answered the first alarm and a few minutes were lost In finding the blase, as the per son turning In the alarm gave an In correct address. Sparks from a nearby flue are supposed to have been the cause. The blaxe was soon extinguished by the firemen. A small hole was burned In the roof. The damage was light. The fire in the drug store was an swered by the remaining engine and crew. A newly installed flue lead studio was supposedly the cause of the rire taere. The exposed wood work near the flue had caught and the smoke from the impending blase had attracted attention. This was consiaered fortunate as the uppr floors were unoccupied at the time. The riremen soon gained control or the riames. The estimated damage was about tZ.
