I the booklet left with the executive
committee.
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,

A game between the Salem high
quintet an dthe ILneoln high school
team of Portland will decide the state
interscholastlc basketball champion
ship. The contest is called for 2:30
this afternoon in the armory.
In the drawing last night between!
the coaches of the three undefeated
teams. Albany. Lincoln and Salem.
Coach Schlott of Salem drew a blank.
This left Albany and Lincoln lo bat
tle for the final game.
Three games of the tournament
were played in the armory yesterday
afternoon. Lincoln players defeated
the Ashland team in the first game
of the afternoon with a score of 18
and 36. Albany high school won
from the Forest Grove team. The
score was 3S to 26. The La Grande I
basketball team lost to
the Salem
high Bchool loop toosers in a hard
fought game. The final score was
35 to 23. The results of these games
eliminated La Grande, orct -rove
and Ashland. The flnalchampion-
hip rested between Salem, Albany
and Lincoln.
By the drawing Lincoln was nam
ed to play Albany and Salem to play
the winner for the championship. Lin
coin won from Albany with a score
of 50 to 11. 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.

Two Fire Alarms Answered
Early Yesterday Morning
Within ten minutes two alarms
were turned In to tiie rlty fire de
partment yetrday morning be
tween 7:15 and 7:ii o'clock. 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

was about tZ.
