THE EIGHT AMENDMENTS ! ... -K There are eight proposed amendments to the Salem city charter, to be voted on at the election of next Tuesday. They are as follows: To remove three years residence qualification to hold office. , To allow council to' assess sidewalk costs to abutting property. r",''rr.' For mill tax for fire fighting apparatus. . triHt 2;mfll tax for repairing bridges, streets, alleys, etc. jiiFor $40)00bonds"for incinerator. '. f Tor $500,000 bonds for sanitary and drainage system. i t " , f :- i For $350,000 bonds for construction and reconstruction of permanent bridges. ', For vofing Kay's addition into city limits. -:i The first amendment should of course pass. If we are to have an efficient city administration, with experts in charge of the various departments, we must remove the three year residence disability- And of course the second one should pass. The city coun cil should have this authority, and it should be expressed in words about which there can be no dispute as to their mean ing. That is what this proposed amendment undertakes to do- . - ' , And the third, too, ought to be adopted. We need more and better fire fighting apparatus, distributed more evenly I over the city. Salem is growing and will keep on growing. The 2 mill tax for repairing bridges, streets, alleys, etc., is a measure that is needed for the same reason. The $40,000 bond issue for an incinerator ought to have every one's vote. That is the only way io get rid of the dump. It cannot be removed. And it is a growing menace I We will have to provide the $500,000 for a sanitary and drainage system; to take care of the city's sewage without fc emptying it into the Willamette river. We will not be allowed to do this for long; A disposition system "can be made self supporting, under scientific handling. . "Th'e $350,000 for new bridges is needed ; -:-i ,:!And.'the. Kay addition ought to- be voted Into the city, More territory ought to be voted in- -' " Tor we are to have a census in 1930, and we will get credit only -for lyhat; population we have within the city limits. - We have what is termed by the census men a'metro- , politani district" that contains .now about 30,000 people, in i; eluding territory to the north; south and east that really $ belongs' to the city, and including West Salem, which we should also find a way to include. ; But we need alsoj to carry oufthe ambitious program out lined, a commission (corporation) form of city government with.trained men and experts in charge of the various depart ments, under a mayor (like a corporation president) to direct them, and a city 'council to confirm appointments and pass ordinances. l- A this we need, and we need it all together. And still morel "We need municipal ownership of the city water works. andl finally, a gravity system furnishing both mountain water . ahdjpower for our industries. 4 SISKIYOU SLAYERS, . - - -I - rDRESS IM" AT PEN i i k A t i mam.' and engineer j,TCEiTos the train ; The tnnnel. was; liUl - of smokev' Thy aw ' mart romfng with a fuse. Ray fired at him with a shotgun and he fell. ' Shot Through Shoufclr "We did not shoot him in the back a the doctor said. de clared Hugh. "The bullet, with him staggering, went up through bis shoulder." ; Hugh said he forced the' engin eer to get back Into the cab to draw the train from the smoky tnnnel and when the -engineer "fooled around" and failed to start the engine Hugh-got mad and shot him. "Then Roy shot the fireman," laid Hugh. - The brothers then ran back Intq. the woods where they had a secret cache. Ray lefr the two brothers there, but returned later when he discovered they; were be ing sought in connection with the rime. " ' , In their flight toward the coast an airplane searching for them passed close, to them while they hid beneath a.' tree. Hungry. they came near gifing up. but' continued their flight until they reached a logging camp, near Hilt. Cal., where. Hugh stole some beef. . . . ; '.. Roy foraged some biscuits and other food. , They then, went to Horn brook, passing many special agents. They reached the Klam ath rirer, where Roy speared some salmon. i It was there that they , parted. deciding to meet on New Tear's day at Santa Ana, -Texas. Hugh took the name of James C. Price: Ray that of William El lliott. and Roy was to be known as Ed. Anderson: Hugh went to Los Angeles and to Long Beach, then to Mexico. He saw the pictures of the broth ers, and went back to Mexican. Then he went to El Paso and later to Arkansas. He kept his tryst at Santa Ana but found ? no ' mail there for him or his . brothers. Then he went to Missouri' and fin ally to Chicago where he Joined the army, later going to the Phil ippines where he s captured. Belleres Roy Innocent IRONTON. Ohio. June 23.
