"We can have one less man on our fire department than we had last year, we might cut off another man from the police department, and we might let our streetH go with less cleaning than they are receiving now; but I doubt whether any of us would be willing to resort to such practices for the lowering In taxes which could be effected."

HEALTH BOARD INSISTS UPON SEPTIC IK Unless Pendleton Complies With State Law Regarding Sewage Injunction Coming. DR. M'NARY GIVES FRANK ADVICE TO TAXPAYERS State Officials Have Given Due Warning and Are Now Impatient Over Delays. Failure on the purt of the taxpayers of Pendleton to authorize construction ' of a septic plant at tho coming election on November 21 to take care of the sewage of the city will Undoubtedly result in action being taken by the state board of health to secure an in junction against the city to restrain It from dumping wasto Into the Umatilla river. This statement was made last li ght by Dr. W. D. McNary, superin tendent of the Eastern Oregon .Hos pital for the Insane and vice president of tho city planning commission, In a, speech which he niado before about 99 men who met In the courtroom on lit- vltatlon of members of the X Club. ' That he personally hud done even-- thing In his power to stall off such ac tion by the state during the past 10 years waa a statement of Dr. McNary, who Is a member ot tho stato board of health. He declurcd that the board has remonstrated time after time against the Illegal .method of the mil. nk'lpallty ot diiipbslng of Ha sewage and that he had used his influence to defer nny action by the board on (lie promise that the municipality would take ac tion to Improve conditions "within the coming year," (That the patience of. the board.

Puts l p IsMie. Replying to criticisms of previous speukers who had declared that a bond Issue of $125,000 waa excessive for purchase of a Bite and for tho con struction thereon of a septic plant, Dr. McNary declared that the whole Issue could.be put Into one proposition: Ihe question Is whether you are willing to trusit your mayor and coun cil, your reprosentntlves in tho man agen nt of municipal business, with J2o.0iio nioro than they may need to carry this project through to comple tion," he declared, a truce of surcasm being discernible In his tones. "It In always saTo to assume that an engi neer's or an architect's estimate will run from 25 to 50 per cent lower than tho uctual cost. Will you trust your council with enough above the Initial estlmato so they may bo ablo to fin ish the plant If, as is to bo expected, the estimate proves so low that thn completion will be Impossible If the bond Issue Is cut lower than it Is now?'
