FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 30, 1917
Deschutes at tha foot of Boulevard
The Shovlln-llixon Lumber Co. will
log that territory off this winter
which will cause the snow to melt
rapidly and unless something is done
to take, raro of the water upper New
port will bo a drainage ennui instead
of a street. Another b'g Bhnre of the
improvements will be on the first
block west of 'the bridge. The fill
as fur as it has gone, Is all right, but
It has left the street in an almost Inv
passable condition. In fact the whole
street as lit now stands would be
disgrace to a backwoods district in
Arkansas. As It will be next to Im
possible to get enough money from
the general fund to do very much
good, I think that we should be a!
lowed to take advantage of the Han
croft Act, and vote of the property
owners will tell whether we want to
pay for the Improvements or not.

NEWPORT AVENUE.
In saying what we did recently
concerning the need of care in the
use of the Bancroft bonding act as
a means of providing funds tor local
improvements, we did not have any
pending or proposed project in mind.
The situation created in Portland by
the indiscriminate use of the Ban
croft bonding law was receiving con
siderable publicity and there seemed
to be a lesson therein for any com
munity in which the act might be
used. Some of our readers have as
sumed that the general propositions
which we discussed had a particular
bearing on the present plan to im
prove Newport avenue, and Mr. Horn
has come forward as a spokesman for
the Newport avenue plan.
Mr. Horn's letter, printed in this
paper, In a way answers itself. While
arguing for the particular need of the
Newport avenue improvement the let
ter assents to the general proposition
that there are cases In which we
should be careful in the use of Ban
croft bonding for improvements. In
asmuch as that was our only propo
sition we are clearly In agreement
with Mr. Horn on the general sub
ject and we are glad to Join him on
the particular Newport's need for
improvement.
The avenue is one of the main thor
oughfares of the city, having become j dies' Outfitters.

heavy traffic which it bears, coupled

COMMUNICATION.
Editor Bulletin:
Sir. In your editorials of Novem
ber 23 and 24 issues, your comments
on the workings of the Bancroft Act
in Portland were very appropriate, as
far as bonding uninhabited additions
for expensive street Improvements
that are of no use to anyone except
their speculative owners, but I fail to
see where the disadvantages of the
act need be applied to Bend, and New
port avenue in particular. There
were- more houses built tributary to
Newport avenue in the last year than
there were In all the rest of Bend
put together. The tonnage hauled on
that street is greater than all the
other streets running Into Bend and
nearly all of ft Is Bend pay roll.
Quite a share of the cost of the
proposed improvements will go to
ward taking care of the water that
runs down Tin Can alley and the ra
vine south of the brickyard. These
ravines come together at the head of
Newport. The water follows the street
over half a mile and empties Into the

It was first planned to ship Un

ten Mrs. Burton by Eric P. Holt, of
Bend, now educational secretary of
the Y. M. C. A. at Vancouver Bar

Instead to Vancouver. Mr. Bolt says
In his note:
