WOODBURN TOPIC
Woodburn. Or., Dec. 12. Sub
Btltuttou ol municipal UoihIb bear
ing 5 per cent intercut tor war
rants bearing G per cent interest to
Bluted for tue chief topic or dis
cussion at the monthly meeting of
the community club Wednesday
evening at 6:30 o'clock, according
to John V. Hunt, president. The
topic in arousing considerublo in
terest among Woodburn rosidenie.
A former city council disregard
ed the 6 per cent limitation law
and lesued warrants which were
taken up by local banks as secur
ity. Finding that a saving of one
per cent could bo effected through
the proposed substitution, commit
tees from the community club and
the t'tiy council were appointed to
act together and make recom
mendations to the club. The pres
ent city council Is favorable to the
plan provided that it receives the
endorsement ol the community
club. In order to get the matter
in shape to present the plan to
the community club, a meeting of
the two committees will bo held
Monday afternoon at 3 o'clock.
The proposed municipal bond Issue
will involve approximately $t4,
000.
Proponents of the chunge main
tain that the money has been well
spent, going chiefly for paving. As
a result of the expenditure Wood
burn has many paved streets of
excellent material that it other
wise would not P0S3O33. These
streets are. owing to the city's to
cation, Its chief asset to attract
home owners. The saving ot one
per cent on interest Is also empha
sized. .
Opponents to the issuance of
municipal bonds argue that should
the substitution be made there ie
no guarantee that future city
councils would not exceed their
authority under the law and re
peat the performance. This ap
pears to be the main argument
against the muufcipal bond propo
sition. To meet this argument, Mr.
Hunt has ovolved a plan that he
will place before the jolut commit
tee. He suggeslB that a group of
26 or more prominent Woodburn
citizens, not necessarily- members
of the community club, cntor Into
contract and bind themselves o"0
their heirs for an amount suffi
cient to bring injunction proceed
ings against any futuro council
that might desire to exceed its au
thority. This pldn would act as a
brake upon the council and pre
vent a duplication of present con
ditions and an act similar to that
committed by the former council,
The Woodburn Community club
Is not similar to other community
clubs In Hie Salem district but
corresponds1' to tho chamber of
commerce and commercial clubs of
other cities. Meetings aro held
the thiri Wednesdny evening of
each mo m ii.

What is the
Why is this new Oakland feature creating such
wide-spread interest? Why is it regarded
as the year's outstanding advancement?
The Harmonic Balancer is an entirely new engineering
development, pioneered by Oakland, and rendering the Oakland
Six engine unmatched in freedom from vibration at all speeds.
This remarkable feature does not merely dampen vibration it
prevents vibration. It makes use of a simple natural law to neu
tralize any twisting of the crank-shaft under repeated piston im
pulses and thus stops torsional vibration at its very source.
But the Harmonic Balancer lis not all. The new Oakland Six
embodies more than 100 other improvements including Four
Wheel Brake refinements, Air Cleaner, Oil Filter, and Full Pres
sure Oiling System yet prices are 70 to 350 lower.
