Corvallis Lodge F. & A. M., at their regular meeting on Wednes day last wound up a busy evening by a fine spread in the supper room attached to their hall. After the good things on the table had been disposed of Toastmaster Dear- mg marshaled the speakers in or der, and a jolly hour was spent in listening to gems of wisdom, wit and pathos. Will Yates led in a defense of the lawyers; Professors Crawford, Skelton, Kent and Holmes stood up for the cause of popular education; Doctor Harper told what he knew about music with references to his "pull" an another profession; and Hathaway, Davis and Wilkins represented the commercial interests, and finished up an enjoyable evening. THE MAYOR'S VETO In the Matter of Electric Lights "for Corvallis K. -.of P. Smoker. Valley Lodge, Knights of Py thias, of Corvallis, gave one of the most pleasant stag parties of the season, at their hall on Mon day evening of this week. It was an informal affair, highly en joyed by the Knights and numer ous friends that had been invited. An excellent program of music by the quartet, and an address 5f exceptional merit by School Supt. Geo. W. Denmau, passed the time till supper was placed 'on the table. Dr. Harper was loud ly applauded for fine guitar solo and song, W. G. Emery for. a pair of guitar solos. Johnson, Yates, Fulton and Herse, who were the sweet singers, also dis tinguished themselves when the attack was made on the oysters and pie. After a spread that was enjoyed by everyone present, the quartet gave another pair of songs, and' Mr. Dearing, of the Gazette, explained how things looked from his point of view. This started., the ball rolling and gems of wit and wisdom followed in rapid succession. Will Yates, Prof. Horner,-Bob Johnson, Prof. Fulton, Jas. Booth, Bert Johnson, Dilley, Fred Yates and many others kept the audience in con stant laughter. Midnight came all too soon, and the meeting broke up reluctantly, with hearty good wishes for the success of Valley Lodge, Knights of Py tbias. To the Common Council of the City of Corvallis, Greeting: Gentlemen: I herewith return to you with my disapproval an ordinance entitled, "An ordi nance adopting a form of con tract and authorizing the police judge of Corvallis to execute the same, for and in behalf of the City of Corvallis an one party, and the Electric Light and Power Company the other party, for the supplying of the City of Corval lis for the period of ten years. and certain other provisions inci dent to said contract." As grounds for this veto, beg to say that, it is my opinion that a council, bound oy oatu to a just and proper care of the affairs of the people, has no right to pay one party more t for street lighting than another will supply it for. In my view such Council always and everywhere, owes it to the peoplejto take advantage ot every opportunity and circum stance to secure lighting, not only for public but for private use, at the lowest possible rates. At the time this ordinance was passed, a bidder was on the floor of this Council chamber, begging the privilege of submitting lower figures for street lighting and promising a reduction to private consumers, lhere naa lDeen no formal submission and opening of bids, and in my view the re ception of any and all bids that might have been offered at that meeting would have been per fectly fair and regular. Indeed, the sale at auction by open bid ding of franchises of the charac ter that the Council is about to bestow, has become' the practice in many cities, and it has turned out to be fraught with advantage to the municipality and profit to the people. It is because the councilmen refused to accept a ower priced light, but proceeded to contract for ten years for a higher priced light, that I feel impelled to disagree with the councilmen and to submit this message of dissent. ; As a further reason for this veto, I present herewith the offer of B. F. Jones to contract with the Council to supply street light ing to the city for ten years at the rate of five dollars per month for arcs and $1.35 for incandes cents. The rate provided for in the ordinance you have pasted, is $6.00 per month for arcs, and $1.41 for incandescents. The difference during the ten years on a basis of fifteen arcs for street lighting would be $i,8oo, not taking to account the annual in terest, and the fact of a certain increase in the amount of light that will be used as the period advances. The ofler of Mr. Jones is ac companied by a bond of $2,300, approved by myself, guarantee ing that the proposition will re main open for the city to accept for a period of thirty days, if it is so desired. In conclusion, I am assured and believe that the capital upon which the offer of Mr. Jones is based, based, is local monev, and that the real bidders for the con tract are responsible Corvallis citizens. Dated at Corvallis, Oregon, this the 1 6th day of November, 1903. ' B.F.Irvine, Mayor. SECOND PARENTS' MEETING 1 Watcii Coafidtnce!
