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,

Mayor.

'I am glad McFadden has got
Koot and Pilkington where they

the games.
"I coached the Montana State
