TRACED BY MAYOR
"In 1015 Eugene hud six firemun
and a horse-drawn fire engine," May-i
or K. IS. 1'urka told Kiwaaiana at
their luucheon in the OBburn today.
"Today, with flix pieces of motor
equipped fire apparatus, the city has
even firemen. In WIS there were
three "call" men, and in 1U25 we
uuve four."
The city had 12 employes on Toad
uud street work in 11)15, while tiiere
Hie now eight men employed, the
mayor stated. The city baa grown iu
us'si'd valuation from $8.(170,300
iji UH2 to $16,113,550 in In
10UU the total population was 8230;
in 1U2U it bad grown to 10,51)3; and
tbia yeur it is conservatively estimat
ed ut 18,000. There are 21 miles of
paved roads, 42 miles of macadam
roads and 45 miles of sewera.
l'olice protection for the city has
not increased in the last 10 years,
the mayor pointed out. There were
five men on the police force in 1015
and there are five men now, A police
matron represents the only increase.
"In 1018 the total of building per
mits was 57, and tile total valuation
102,816," said Mayor 1'arkB. "Last
year 603 permits were granted for a
total of $2,731,705 worth 01 bulla
ing."
W. B. Wallace spoke on the moving
picture of Oregon wild life, to be
ehown at the Christian church next
Tuesday sight, and invited the mem
bers to attend the banquet preceding
the pictures.
Mayor Parks discussed the propos
d city bond measures, stating that a
garbsge incinerator would cost $22,-
000, and that $20,000 was being ask
ed to provide additional money to buy
the land for its location. The Incin'
erator would be of 50-ton capacity,
taking care of a city up to 50,000 popu
lation. The fire department was badly
handicapped, he said, from Jack oL
room, and the bonds for that purpose
should be passed.
Hugh Winder reported on the male
chorus, stating that each service club
would be asked to form a double
Quartette, and that the three organ
i Katiom would compose the chorus.
Jack Pratt presented the resolution

PORT BILL iCIl
STATE HOUSE, SALEM, Ore,
Feb. 2. Governor Pierce has not yet
decided whether he wlllyveto the Port

Who Is Qualified To Pass OA
Certification of Teachers?
State authorities are careful to limit Ut
certification to those who desire, that thai
pupils receive credit from public educations!
institutions for work done under private i,!
struction.
Opportunities for favoritism and exercistl
of political influence.
It has never been made mandatory trail
every teacher giving music instruction for !
fee shall be certified by some central an
thority. Thus all "possible benefits of the
scheme of certifying certain music teachers
and discrediting others so that the more
musicians kept from teaching the better will
be the business of those allowed to teach has
been made corrupt.
Music is an art. The qualities of the art
are baffline can not be touched or cratmed
Expert musical critics can not prove to you I
by the qualities ot the art who are the quali
fied music teachers.
