This work has been contemplated for several years past and its need is too apparent to need comment, for with the country dis tricts building miles of rocked roads leading into Estacada, the city should at least be able to show a couple of blocks of decent pavement. Negotiations are now under way, for the council to avail themselves of the provisions of the Bancroft Bonding Act and get the work start ed by Sept. ist. The Bancroft Bonding A ct, al lows of any city, properly chartered after certain legal lormalities, to issue bonds, as a lien against any stipulated section of the city, ad joining the proposed street improve ments. These bonds are easily sold and usuallv bear 6 % interest and sell at a slight premium. These bonds divide the total payment of the road building into ten equal yearly payments, with the inter*st payable semi-annually. This ar rangement does away with the ne cessity of the assessment at one time and makes the burden light and easy to handle, For instance, County Engineer Hobson, states that the two blocks on Broadway can be paved with a hard surfaced pavement, of bitumi nous macadam, at a cost not to e x ceed $3.50 per front foot, including the cement curbing. This figure allows for a 56 foot street with 12 foot side walks, but the proportion would be the same with 10 foot walks and 60 foot roadway, This form of pavement has been used and found to be very satisfactory, at Grants Pass, Medford. Ashland, Cottage Grove and other points, in tact Clackamas County has recently let the contract for one mile of this paving on the road frem Sellwood to Milwaukie. which road has the heaviest traffic in the county. This figure would mean about $87.50 total cost for pavement for each 25 foot lot, payable in ten In stallments of $8.75 each. If desir ed any ptoperty owner may pay the entire cost at one time and not avail himself of the installment pay ments. These low payments would mean about 75c per month and few of the tenants in the buildings on Broadway would refuse to pay that amount extra per month as rental, if it was necessary, to get the street paved. The building of the concrete side walks will be handled separately and should cost uot to exceed 10c per square foot, Tbe majority of the property owners in Estacada have expressed their desire to have the work begun at an early date and the only delay is due to getting advices from out side parties owning lots on the street.
