OUR SLOGAN: Community Cooperation K E E P Y OUR EY E ON E S T A C A D A ! Devoted to the Interests of Eastern Clackamas County V olume 14, N umber 1 REFUNDING BONDS SOLO 10 PORTLAND FIRM The refunding street and sewer bonds received but one bid, that of Ralph Sehneeloch Co. of Port land, who offered to take them at par with accrued interest. The council accepted the bid and thus this i s s ue is disposed of. The council received a peremptory order from the State Board of Health to install a chlorinating plant at the intake within thirty days. The council has been cor responding with a San Francisco firm about procuring one, but so far has not been able to get one. The secretary of the state board complained that the council had not paid any attention to previous communications which was not true, as the council has done so far, all that it had been told to do. Dr. Wells, chairman of the water committee, wrote to and endeavored to obtain a personal interview with the secretary of the state board, Dr. Roberg. He made a trip to see him, but when he called Dr. Roberg was out. While there has been much complaint about the condition of the water, yet no case of tvphoid has been traced to it. Estacada has been practically immune from typhoid and what few cases there have been, were attributable to other causes than the city water. The city finances show a healthy condition and a full report for the last two years will be published next week if not received in time for this week’s issueof the N ews . The council voted to expend several hundred dollars imme diately in road work, and the road on Upper Main to the Har- kenrider’s turn, will be put in first-class shape, and the street south.of the school house graded atid gravelled. Artisans’ Dance The United Artisans will give a big dance at the Park Pavilion on Saturday evening, October 2. Music will be furnished by a Portland orchestra and supper served at midnight. Everybody will be wecome and tickets $1.00. E stacada , O regon , T hursday , S eptember 23, 1920 To Nominate City Ticket Our citizens should attend the mass meeting next Thursday night, to nominate candidates for the city officials, for the en suing year. They should remem ber that unless they take the trouble to nominate and elect those whom they deem most fit for the positions, they have no right to criticize those elected. The members of the city council serve without remuneration, do nating their time and trouble, and usually meeting with con demnation and scant apprecia tion. It is not surprising that few are willing to serve, unless urged to by a strong sense of public duty. The present coun cil wishes to make it known that they have done their best to serve the public and if the latter is not satisfied, they will gladly step down and out. In fact none of them cares to serve again. The N ews has no names to present, but it does not want a clean sweep, as it is desirable to retain some who have^xperience in handling our city affairs. It thinks there should be women elected, nor does it object to the possibility of a “mayoress.” It is inclined to believe that if such were the case, it might have an educational effect in many ways, and help bring about the much needed revision of our city char ter, whose limitations and de fects tie the hands of the coun cil in effecting mlich needed im provements. Local Boy Gains Honors Lewis Jones, formerly of Esta cada, was elected class president at Reed college Wednesday of last week. Jones entered Reed last September, and in a year of residence on the college campus, has made an enviable reputation. He represented Reed on the de bate platform last year, and was on the team which won honors from the University of Oregon. Jones will have charge of the year’s sophomore activities in cluding a reception for new fac ulty members and freshmen plan ned for September 25.
