Coquille's Condition Would Rec­
ommend It for R.F.C. lxMtn
for Water Line
Mayor J. Arthur Berg, Councilman
Ray Jeub and City Engineer J. Loy
Stacer will leave the fore part of next
week for Portland to confer with the
regional director of the Reconstruc­
tion Finance Corporation in regard
to Coquille’s application for a loan of
<30,000 which will be used in replac­
ing the wooden and steel pipe in the
local water system, if the application
i/ approved.
'
A statement of the city’s financial
condition, especially as regards the
water system, has been prepared by
City Treasurer Bickels for submission
to the R. F. C. director.
Briefly this report shows receipts
of »21,000 since Jan. 1, 1932—seven­
teen months, and a balance of more
than »8,000 to the credit of the water
fund. The estimated value of. the
pbnt is *250,000.
On the debit side of the water fund
account there are outstanding *113,-
500 in bonds, none of which are due
before 1945, and *3,800 in warrants.
Not included in Mr. Sickels' pre­
pared statement, but simply as an in­
dication of the city's total indebted-
ness, it can be added that there are
approximaely *58,000 of outstanding
l>onds and warrants of the general
fund, making a total of *175,000 of
outstanding
indebtedness.
Beside
thst there sre improvement bonds,
street and sewer, totalling *96,000,
but as these are payable by the prop­
erty owners the city should never
have to pay a cent on those bonds, al­
though they are a city obligation.
The water fund always hps shown
a profit, above coat of operation, and
Ooad retirement and interest. and it
should not be difficult to prove to the
R. F. C. officials that thia would be a
self-liquidating loan, and that the
funds are necessary for the preserva­
tion of the Coquilb water oystem.
The city officials will also present
the plan suggested by the Lions Club
that *6900 be loaned the ci* for the
fitting up and main t wmn e s of • s wi m
ming pool at the east end of First
street. The plan outlined by the eluh
shows that thia would also be a self­
liquidating project.
Dry Convention Candidates
The meeting ef Coos county
forces, in (Pioneer Hall here last
day afternoon, resulted in the or-
gani^ation of the Coos County Dr#
League, of which Dr. T. M. White, of
North Bend, ia president; Rev. E. G.
Ranton, Myrtle Point, vice president;
Rev. T. R. Jackman, Coquille, secre­
tary-treasurer.
There were upwards of one hundred
persons in attendance, who endorsed
m dry candidates to the prohibition
repeal convention, to be held in Aug­
ust, the following: W. Taylor Dement,
of Myrtle Point; Lyman Carrier, of
Coquilb; and Mrs. Wm. Vaughn, of
North Bend.
An active campaign until the elec­
tion July 21, when delegates to the
-tate convention are to be chosen, will
be conducted by the new league/
It will require a lot of work to
change the wet majority of 2214 in
Coos county at last fall’s election. In
Coquilb the repeal of the state's dry
law egrried by only three or four
votes.
Galloway Here Next Friday
At a meeting of the Coos County
Tax Equalisation league officers held
at the city hall, Coquille, Wednesday
evening the meeting went on record
to combine forces with the committee
of eight and use all their ' energies
towards pushing the campaign for the
passage of the Sales Tax measure to
be voted on next month.
L. A. Lilje-
qvist, vice president of the tax league,
was invited by the Coquille and Fair­
view Granges to speak on this issue.
The school situation was discussed
and the Sales Tax was the only pos­
sible remedy offered to the taxpayer
to aid our schools in this present
crisis.
Chas. V. Galloway, chairman of the'''
State Tax Commission, will speak in
Coquille on Friday, June 16, at the
court house at 8 p. m.
