IMPROVEMENT BONDS
W h at a City May Do Under the
Bancroft Bonding A ct.
In relation to the general
bonding act of the State o f Ore
gon under which payment for
street improvements can be made
in installments, this act provides
that when in any incorporated
city within the state, the council
shall have proceeded to improve
any street, and shall have asses
sed the cost ol such improve
ment to the property benefited
thereby, according to the pro
visions ot the charter, it shall be
lawful for the owner o f any pro
perty so assessed for such street
improvement, in the sum o f $25
or more, at any time within ten
days after notice of such assess
ment is first published, to file
with the auditor or recorder a
written application to pay said
assessement in installments, and
the application shall state that
the applicant and property ow n
er does thereby waive all ir
regularities or defects, jurisdic
tional or otherwise, in the pro
ceedings to improve the street
for which said assessment is
levied and in the apportionment
o f the cost thereof. The applica
tion shall also contain a provi
sion that the applicant and prop
erty owner agrees to pay said
assessment in ten annual install
ments with interest at the same
rate on all o f said assessments
which have not been paid as that
expressed in the bond issued to
pay for such improvements.
If, however, the amount of
such assessment with any pre
vious assessments for street im
provements or sewers assessed
against the same property and
remaining unpaid shall equal or
exceed the value of said property
as shown by the last tax roll o f
the property owner must pay
such excess in cash and then be
would be permitted to file ap
plication to pay the balance in
installments. This, however,
applies only in such cases where
the assessment for street im
provement together with pre
vious assessments equal o f exceed
the assessed value o f the prop
erty.
After expiration o f the time for
filing applications for the pay
ment o f assessments tor street
improvement by installments,
there shall be entered the amount
ot the assessment with proper
identification in the bond lien
docket; and the city shall then
by ordinance authorize the issu
ance o f its bonds in convenient
denominations, not exceeding
$500, and in all equal to the
total amount o f the unpaid as
sessments tor such street im
provement for which applica
tions to pay under the provi
sions o f the act having been tiled,
and such bonds shall by the
terms thereof mature in ten
years from the date thereof and
bear interest not to exceed 6 per
cent per annum, interest payable
semi-annually.
The city under this act re
serves the right to take up and
cancel the bonds so issued upon
the payment o f the face value
thereof with accrued interest to
the date of payment at any semi
annual coupon period at or after
one year from the date of the
bonds.
t Thereafter there shall be due
and payable annually for ten
successive years 10 per cent o f
the cost of the street improve
ment with the amount ot one
year’s interest at not to exceed
six per cent per annum on the
unpaid assessment or install
ments. The first payment shall

be due at the expiration of one
year trom the date of the assess
ment and subsequent payments
at the expiration o f each year
thereafter. The property owner,
however, has the right at any
time after the issuance o f the
bonds to pay into the city
treasury the whole amount o f
the assessment against his prop
erty together with the full
amount o f interest.
As an example, if the sum o f
$300 was assessed against a
piece o f property for the improve
ment o f a street, the owner of
this property can pay the
amount ot the assessment in
ten annual payments by filing
application which in this case
would be $30 per year together
with 6 per cent interest for the
first year on the sum o f $300
which would be $18, therefore
the first payment would be $48
and would be due and payable
one year from the date o f levying
o f the assessment; and the second
year he would have to pay $30
and 6 per cent interest on $270,
making a total payment for the
second year ot $46.20, and so on
until the expiration ot ten years.
The last payment would amount
to $31.80, being interest on $30
tor one year amounting to $1.80
and the amount ,o f the install
ment $30. Should the property
owner at any time during the
ten years desire to pay the total
amount o f his assessment he
would have under this act a
legal right to do so.

PEOPLE TAUUNGABOUT IT
Cashmere, Washington, March
12, 1912.—Last night I heard
Byron Piatt—the first time for
several years. T oo much can
not be said in commendation of
the splendid intellectual and
moral qualities of this distin
guished lecturer. The enthusiasm
o f the audience was marked; the
people on the streets today are
talking about it, and the un-
nanimous opinion is that Piatt is
the strongest lecturer who has
ever been heard in this city. I
know that our patrons every
where will render the same ver
dict which he received here.

PURPOSE OF BOUSING CHICKENS
Why many poultry houses fail
to meet the requirements for
protection to egg producers, and
the main points \yhich should be
observed in building hen houses,
ore told by Prof. James Dryden,
o f O. A. C., in one o f his circular
bulletins.
uUetin
‘ T he purpose o f housing fowls
is to increase productiveness,
“ says Prof. Dryden. “ A little
shelter from the cold winds and
storms will add to the comfort
o f the fowls and therefore to the
egg yield. A cold wave means a
check to egg yield, and the rea
son is probably because the
change means a sudden demand
for increased fuel or food to keep
up the heat o f the body, and the
food that has been going into the
making o f eggs will be drawn
upon for that purpose. It is the
food that furnishes the heat.”
T oo great difference in the
temperature t of the house by
night and day is given as the
prindple reason why many
houses fail. A house with double
walls and windows will never
be warm or diy without arti
ficial heat, which has not yet
been proven practicable.
“ The main requirements o f a
good poultry house are: good
ventilation, for fowls require
much more fresh air than other
animals; protection from
cold winds and storms, “ says
Prof. Dryden. “ Fowls «object to
cold winds. Unless the hen is
provided with shelter where she
can scratch and exercise she will
not be productive. Activity is
the life of the hen.”

BYRON PIATT
um Course last night with one of
the most thorough, far-reaching,
practical and c o m m o n - sense
lectures that I have ever heard.
For one hour and forty
minutes, he held his audience
spell-bound on his great subject,
“ American Morals.”
Had I known of the scope and
character ot his lectun*. I should
have thrown open the doors ot
the opera house, tree o f charge,
and filled the Jjouse to the doors.
Piatt has a message that every
man, and woman should hear.
You should use every possible
method to advertise Dr. Piatt
wherever you place him. He is
not an ordinary lecturer, but
strictly iu a class by himself. He
loses ho time in getting to his
subject and presents his thoughts
in a most interesting and force
ful manner. He is a master of
his audience and an orator o f the
first rank.
Everybody in Marysville, that
heard him last night, is more
than pleased and they are telling
their friends all about it today.
Very truly yours,
