A lengthy communication on the
county bonding question came from
Hon. W. B. Dennis this week too
late for publication in this issue. It
will be used next week.
It is something of a surprise to
see Fred Lockley'a bat in the ring
as a candidate on the republican
ticket for the nomination to r secre
tary of state, but if he can round
up the descendants of all the .old
pioneers, whose stories of early life
In Oregon he has w ritten up. he wil]
have a long string of supporters to

to meet anywhere and on any occa

The editor of the Graphic was not
able to attend the meeting of the
city council on last Monday even
ing and neither has he been able to
get out since to learn the trend of
the paving matter. He hears, how
ever. that the meeting was largely
attended and that Jesse Edwards,
former mayor, presented a remon
strance that carried the signatures
of ninety per cent or more of the
property owners who will be held
for the cost in case the pxving is
done. He stated that while those
•whose names appeared on the re
monstrance were not opposed to
paving, they did object to being held
up for work done at the prevailing
prices. A number of others, among
whom wfere many women, spoke
very . emphatically along the same
line. G. W. James, W. T. Ander
son, C. C. Ferguson, the mayor and
othqys spoke in favor of paving at
once. The average cost per front
foot as estimated by those who fa-
\ vor paving was given as |5 , but it
Is safe to say that as engineers es
tim ates are usually made in such
Instances, the actual cost would be
much higher than this. For in
stance, the estimate for the First
street concrete bridge ,was about
250,000 while the actual cost has
reached nearly 965,000. It is the
most natural thing in the world for
the engineer or contractor who is
wanting a job to avoid as far as
possible putting figures before those
who must pay the bills that will
tend to dampen their ardor. Mayor
Larkin told the writer in discussing
the paving question a short time
ago, that the property owners would
be heard in the m atter and that the
council would not pave if it was
shown that the people did not want
it undertaken. If this is to be the
policy of the council It would seem
th at 90 per cent or more of those
interested ought to be sufficient un
less they desire that it be made
unanimous. There may have been
Instances where the wish«« of so
large a majority of property owners
were arbitrarily set aside but we
hare beard of none. The State
Highway Commkulos has stated re
peatedly that they were not conatd-
erlng letting any new projects this
season, for the reason that all the
contractors had all they could han
dle and consequently they knew
that if they should bid on other
Contracts it would be at figures that
would be prohibitive. Does it stand
to reason that Newberg will be able
to get lower bids for paving than
can the State Highway Commission,
and is Newberg better able to pay
an exorbitant price for paving than
is the state of Oregon? Some £>f
these things should be considered
¿y the city council when they meet
Monday night to vote on the paving
question.
