to Ho Considered.
(From Tuesday's Dally.)
That street Improvement will bo
omphaslzed by tho Ucnd city govern
ment this spring and summer was
evidenced yesterday afternoon when
tho city council, in special session,
went on record as favoring tho grad
ing and cindering of moro than four
mile of streets, with construction of
cement walk on at least one stdo of
tho Improved streets. Tho financial
problem connected with such an Im
provement program was disposed ot
when Mayor Baste and Ilccordor
D. II, Peoples woro authorized to
contract with the Lumbermen's Trust
Co. ot Portland tor tbo sao or
$40,000 worth ot 0 per cent, bonds
at par, tinder tho Uancroft act.
Klghiy per cent, of city warrants Is
sued to contractors, tho trust com
pany, through Ita representative,
Carlos Close, agreed to tako at a
14, per cent, discount.
The entlro Improvements contem
plated during tho coming season will
cost between $150,000 and $200,000,
it Is estimated, but these, Mayor
Kastcs Insists, shall bo street which
aro well built up. "Thoro aro plenty
of streets In tho moro thickly settled
portions ot tho city which need Im
provement and need It badly without
going Into tho sparsely populated
sections or tho town with improve
mcuyi this year," ho declared today.
According to the plans tentatively
outlined, tho first work will bo dono
on Newport avenue, Highland boule
vard, Tumalo avenuo and Droadway,
making a roughly circular drlvo In
tho1 center of tho city, which will
cross the river twice. Other sections
which aro under consideration are
Dcschute addition. W.clstorla and
parts, or Greenwood, Irving, Haw
tliprfi, Greeley and Franklin, lying on
this sldo ot the railroad.
Asldeifrom the. fact that tho Im
provement outlined will make pos
slblo much easier travel and com
munication wjthln tho city, It will
practically assuro tho establishment
or a free mall delivery, It is pointed
out.
No arrangements havo been mado
as yet In connection with tho pro
posed ,$19,000 bond issue to wipe
out the city's warrant Indebtedness,
but tho members of the municipal
government, havo been assured that
Btich an Issue can bo floated on prac
tically, tho. same terms as tho Im
provement bonds.
