I A SHRIEK AFTER PAVEMENT.
Roseburg has completed its first
paving contract of seventeen blocks,
the roller engine shrieked, and the
paving outfit wasmoved elsewhere in
a manner to indicate that this will be
the extent of the paving there for
.wB;i,
awnilC,
until the city nets up to a
position where it can afford some
more.
Under the Roseburg system
the city pays half the cost, the prop
( erty owner the other half, making it
apparently easier on the tax payer.
Just how much a city of six or scv
I c:i thousand should pave is a problem
I that needs to be studied seriously. A
city government should be run like a
private business from a business
I standpoint. That is, it should only do
things within its means. Improve
ments should ijjit be burdensome; but
they should be progressive in keeping
with the times. A city, like an indi
vidual, might as well be out of the
world as out of fashion, but just how
extensive it should be is a question
for investigation, particularly during
the present very high price of pave-,
ment.
DURING THE WINTER.
The indications are that house
building will go on this winter just
the same as during the summer, which
is the spirit of the age. With two
good dry kilns in the city this is made
possible. It will mean a good deal
for Albany if this plan is followed
during the entire winter, for the city
is certainly in need of many new
houses. It is particularly in need of
places for rental. People residing
here do well to have" their own homes
as soon as possible. When this is
done it always makes a vacant house
for some renter just coming to town,
and thus water seeks its level.- I
CITY EXTENSION.
Noting a piece in your most worthy
paper for a bigger Albany, would say
Ihat we farmers do not agree with the
attorney general in his opinion, sug
gesting a vote in the referendum by
anv ,illu. U) lu. :li om ( (),
or i
. sold in small tracts, and it will have
! more than it can do in the next 411!
: years. llniKl your town out to us !
and then we will talk about extending
further, or when we see that it will l
hem-tit us as it does the town to be ;
incorporated we are ready to incor-
I porate. IWu as it is our taxes, which (
, are high enough, would be increased i
; to pay lor your conveniences, while I
w-e would e,o without. And any time
the city dads saw tit to deprive us 1
I from keeping any stock and compel 1
us to lav sulewalKs, put in sewerage,
or anything that goes to make a city.:
we would have to do it. There is no ,
justice, nothing honorable in that kind (
of extension. It puts a stamp on free-'
dom. Whatever the city does, it is a '
one-sided atfair. We ak onlv for ius-
' tu-e and are capable ot knowing when '
I justice is dime, for our brains are not
I all hayseed yet. j
