VOL XLVIII, ALBANY, LINN COUNTY. OREGON, TUESDAY. JCNS 17. rJl.i. No. 66. ry np.s HELD MEETING Dr. J. L Hill Occupies Cenier of Stage at Meeting Keid Last Night. LIVELY .DEBATE ADDS INTEREST TO SESSION Other Matters of Interest Dis posedof at Regular Weekly Meeting. insinuations lo the effect lluil the council hail pa.-std upon the merits of i;iinij ordinances without giving the property owners due time to consult-v Hie multer, were last night made on the Iloor of the council chamber by Dr. J. L. Hill and evoked a heated dUcussiou in which the city authori-tie.- tnoN direct issue it:i the speak er. Dr. Hill contended that the taxpay ers had been stung on the paving pro position and in answer Lo a question as to who they had been stung by, he shouted that they stung themselves by acepting the propositions as sub mitted by the council when they were ignorant of the facts. He asserted that he has made a careful study of the paving proposition, not only in Albany but in other towns and re iterated his statement that the people have not gotten what they paid for and that he believed that the taxpay ers should be allowed to select their own kind of pavement .it a minimum cost. The members of the council, in an swer to Dr. Hill's allegations con tended that the assertion was without foundation. Incidents were cited that discredited Dr. Hill's statement that the paving matter was being rail roaded and that there was no reason for the people to be in ignorance of the procedings attendant to the au thorization of the pavement of a street. The procedure of the council relative to these matters was cited; to :wit : that acording to a custom that has been adopted, though not required by law, the council would desire to receive a petition signed by the greater number of property own ers along a street, representing the greatest number of feet frontage, be fore they would grant the pavement. In the event a remonstrance repres enting the majority should be filed the petition would be thrown out. In these petitions the kind of pavement desired has always been stated. The discussion arose over the mat ter of the naving of Jefferson street between Water and First streetf. when a proposal from the Warren Construction company for the im provement of the block according io the il;ms and specifications on file in the recorder's office was read. A petition for the improvement of this block has never been filed is the Oregon Electric Railway company, one of the property owners, for some reason could not sign the petition but had expressed themselves as desirous of having the street improved. John Warner and a Mrs. Cleek are the oth er uroivrtv o'vncrs in the bloeic and although all of the proceedings fur thi laying of the pavement have been per formed, the proposal was lost last night upon vote on the contention that Mrs. Clerk opposed the pave ment, having just learned of its con templation. The report of the committee rn streets and public pronertv. re n'!- ing all action taken in the Second ; street paving matter, was adopted. Several proposals for the improve-1 merit of alleys and streets by navin. from the Warren Construction Co. 1 vi'f'.' read and filed. I A communication from Pres. J. H. Young of the Oregon Electric to Mayor Gilbert was read. It pertained to the condition along the tracks on Firth street and slated that the nec-t-snrv repairs will be made in the near future. A communication from the Warren ; Obstruction Co. stated that crushed i gravel wr.uld be substituted for whole . i:r.'tvrl in uvarini; surface of all gravel bitulithie pavement laid by the com pany during the present year without com to the city providing t hey are: notified a reasonable time hifore the j pavement is laid.

Kditor JVmoyrai: Having visited Albany in May .'th and living mi itupresM-d villi the im provements made since my previous visit that 1 feel liko I nuir-t' say a few words through the Democrat express ing my surprise at the growth that Albany has taken on within the tew short moil tits between my visits The Hotel 1 1 annuel, a magnificent '-s'ory building; the Kirst National bank building, a beauty in architec ture and fiui.sh, a live story structure, and the new theater jut implied is certainly a eredit to the ehy of Al bany. Ami Kugcne will have to go some when site tries ,to keep pace with Albany. When I arrived in Alb.-.tiy and look; ed at tny watch and compared it wilh the clock on the court house I was too slow and thought tny watch had stopped. So I set it with Albany time. When 1 got back to Kugcne and looked at the clock on the court house 1 was way ahead of it, so the thought struck me that Eugene was too slow for Albany. I noticed so many improvements while in Albany that I oali't remem ber all of them. What struck me most forcibly was the fine condition of the Masonic cemetery. It shows that the order takes great pride in caring for the last, re.iting place of the departed. Hut I am sorry to say the condi tion of the City cemetery was cer tainly not a credit to any community. 1 met a great many old friends dur ing my short slay and all seemed to still have that .same old hand, shake that seems good to me. I only have one short kick to make. And that is I find sime of my old friends are going to vote against the U. of O. appropriation. Now don't do it. Never east your vote against any appropriation for higher educa tion, especially your State University. Let's have as good as any state or better. Don't fight your educational institutions but give thcin your , sup port. Am sorry I did not meet the editor when 1 called. Yours truly, SAGE ROOSTER. FINE COUNTRY HOME OF SGIO MAN BURNS DOWN E. G.
