OTTO ERICKSON AGAIN MAYOR
Voters Return Recorder Thyng as Clerical End of
Council by Substantial Majority
F The
first meeting and inauguration
of Beaverton's city council for the
year 1928 was held in the city hall
on Monday evening, following a
short session by the retiring board,
presided over by ex-M ayor Pegg, to
clean up certain unfinished business
and pass on current expenditures of
the past m onth
T he 1927 council
consisted of VV. F.. Pegg. mayor, ami
\V F. Bishop, F. E. Dietsch, A. E.
Wilson, ami W. J. Raynard, the
latter two holding over.. T he mayor
and two retiring councilmen wero
succeeded by O tto Erickson, and W.
M. Manning ami H arry Alexander,
respectively.
The oath of office was a dm in
istered by Recorder T hyng to the
incoming members.
On taking the
chair, Mayor Erickson arose in a
true spirit of progressive cooperation
anil offered the following as an o u t
line of the y ear’s duties and t lu
disposition in which he would ca
deavor to advance the city’s best
interests:
T o the members of the City Council
and citizens of the town of
B e a v e rto n :
In once again assuming the of-
fice of Mayor, l wish to impress
one thought to all, that at all
times my actions will be with the
thought, “ W ha t will be the best for
Beaverton,” and my efforts will
be concentrated on any plan te n d
ing to its grow th and im prove
ment.
By w orking in harm ony
with the remainder of the city
government much good can be
accomplished.
W e have two m ajor projects in
hand for the following year which
means much to Beaverton, namely,
the widening of Broadway, anil
the route of the highway through
our town from the convergence of
the Beaverton-Bertha highway and
Canyon road on the east, west to
Stipe’s Garage, thence south to
the Bank corner anil west to Ce-
dar street.
By the city working in conjunc-
non with the State Highway Dept,
undoubtedly some amicable agree
ment can be reached whereby the
expenses can be borne jointly, thus
relieving the property owners of
assuming
an
individual
burden
which is a benefit to the town
at large.
Th e w ater question this year, as
in years past, will be a trouble-
some one.
T h e retiring council
after consistently trying to solve
the leakage in the Bull Run w ater
pipe has done the only thing pos-
sible under the circumstances by
securing cheaper w ater from the
Tualatin Y’alley Co.
Bull Run
advertise-
w ater may be a fine
inent, but under conditions which
it has been operating is prohibi
t i \ e ; at some future time Bull
Run w ater may
be feasible for
Beaverton.
Beaverton needs a sewage sys
tem ami the time is not far dis
tant when the business interests
will demand that something be
clone. The health of our citizens
must be placed ahead of any
thought of cost.
Broadway
street
neeils
more
parking space, and the solution
seems to be to open up more side
streets and alleys, so our m erch
ants may unload their merchandise
and park their cars, jointly on the
main street with their customers
A little more civic pride in
cleaning up rubbish and refuse
front our streets would ai»l m a
terially in the appearance of the
u >w n ami 1 will advocate the pass-
mg of laws to that effect
T o work intelligently and h a r
moniously with the city council
will be my aim tor the follow ing
year."
O tto Erickson
Mayor
Speaking of the w ater situation,
it may be of interest to our reader-
to know that the cost to the city
was, the past year, reduced about
two-thirds. In December, 1926, our
bill for Bull Run w ater was $900, a-
against approximately $300 in De
cember 1927.
Before adjourning Mayor Erickson
appointed the following committees
S tre e ts—Alexander and M anning
binance—Raynard and Wilson.
Sanitation—E ntire Council.
( ily A ttorney—Allen, re-appointed
Health officers—Dr.
Mason and
Dr. Welsh
Police Chief—Story, re-appointed
W a te r Superintendent—T. A. D en
ison, appointed for one month, with
instruction to keep a daily record of
his activities.
On motion duly made and sec
'»tided the Recorder was authorized
to hire an accredited accountant to
audit the books, this action being
taken at the suggestion of Recorder
Thyng.
A petition and resolution from
several abutting property owners for
lie improvement and widening of
Broadway was received and the Re
order instructed to post same a c
cording to law.
