K NEW CHARTER NEEDED
i
i
f (■'
/
1 /
The fact cannot be disputed that
our ¡»resent city charter ia grossly
Inadeijuate for the present needs of
Scio. Conditions of the present day
are entirely different to what they
were when our town was first in-
corporate*!.
What then «eitw'l
sufficient for the city's n»*eds. do
not fit th»- conditions of today
For
this reason, the charter mx-ds tiling
in verv many point«.
One feature which should l»>
changed, is the limit placed upon
th«- amount of indebtedrMss the city
may incur
When th»- charter was
obtained, the assesM-d valuation of
our town was m»t more than 650.-
OOQ.
Our limit of indebtedness,
$5< mm > is 10 per cent of this valua
tion.
A like percentage on our
preM*nt valuation, would allow an
indebtedness of 615,000 or over.
When our water plant and electric
lighting systems were rebuilt, a
debt to th«* full limit was involve»!
N<> such debt ns this was. proliabiv
contemplated, when our present
charter was frani«-d and, as them-
systems are more than srlfsustam-
mg and will in a few years, pay the
bonds, the debt should not l»e con- >
»trued as on«- depending upon direct
taxation for payment.
But owing to our pr«*«>ent debt j
limitation, our city council refuse«
to father a much desired street im
provement, nevertheless the shutting
property owners arc abundantly wil
ling to pay for the same The coun
cil believes the charter with the
6504*0 debt limitation, bar* their
undertaking the improvements. This
conclusion is. probably, correct un
der a strict construction of the
charter. Very well. then, let us
either amend or enact a new charter
which will harmonize with present
conditions.
There are several other features
of the charter which do not suit
present day conditions, am! which
we intend to discuss in the near
future
We want this block to im
provement and progress corrected,
so that our town can move along in
the march and in k«*eping with that
of our sister towns and so that we
will cease to be a subject of jest
and ridicule from viaitors.
GERMANY’S REPLY
Germany's reply to President Wil
son’s note relative to submarine
murders, is an attempt to justify an
unlawful act, so regarded by all
civilized people. Instead of meeting
the proposition fairly. Germany at
tempts to argue the question by
setting up a man of straw
