Oft KG ON, WEDNESDAY, J' 8ftf jiniSj MEDYNSKI SAYS REBONOCTYFOR PA1 DEBIS Councilman Favors Redemption of Outstanding Paving Indebtedness by General Bend Issue, Refunding Assessments Paid to Property-Holders. El TRAIN DELAYS WEDDING OP MISS CLARK "HONEY SHUCK," WHERE SPEAKER CLARK'S DAUGHTER WILL BE MARRIED, AND BRIDE-BE To (lie voters or Medferd: Our esteemed contemporary "The Meilfonl Sun," In ItR edltorUI of June 20th hits the nail nqunroly on the henil, when It wiyn, "we nhould .concentrate upon construction work promote tho welfare of tloe nl rendy here." HfRht nlonR thin lno I would Ilka to rIvo nn Idea of how wo ran de vino waya and meann to reach an wjultnlilc and Juat settlement of our street pavlnn obligation".. Then , when our own Iioiibo In In order It wll follow no n matter ofcourito our k beat adYortlmunent will ho- what wo j nro, not what wo way. Tho original debt on thin street pavlnn was f7ri9,2I0.00 Bt alx per cent Interna. Ucdcomcd up lo date ! fmi.GO0.0o, halanco outntnndlnj; i 15(57,750.00. It has been aiiRReated that wo collect our delinquent pav- , lnp amiewtmnnln by proccaa of law; through such means It would virtual- ly, bo confiscation of property, bring R publicity which would Injure In stead of benefit, drlvo many of our licit citizens to the wall, and still not alleviate our condition. To IUilKini! tho City Now my proposition Is this lo re bond tho city for tho original nniount of !751),250.00 for a lonR porlod any .10 years at a lower rate- of Interest than wo nro nt present paying then reimburso those who liavo paid tholr inslallmcnts to tho amount of $191, 500.00, and IiprIii auow. To put this amount of money In circulation nt tho present tlnio, would bavo a tendency to atari our city on tho way to renewed prosperity. An It now stands this debt Is a blankot UiortRaRn on eyery foot of land In the city of Medford; only n very fow nro payiiiR tho principal on this debt, . anil If wo nllow matters to continue In this way, how nro wo Rolnp to pay this principal which In threw ycara bcfilus to rail duo? This debt was contracted for pub lic Improvements, mid It Is really an unJiiHt taxation lo iihhcsh It agiilnst jirlvato, property, whon It was notli ins mora nor less than n public benefit, lNillmv Count' Plan Tho pnvlnR of tho Paclflo lilRhway Is not assessed to private jiroporty ndjarent to Name, but copies out of tho county Reneral street and road fund; that IioIiir tho case, why not have our city pavliiR of streets, coma out of our city Rmicrnl street mid mad fund. Instead of assessltiR It di rect to tho property aliuttlnR? Now this chnnco can bo accom plished thrniiRh the s)sein of ro bondlnR and relmburslnR as abovo Vet forth, and paying same out of tho general taxation for Instance, re build for HO year for tho orlRlnnl hiiiii nt five per cent Interest (this alone would be a ) early savliiR on In terest of $7,592.50). tho firnt fltu years payiiiR nothliiK but Interest, which would nuiount to n seven mill taxation at our present valuation of $5,000,000. Valuation to Incron Tho prospects uro that this valua tion will liavo Increased at the md of five yearn to $10,000,000. J low ever, If the vnliintlon should pnsHlbly lie'tlie same' at the end of that time, wn would thon only have to Inerense our levy seven pillls additional, In order to start our 2S year sinking fund, which of course could be put out to draw same lntcrost as our bonds, five per cent Prom year to ear this would gradually rcdueo our Interest pro rata on the principal, as one Interest would counter-balance the other, nat urally llRhtenlpR our burden Wn have tho most lvoautlful little city on tho Puclflo coast, also the finest rllmatu In tho world, thin alone Is one of tho great oat assots a com munity can possess, and It Is somo thliiR no human agency can dlspos fcess uti of. Out InerwiHo Asm'U Willi un honest and shrewd busi ness iiianaRomt'iit wo can Increase our assotu, thereby loudening tho bur- don upon thoso already hero and also JncroaslnR tho Inducements to others to come among us and share In our natural resources by doveloplng them which would Incrouso our valuation and gradually decreasu our burden; thus waklBR our llttlo city and its BurroiiBdlHg country n veritable para dise Indeed, as pronounced by all who vlw It for tho first time.

Thomson, editor qf tho New Orleans Item. Tho derailment of a Ctilcugo Alton train bearing wedding gucits caused a post ponement. Hundreds of guests from other slntes, many of them prominent In tho. political and social life of the na tion, came to Howling (Jro'n to nl- tend tbn wedding and thousands came from Missouri. To tho pcoplo of this stato Speaker Clark Issued a blanket Invitation and so great wan the throng that took blin at his word that Howling Croon could scarcely hold them, ' To provide quarters for the hun dreds whom the townspeople could not entertain, sleeping cars were side tracked In tho local railroad yards. The wedding was to lake placo on the lawn of "Honey Shuck," the Clark home For weeks wedding presents from far and near have poured Into the Clnrk home. Presi dent Wilson sent two silver compotes, Tho Missouri congressional delega tion sent a silver flower basket three feet high. A tllnniond'necklaco was font bj-congress. Newsboys nnd pap er carriers of tho New Orleans Item sent n sllvor tablet n f.ac-slmlln of the first pago of the Item. Tho town of Howling Croon was gaily decorated. Flags wore flying from every window and hundred of yards 'of bunting adorned tho busi ness district, Among tho wedding guests wcro Henry Wattorson, editor of tho Louis ville Courier-Journal; Normnn K Muck of Huffnlo, former chalrmnn of tho democratic national committee; 'ongrrssman Mann of Chicago, re- publican leader In the houso of rep rcsontatlves, nnd Colonel Ooorgo Har vey, tho mngazlno editor.
