"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

have our city pavliiR of streets, coma
out of our city Rmicrnl street mid

rect to tho property aliuttlnR?
Now this chnnco can bo accom

which would nuiount to n seven mill

$5,000,000.

Tho prospects uro that this valua

wn would thon only have to Inerense

order to start our 2S year sinking

To provide quarters for the hun

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

Tho Missouri congressional delega

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

Among tho wedding guests wcro
