Now, I wish to call the attention of the people as well us Ihe "citv nuts' to the lasi part ol the above quotation from the city charier, i. e.. if the council sluill reject any such measure (initiative petition) or take no action I hereon, it may ordain a competing ordinance or amendment, which shall he submitted to the vote of the people by Ihe recorder at the same election at which said initiative proposal is submitted. Such compet itive measure, if any, shall he pre pared by the council and ordained within the thirty davs allowed for its 'let ion on 1 be measure proposed by the initiative petition." Tellow citizens, what could be more plain than the above quotation from the law Unt then why should this city council heed ihe law? They seem to think that they are the law, hut before they are through wilh lhi-; lit tle piece of boys pluy they will know what the law is. The initiative pe tition, hearing over tlMI .si-nature- of ley id voters, was filed with the city recorder October li by the writer, ainl I expect the city council to proceed according to law with regard to same, as 1 will hold the city recorder re sponsible, as the initiative petition was "iveu to him and filed with him on behalf of the petitioners, ami Mr. Kos knows the law and the initiated measure is iu hi hands and it is up to him and it is tits duty under the law to see that the measure initialed is properly and legally presented to the peoole for (hci approval or re jection, ie;:aidless of the attitude of the city council. If the council them--elves hae a better plan, let them produce it. either thioutih the office id" Mr. MeCahe, city allnrney. or from any private soujve which they' wish lo obtain same from at their own expense. j Kroni the article published in the! Sun I presume that they will ignore our able city attorney and huv a plan on ihe outside, a- expending the city's ; money on pet schemes is not legal, land then if they (the city council) j wish to, Mr. Fuss will submit their u.,., ..I,.,..- not, I I,.. ...i I iea-niv. to t ac people tor their up pntal or tvicelinn at the next eisu prepare and present a competitive or better measure of their own, with the aid of the city attorney, they had better all resign and let the people elect some one who is competent to fill tin- position. Personally, 1 think Ihe people of .Medl'ord, from what I can bear, have 'hud-aboiil enough of this kind of bunk handed to them by the present council during the last year, and now I say they are exceed ing the speed Jimit, so we taxpayers had better see that the laws govern ing our city council are lived up to and I, for one, intend lo You is for a square deal.
