have decided In hire (olone!
Howard Hansen, corporation counsel
from Seattle, to furnish them with a
"better plan" with which to oppose
Ihe recently initiated rcbondiii"- plan
submitted by over -iin voters nf our
city as a solution of our paving prob
lem. Tin- law under which the initiated
mca-tiic ua- pte-enled reads as follow-,
taken from ordinance V2 I. see
lion pa-. s 1 07-I0t of the charter
'f the city of Medfonl.
"It any ordinal , charier or
amendment to the charier id' aul city
shall be proposed by initiative peti
tion, said petition shall he filed wilh
the rccoider and he -h;ill transmit it
to the in i ses-iou ol t'ic conii' il,
who -.hall (lieu either ordain or reject
the same, and if the council shall re

action on the measure proposed by
the initiative petition. the mayor
shall not have power io vein either
of said measures."
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.
