SOME OF THE NEEDS
OF THE CITY CITED
The following wits the message de
livered last aleck by Mayor It. II. l’er-
igo to tile city council:
The past y«-ar has been a most, har
monious on«* In the work of the council
and I want to congratulate you all on
the way you have worked together.
While no big tilings have come up
for action, there Ims been gmsl ron-
structlve work in starting th«* East
Htate street Improvement, the pur
chase of an auxiliary tire truck, water
filing, etc.
A lot of street work lias lieen done,
so much in fact that work of this
nature, in the lattir ¡rnrt of the year,
has lieen badly handicapped.
Our fire loss 1ms I hm - ii almost nothing
and we have had alarms which con
vinces me that th«* work of the fire
marshal and fire department in pre
vention work is having considerable

If you can’t come, call us up.
effect and should Is* encourag«*d.
Our annual water shortage, now al-
most forgotten, is sure to come up
again next summer unl«*ss a way ÍR
found to get more water into our res
ervoirs during the irrigation season.
Tills is a htg Job and m«ist important
and I sincerely hope* you will give It,
a lot of careful consideration hooii .
There are three big items in partic
ular that I lielieve we should get un-
der way early next year.
First: The west approach to the
Highway should be pavtsl without de-
lay. This rough spot brings mor«* crit
icism to tlie council than any one
tiling I know of. Then* lias been much
talk of ¡Hiving this stretch but It has
never lM*en done and the way to get
it paved is to pave it and d«i it now.
Tlie Bancroft act permits the property
owners to ¡my such costs 10% per year
and such a ¡inqsisition will not hurt
anybody much. I earnestly hope that
tin* preliminary work then* can be
started at once and tlint. it can lie
paved early in the spring, la-fore the
tourist travel starts again.
Second: Our present auto park, ap
parently inadequate for much future
une, should either be abandoned for
larger quarters or Intensively im
proved at once. I do not favor' two
auto parka apd if it Is possible to se
cure a more favorable one we should
dp so and put all our efforts and im
provements on the new one.
.
Third: Our water supply is not up
to the standard that it should be, by
any means, and it is not too early to
lie thinking seriously alsiut it. Unless
wo take proper precautions, the old
pipe line will fail some time and we
will have nothing to fall tiack on.
Our Cold spring filing should be fol-
lowed up and as much progress made
on It each year as we can. In the
meantime we need a temporary boost
to our present supply and while some
work lias lieen done along this line, it
should tie pushed through until this
temporary supply 1 b available.
In closing, I request a flO-day leave
of absence, tieginning January 1, in
order to make a trip east.
Insurance Company Sued
The Apple Growers Association last
week filed suit against the Gr«*at
American Insurance Co., of New York,
for *.‘19.959. alleging that the concern
had written policies to that amount on
fruit of the organization, which had
ls*en lost during shipment. The apples
moved from Portland by water. Con
signments aggregating over * 00.900
lioxes were forward«*d by the steamer
lh-erfield last ye«r. They reached Jer
sey City «> liadly d«-eayed as to be
worthless. Tlie total value of the ap
ples. according to the complaint, was
*138,990. Freezing was given as the
probable cause of the damage.
/Apropos Auto Park
Doubtless it has occurred to many
that all three approaches to the city
of Hood River are in wretched shape.
Either the tiering has given way or
else no paving was laid in the first
¡dace. Assuming that one auto out of
1,000 which enters or leaves the city
uses an auto park, the thought occurs
should the city put *15,900 into paving
or fixing its approaches or should it
put that amount into an auto park, or
both?
In these days of budget pruning ft
isn’t likely we can have both, Let’s
have that which we need moat.
