O H odson , Esq., McMinnville, Or. Dear Sir: When all property is equally benefited, and have equal facilities for using the sewer, all are assessed alike in the city of Portland. This is found to be the most fair and equitable way of assessing. If a man owns four lots on the line of sewer, he pays twice as much as the owner of two lots. The plan outlined for McMinnville by Mr. Hodson is correct I think. The principle governing assess ments is, as outlined above, equal assessments for equal adventages. Yours sincerely, WILLIAM B CHASE, City Engineer. jMeui Goods Arriving Daily are offered at Bedroek Priées. R. Jacobson & Co., McMinnville’s Greatest Store. Mr. Simmons has bought the Roth traction engine. E ditor R eporter : For the last few weeks there has been more or less agitation in relation to the construction of the sewer on C street. As I have been one of the promoters of this public benefit., and have been more often misquoted than 1 have been quoted correctly, I beg your indul gence for a little time and space in your paper. For over twenty years the question of proper sewerage for the city has been discussed by those who wished to see the city take the place to which it was entitled. One of the most urgetit needs of any city is to get away with the refuse and garbage of the city/in order that the people may have and keep good health, and the first step along this line is the construction of proper sewers, and until last summer nothing but talk has ever been done. At that time a few of the public spirited citizens on E street decided that they would have a sewer, let it cost what it would. They commenced the work, and others at once took it up, until it was extended almost to C street, those along the lateral lines paying the main line sewer $25 for the privilege of connecting. They at that time offered me the same privilege for the same money, but it was not what I wanted, as it was not deep enough in the ground. I then offered $50 if they would put it down so that it was seven feet at my corner, and would pay in addition my part of the cost of the lateral sewer. But it could not be done. Then others along the line of C street said, “We must have a sewer.” And so the move was started. While upon tny trip to the east, I spent much time investigating the sewer system of the different cities that I visited. First, as to the construction of the sewer, and sec ond, as to the manner of assessing for the payment of the same. I found two systems. One was upon the cash value of the land; the other was up on the area of the land, the latter plan being the one most used, as it was considered worth as much to one lot to get rid of the sewage as it was to another. This is also the plan adopted by the city of Portland, as the fol lowing letter from the city engineer of Portland will show: count claimed to be given in other stores. This is admitted by a good many people, besides we have a Hat and Suspenders free of charge with every suit of clothes. The main secret in selling goods cheap is in buying, and this is just the point; therefore, we claim that our goods are the cheapest because we buy right and sell good goods. J CLEARANCE SALE of FURNITURE. Upon the investigation of our charter it was thought best to adopt the first system and assess the property upon the basis of cash values, which I believe will come nearer satisfying the majority of the people, and that is what should be done. The plans of the construction of the sewer are from plans and specifications that I received from th« city of Muncie, Ind., and are as complete as time and experience can suggest. I am sure that, when our sewer is in and complete and the property connected therewith that not one of the people who have it would be without for many times what it will have cost them, and they will then thank those who were the promot ers of one of the health preservers of the city. Respectfully Yours, O. O. HODSON. Notice to the Public. We never have had a time-worn stock of Furni ture, but we are making a Clearance sale just now of a nice, durable and medium grade of goods, and in their place will put in the best stock ever landed in McMinnville, both as to styles and quality.
