THE CITY OF KLAMATH FALLS NOW OWNS A
WHITE ELEPHANT.
IT OWNS A MUNICIPAL RAILWAY 20 MILES LONG
WHICH PAYS US NO TAXES AND NO DIVIDENDS.
WE HAVE ONE BUYER WHO OFFERS TO TAKE THE
ELEPHANT OFF OUR HANDS AND GIVE US THE FULL
PRICE WE PAID FOR IT.
THE OREGON, CALIFORNIA AND EASTERN RAIL
WAY COMPANY WILL TAKE OVER OUR RAILROAD AND
EXTEND IT THIS YEAR TO SPRAGUE RIVER AND EVEN
TUALLY TO BEND, AND GIVE US IN PAYMENT $300,000
INONDS WHICH IN TIME, SHOULD PAY OFF OUR BOND
ED INDEBTEDNESS OF $300,000.
MOREOVER, THE RAILROAD PROPERTY, WHEN
TRANSFERRED OUT OF CITY OWNERSHIP WILL BE
TAXABLE.
REMEMBER, THAT ON MAY 21ST YOU ARE VOTING
NOT ONLY TO RELIEVE THIS CITY OF A HEAVY BURDEN
BUT TO TURN NON-TAXABLE PROPERTY INTO TAX PRO
DUCING PROPERTY, AND AT THE SAME TIME GET A
RAILROAD BUILT TO SPRAGUE RIVER.
REMEMBER, THAT THE ELECTION OF MAY 21ST IS
MERELY THE LAST STEP THIS CITY IS CALLED UPON TO
TAKE IN GETTING A RAILROAD OUTLET TO BEND. IT
IS A STEP WE HAVE KNOWN WE MUST TAKE FROM THE
FIRST.
VOTE FOR THE TRANSFER OF THE MUNICIPAL
RAILWAY.
