Body of
ILL QUALIFIED
ELECTORS W
All qualified voters, whether pro
party uwnera or not, max vol to
morrow t tbn special election to
mand tbe city charter, which ear
rlta with It tha proposed Isane or
110,000 bonda (or the conatractlon
o( lbs Mllla Addition sewer. Tbla
la according to Police Judge A. L.
Leavltl.
Aa the amending or the charter
la a chanico In the law that gov
erns all the cltlren or the corpor
ation, It should be voted upon by a
majority or qualified electors. How
ever, It la not expected that a heavy
vote will bo cait at tomorrow'a
polli aa Interest up to thla time haa
ootbe en greatly mnnlfeated.
Mllla Addition rceldenta ancue that
aa a matter or Juitlce to that part
of the city, aa well aa for protec
tion of the health of the entire
community, the bonda thould carry
unanimously and tbe ballot propoaal
will no doubt receive solid aupport
In Mllla addition.
The argument against tbe bal
lot propoaal la that In placing the
bond question before tbe volar In
the form or a charter amendment It
bflnga on a situation whereby, If It
carries,- tbe next propoerd bond
Ixaun -aid require another change
In tha charter by general rota. Or
dlnarlly this wpuld not happen, but
In tbla apeclal Instance It la assert-
cd It la necpunry to validate and
make aaleablo tbe newer bonda. A
IfiO.OOO Imuo, voted m-arly two
years ago, has been refuted a num
ber of tlmoa by the bond buyera.
The proceedlnga loading up to to
morrow'a election have boon pawed
upon by aovoral attorneys, Including
Mlnor Teal and Wlnfrce, of Port
land It la nald, and all agreo that
the bonda will be sound and mark-
elabln If they are voted.
Should the Untie carry It Is pro
mised that work will start at once
giving employment to a number of
workers. In excavating, plumblnr
and carpentry work,
Tbn cost of construction will bo
borne about equally by the property
benefitted and by the city generally.
In other words tbe property that

about $30,000nnd tbn city pays the
other half, which Includon tho cct
of a septic tank. '

according to the Information receiv
ed at the sheriffs' office today.
Word that tbe party of Matamas
who are now acallng peaks In tbe

tern plated visit to Crater lake.
Tho passenger, Harry Hall, who

Considerable dlscutalon haa been
roused by the Herald's article or
yesterday, calling attention to the
deplorable condition or tbe local
cemetery. That there la a pressing
need for Improvement la generally
admitted. 80 rar no on haa sp-l
peared to argue that existing condi
tions are anything lesa than a dis
grace to tbe entire comaanlty.
Whether the general sentiment for
Improvement will cryitalllzo In def
inite action depends upon bow
strongly tbo public foals tho dl-,
grace of tbe shameful nwltet o,
Ood's acre. It waa aald today that
arrangements had been made to
take the mutter up at the next
meeting of the chamber of com
merce and endeavor to get that or
ganisation to direct some concerted
action for betterment.
Aa far as tbe Herald'a Investi
gation has gone, It would seem that
the cemetery Is permanently placed
In Ita preaent location.
A reader calls attention to the
tact that other cltlee have grown
to the point where residence dte
trlcta have aurronnded the commun
ity burial- grounds. But he aaeerta
that an attempt to move cemeter
ies haa never met with publfc fa
vor. Sentiment against tampering
with tha aepnlttuaa of : loved ease
Is too strong a tide to stetn. Usual
ly, says tbe reader, cemeteries re
main, but moat communities en
devor to make them attractive,
peacotul resting places for tbe bod
lea of those who have psssed, and
pleaaant places for surviving
frlenda to visit.
Ho calls attention to the attempt
or San Francisco cltltena to move
one or tho large cemeteries there.
Though $1,000,000 waa offered for
tbe site, and a legal battle waa
fought to the highest courts, tho
cemetery remained In Ita original
location, although sentiment "was
stirred to a point where many im
provementa were made.
Ashland la cited aa another In
stance where a community haa tak
en hold of tbe problem and made
Its cemetery, located within tho
city, a beautiful place that gives
the passer by no feeling of shud
derlng repugnace over the neglect
or tbo dead, but rather fills, him
with admiration for the roverenco
and respect that haa bullded auch a
beautiful tribute to tho memory of
the departed.
Once, aoveral years ago, a move
ment waa undertaken to move the
local gravea to a new cemetery alto
on tbo western banka of the river.
Just at the end of the Upper lake,
where a coro Indenta the hills. An
offer was received rrom nn ontalde
capitalist to remove tho bodies from
tbe preaent cemetery in return for
a deed to the property. Negotiations
foil through because tho alto hud
been dedicated and deeded by Ita
deceased donor expressly for ceme
tery purposes and It la doubtful Jt
a valid transfer could bo made. ,

see tb'at thero Is no discrimination
In rates and a city wlthoul adequate
protection cannot, have a basic rate
corresponlng with another with ade

From the tenor or his letter, it Is
apparent that the state tire marshal
belloves that tbla city Is without the
water supply deemed necessary by
tbe rating bureau and Klamath
Falls Is subject to a raise at the
discretion ot the bureau.
Tbo salient paragraph or the fire
marshal's letter follews:
It -will be or little use tor this
committee to take the matter up
with thla department or even with
the Oregon Insurance Rating Bur
eau because we have aald all we
bavo to aay in tbe matter. This de
partment has no Jurisdiction over
the matter ot rates other than thai
they shall be equitably and proper

without adequate protection cannot
have a basic rate corresponding with
that ot another city with adequate

Is nothing to consider other than
