total amount uf money 'needed by

ginning January V, 1922 and ending
December 31 would be $8,368.81,
covering several services, materials
and supplies.

Oregon for 1921, which require the
amount of tho expenditures for the

TO PEDESTRMNS
Pitfalls for tha unwary yea,
araa for tha wary can ba found
wltkont an undue amount of eeerob
lag la almoat aay block of Kla
math Falls sidewalks, outside Mala

Main street that have not a great
deal to brag about. There' a stretch
oa tha south side of tba ilreet
between tbe Winters building and
aVghlh. atresia where tha pedea'.rlan
net steer a careful couree, for
Instance.
' But this article calls attention
mainly to the wretched condition
of tha board sidewalks In tba dla
tricta off Main street. Pine street
has a number of traps for the pad
rttraln. Boards are loose every
leW pacel ,nd with two .persons
walking aide by sldo, if one lags

step on one end of a loose board
aad raise the other end to a height
that will trip hla companldh.
' Protruding spikes to catch tbe
stapa of the wayfarer ara an un
limited source of danger. The writer
foreeook his usual cautious custom
of keeping to tbe street and taking
cbancea with autos yesterday, and
braved a trip around the Bellman
property, between Seventh and
Eighth on Pine, for tbe purposes of
investigation. With forewarning of
danger, the trip was made safely,
but the condition of tbe sidewalk ia
a disgrace. There can be no question
that property In the heart of the
city la valaable enough to bear the
coat of sidewalks. If the owner can
not pave It, the city certalaly has
condemnatory powers. -
The Uotallng block .-"Eighth
street, between Pine and High,' ta
aa bad. North and south of this
block the sidewalk is laid, but the
property owned by Rlehsrd Hotel
Ing, of the wealthy San Francisco
family, evidently cannot bear the
cost.
South of Klamath avenue there
are broken boards Innumerable In
tbe board sidewalks. Some of tbe
holea In the walk are large en
ough to let a person's body through.
Other are etx Inch cVevaaaea, visi
ble now but veritable traps thla
winter when tbe anow lay across
them. ,
It does not take a prophet to pre

sooner, there will ba an accldeat

In any one of a doxen blocks that
