Tho question submitted by tho resolution adopted by tho coun cil Is a proposed amendment to tho charter authorizing on Issue of general obligation bonds to the amount of $65,000 for tho pur poso of refunding bonds to the amount of $20,500.00 liorotoforo, in 1011, issuod and sold for paving Main Street from tho brldgo to tho depot, and Sixth Street from Mala Street to Klnloek Avenue j and to refund tho bonds issued oa the samo unit, to cover deficit botwoon tho actual cost and tho original es timates, amounting to $12,501.56; and to refund tho unpaid portion ot tho bonde asuod for paving Klam ath avonuo end Intersecting streets bctwoon Main and Klamath avenue1, amounting approximately to $36, 658.51, togethor with nccruod and nccrulng Intorost. Tho nocosslty for tho council's submission of this proposod am endment arises from tho following tacts: s Tho bonds abovo roferrod to aro unpaid; $20,500.00 theroof matur ed for payment May 1st last, $36, 668.51 thorcof matured for pay- mont .tho first day of tho prosont month, $12,601.56 will mature for payment April 1st next. This city as a corporato entity plodgod its full faith and credit to tho pay ment ot thoso bonds at maturity; and It Is so nominated in each and every one ot those bonds? Those, bonds must bo paid; there ls no oscapo, even It estape wore desired -or ooUhPlutcd.' The aut- tniMlon of the qaestlon of refund ing thoso bonds, puts It squaroly up to tho people of this city to say whethor they aro in favor of res toring Its financial standing or not. Should tho amendment fall (o receive a majority vote. It will bo necessary for tho council to provldo the money by taxation. Tho alternative Is thcrcforo pro- ontod t0 the ftx pay0r8 ot Ins tho payment ot this delinquen cy ovor a nodes ot yoara or pay ing It In ono year in addition to other taxes. The Improsslon prevails a'mong Borne ot our citizens that tho gon oral public Is being called upon to liquidate an indebtedness for whioh tho property owners directly bene fitted aro primarily and directly rosponstble. In a measure, and to a cortaln extent that position Is meritorious. But, opposed to that contention, however meritorious, aro those facts. The property ownors whoso pro perty waa and Is primarily and now llablo for tho cost ot those Improvements, aro delinquent in tholr payments. Tho city is not in a position, financially, to dio, in tho properties at a' forced sale and pay the bonds. Rollanco could not be placed on private Individuals being purchasers at a forced salo, for the all sufficient reason that their money is worth raoro than 6 por cent. That bolng tho situation, nnd tho city as a whole bolng respons ible to tho holder of the bonds, It Is up to the city to provldo the funds necessary to mako good on Its contract and pledge ot Us cre dit. By ndoptlng the proposed amend ment tho taxpayers wilt .place the common council in a position to restore the financial standing ot the city. Tho city having paid' tho bonds will be In a position to at once 'advertise - the delinquent pro perties for sale and bid them In. If not redeemed, within the year, the title thereto vests in the city. If redeemed wthln the year, the money will be placed In a fund for the redemption of the refund ing bonds proposed to' be' Issued. The Impression that the owners of the -property primarily liable' will scape payment ot their obliga tions Is 'erroneous. The city stands to profit con siderably should property owners fall of redemption within a year; it may hold the properties for fut uro municipal purposes; sell cor tain of them at an advance, or leoso them for sundry purposes; lonso certain ot tho properties for manufacturing sites or sell Out right to tho highest blddor. Under tho circumstances thoro should be no hesitancy, when it is so ob viously noceesary that tho financial standing of the city must bo main tained. If It In to merit, In tho tut uro as In the past; tho confidence ot people having money, to Invest In municipal bond. . The peace and prosperity of each of our- cltlzeng- Is so intimately llnkod with our progress and de velopment as a city that tho pres ent situation must not bo tempor ized with, but faced fairly and squarely, on Tuesday, Nor. 8th, on Its morlts and In n spirit of loyalty to tho best Interests of the city. A municipality, which does not In thought, ombraco everything por mining tolts progress, and par ticularly hold tho community In terest ovor In tho forefront, must certainly fall ot hlghost attainment in Its usofulnoss as a governmental agency; othorwlso thore Is no Justi fication for Its oxlstonco as a, cor porato municipal entity.
