Letters From
The People
Editor Herald:
It I absolutely refreshing to note
that one member of our city govern
nient la taking an Intereat In tho
condition ot ho sidewalks over our
town.
The action of Councilman . O
Smith In making a survey of the
dangerous spots, and hla Intent to
sco that they arc repaired, ahould be
applauded by every thoughtful citi
zen. Asldo from the phsleal danger to
every man, woman and child that haa
to walk our streets Is the added pos
sibility ot heavy damage suits tor
broken, limbs, or perhaps lois of life
"What Is everybody's business. Is
nobody's business" Is certainly appli
cable to the system that prevails In
the care ot our streets, and while the
plea of "No funds" Is always made
as n reason why no work Is done
upon them, U would seem that there
is surely enough to take care of e-
rentlal things.
Take a walk up the raved street
Ninth or Tenth, and )ou will ob
servo tbe gutters absolutely (ull of
mud, in many places. At the Intersec
tion of Ninth and Lincoln streets the
mud is over tho top of tbe curbing
and averages about six Inches deep
across tho entire street. This dirt bas
been there ever since the storms of
last winter. (Ninth and Jefferson is
almost as bad.)
AVhen rains come, and snows melt,
the water stands at this corner so
deep that' rubber boots are necessary
if one cares to make tbe crossing.
Gutters In the paved sections all
over town, excepting Main and Klam
ath Avenue, are In the same condi
tion full of dirt and filth. It is to
be hoped that our city fathers will
remedy these conditions before It
freexes up (or the winter.

HELIUM GAS FOR

BY NAVY LEADER
FOIIT WORTH, Tex., Dec. 13.
Hope that congress will see the pos

cause of Its peace time possibilities
The plarjt Here, which Is one of
two In the United States, was shut
down at midnight November 30,
pending further appropriation by
congress to maintain it. The other
plant, located at Petrolla, Texas, haa
been closed since July 1, 1921, the
end o( tho last (Iscal year.
Influence Asked
Representatives In congress have
been asked to old In Influencing that
body ,to Increase tbe appropriation
(or maintaining tho Fort Worth
plant. Commander Olson expects the
plant to be shut down only for a
short time, he said, until congress
can make suitable provision after
it convenes December 5. Several hun
dred thousand dollars will be neces

full time basis, he said.
Established In 1918, the helium
plant bore has beeq engaged chiefly
In experimental work whllo produc

has been expensive, Commander Ol
