The Vernonia-Hamlet route, therefore saves mileage to all the beaches along the Oregon Coast highway from Rock away to Seaside, and not merely to one section only. The somewhat higher expenditure would be justified by the fact that a much greater number of people would be served. It may be added, by way of correction of some of the figures stated in the Headlight’s article quoted above, the total distance from Portland to Tillamook via the Forest Grove-Wilson river route is 76.9 miles, not 68 miles. Con struction of the Orenco-Thatcher lake cut-off would lessen the distance to 74.6 miles but increase the cost to $2,938,706.

MILLER Report has it that some of those who signed the peti-j tion that the extra help in the city hall be dispensed with' and that the city recorder be required to collect water rent' did so under the impression that water rates would thereby be reduced. The measure if adopted can not possibly have' any effect upon water rates for several years to come. The reason is that bonds issued at the time of the in-' stallstion of the water system are due in 1934, and to pay these off the present high rates, including the minimum $2.00 charge are absolutely essential. Th*e amount saved from the water collector’s salary (provided some equally effective method of collection were devised) would have no effect upon the principal due at that time. No reduction in water rates, therefore, can be expected until after 1934. If they were lowered before then, the city would have to borrow money to pay off the bonds. That would mean more indebtedness, more taxation, and no hope of relief until we can get out from under. Every little helps, to be sure, but minor economies of themselves will not solve our tax problems, whether city, county or state.
