PEOPLE
Citizens of Marsnfield and
North Bend Must Settle
Their Own Disputes
CltlzonB of Mnrshflold ond North
nond, tho rival cltloa of Coob Bay
harbor, aro onco moro In tho throes
of a consolidation campaign, but

to tho municipal charter clauBO of
tho constitution, which relieves the
loglalaturo of tho Irksomo duty of
settling city charter dlsputos, tho
pooplo will havo to docldo tho ques
tion among thomselves.
Tho question of consolidation of
tho two towns, which aro both locat
od alone tho shoro of tho buy, and so
closo that" their corporato limits al
most meet, has bee,n tho bono of
contention between tho respoctlvo
cltlronshlps tho past fow years, has
como to tho point whoro an agree
ment hoH practically been reached to
morgo and work together undor ono
charter and government and under
tho namo of tho City of Coos Bay.
To Senator Coke, of Coos and Cur
ry, haB beou delegated tho duty of
drafting a bill and securing its ennct
mont into a law undor which tho con
solidation Is mado possible, but, af
ter ptudylng out tho effect of tho con
stitutional nmendmont ho has como
to tho conclusion that tho powor of
wiping out tho two charters and
adoption of a now ono rests solely
with tho people, and ho has so In
formed tho recognized lenders of tho
movoment. Ho has arrived at tho
conclusion that all tho legislature
can do Is to provide a general law
prescribing- tho roodo of procoduro
for municipalities which doslro to en
act or amend their charters, and then
pass tho wholo business up to tho
people to fight It out.
Senator Coko Bays tho majority of
tho citizens of both towns aro in fa
vor of consolidation, but that somo
disgruntled ones aro still fighting tho
movoment, and that potitions aro
now In circulation, asking for tho
chango, and bo expects thorn to ar-

this afternoon recommending tho ftp
proprlattoh of not loBs'tlmn $15,000
for tho construction and equipment
of a central powor plant for tho gon

Four years ngo an oxport electri
cian, W. II. Allan, of Snn Francisco,
was employed by tho stuto'to make
ostlmates of tho probnblo cost of hiicIi
a plant, and, In accordanco with hie
roport, an appropriation of $15,000
was mado for tho Installation of

nowal of contract with tho local com
pany upon ronsonnblo terms for tlic
sorvlco, and tho appropriation was
allowed to lapso.
It costu tho Btato about ? 11,000
per year for tho lighting of tho stnte
institutions in tho vicinity of ,8alain.
