ALBANY, March 81, 1879.

Editor Democrat:
desire to call the attention of the tax.
payers of this city to the fact that very i'm.
portant question, which greatly affects their
interests, is now pending before the City
Council. II is in reference to receiving and
building bridges across the several branches
OF the Santiam Canal by the city.
IL seems that petition was presented Sev.
eral years ago asking that the bridges already
built be received by tho city, aud that the
city assume all responsibility in reference to
building and keeping in repair all bridges
that.the Ditch Company might otherwise be
required to build in the future. This peti.
tion was acted upon, it is said but failed to
become a law for some reason. Whatever
may have been the motives Of the siguers of
that petition at that timo nothing can be
more certain than this; That tho petition
not only asked moro of the city than il
should have asked, but far moro than tho
majority of the persons whongnod itsuppos.
cd it did ask, When petition Of this kind
is presented tho person signing il should
know the full import of what no is asking.
Now wish to offer some reasons why that
petition should not only not bo granted, but
why tho city should not assume such re.
sponsibility at any time:
l The majority Of the tax payers Of this
city arc persons whose interests are not ben.
Gifted by the Canal, therefore thoy should
not be taxed to support the Canal Company.
: II would require the building and keep.
ing in repair Of about twenty-five bridges in
a few years, besides about three times as
many eross-walks, the cast Of which would
not be easily estimated at this time.
3 In receiving" the bridges tho city
would necessarily assume the responsibility
OF all accidents that might occur from them.
Any one can SEQ that where there are so
many bridges the responsibility is increased
as many times as there are bridges. The
size OF the bridge cannot lessen the responai.
biity OF the owner for any accident that may
occur. Ii the city should assume the re. !
sponsihility OF these accidents, then we. a.
taxpayers, would be liable at any timo to
be compelled to pay damages of 81 900 to
-, OOO-and even n greater sum. And this |
responsibility wonld not only bo imposed for
one year. but for all time to come.
These are only some of the main reasons |
why this should no: be done. The question
Is: shall all these responsibilities be taken |
from the shoulders OF the Canal Company |
and placed upon the tax.paying portion Of
our city: We are already under obligations
10 pay Si,5oO damages caused by the neglect
'i this same Company. Are We to have add
ID hundreds and thousands OF dollars, am
'aiisiied that the poog mau who pays take.
iPon his only house and lot will protest. II
: argued that the Canal enhances the value
II city property, which ia true. La. At the
aine time it IS this same property and this
anne city that brought the Canal sore. Take
way the city and Of what use or value would
he Canal be
