The state rights democrat. [volume] (Albany, Linn County, Oregon) 1865-1900, 1890-03-28


prepared TO present all others brought
D forward, each OF which win speak for II
: self. Albany wants sewers bad, and the
DRMocRAT whistles that it may get d
thorough system. Ithopes, though, that
! in different plans proposed there will be
no confusion that will cause delay. Here
Is the scheme:
"At the December election let the eiti.
xens OF Albany vote ON the question Of
bonding the city for $4,000, and, II car
rled, get II embodied in the cltys charter
by the next legislature. The bonds could
then be floated at from 4 TO 8 per cent
} interest. With the money let the city
put $4,000 into sewers. and own tho
system herself $4,000 into city hall,
including engine house and Jail, at
present site of No rs englne.house, and
$4,000 towards free bridge at Albany.
Towards the latter, no doubt, the county
would give $40 900, Benton county $4,000
and 10000 could be raised by suhscrip-
ton. This would leave 10000 for emer-
gencics.n
BoNpEp To rHF u P.--The rumorwhich
has becn in circulation for some time to
the eject that the Tongue Point property
was bonded to the Union Pacific, has al-
j most assumed the position Of an estab-
lished fact. Although the property has
been surveyed aud plated for some time,
II has been withheld from the real estate
markets. Whenever anyone asks one OF
the numerous owners 90 sell some OF the
property, he ie referred 90 the other own
ers, until he goes around the circle. Mr.
II Van Dusen was seen yesterday and
questioned concerning the rumor, but
his discretion would not confirm Il, nor
his hOneaiy permit him 20 deny Il. lie
did state, however, that II would be q
magnificent place for railroad termi-
nus, "a the water there Is deep, and
the point il directly opposite the main
channel OF the river.
/ That the Union Pacific has terminal
| facilities in this city bonded Is generally
known in Portland and not denied by
the officers, but just what property they
refuse to disclose The Option expires
the lst OF July, and then Tongue Point
will be sold or for salc.-Columbian.
EVERYBODY GoNG.--The hoard for the
Levy concert ON Friday evening, April 4,
opened this morning with over seventy
| five seats taken. The indications are
that every seat down stairs win be taken
during the week, so general IL the de-
sire 20 hear this famous. troup. So
great n rush is anticipated for the gal
lery also, that tickets for the same are
placed ON sale az w L Reads and Black
mans, at the regular price, 30 cents.
The rush will be equal 10 that ia Phila-
