/ OAK GREEK, Jan. %, 1899.
The people OF the neighborhood met a
the school house last Sat. eve to listen t
the program rendered by the Literary
Society.
Much interest seemed to be taken in
the meetings by the people, as long be.
fore the hour appointed the house was
hlled to its utmost capacity. The dis
cussion OF the question "Resolved that
capital punishment should be abolish
ed'' proved to be warm contest before
the conclusion of the argument was
reached. A number of speakers re-
sponded, making good points on both
sides, the argument being so evenly con-
tested it seemed hard for the judges to
make up the their minds as to which side
had fairly won the question, which, at
last resulted in their decision being for
the Affirmative and l for the negative and
yet many of those present declared that
the negative should have been given the
decision. However all resulted in peace
and good will as always prevails among
the people of Oak Greek.
The usual 20 minutes OF recess was
given for social conversation which is
aIways enjoyed by the jolly crowd.
After recess a mum Der OF recitations
were rendered by members present, and
Mr.. ID. S. Smith was called on to relate q
Butter story which was quite comical
being much enjoyed by the crowd which
greeted him with great applause.
Mr.. W. S. Thompson. the critic, re-
ported.
The subject for discussion at the next
meeting Will be Resolved that air wave
theory of sound is incorrect" The chief
disputants on the affirmative will be w.
5. Thompson, negative j. l.. Baker, who
will each have q number of colleagues
All persons wishing to hear the dis
,cpssion of this question, also to spend a
social evening with the people OF the
Oak Greek Society are cordially invited
to be present on Sat, eve Jan. 2S, 7:30.

neer, street superintendent, acting ar
thal and councilmen GaIbraith, Dannals,

showing the following:
To the Honorable, the City Council Of
Albany, Oregon:
GRNTLEMRN I'm obedience to the city
charter, submit for your consideration

debt, sos, 900; floating indebtedness,
$ll ,604; total oebt. less cash in treasury
Of $l100, is $I05. .504 This ig an increase
in the debt over lastl, ear OF s454l.
This increase In the debt has 10 q
measure been caused by the building Of
the Third street water supply line for fire
purposes, which has cost the ciay $I228.
The repairing OF the engines and appar-
atus Of the fire department at cot Of
about $500, and the rebuilding OF the city
jail at an expense OF 1851 so.
The receipts OF the city from taxes the
past year is $1,000 less than the receipts
from the same source ior the year 1897.
The delinquens taxes now amount to
about $500. The comparative state
ment OF the current sxpentes OF the city
for the past year shows that the cost OF
maintaining the city affairs, was s2I97
more than for 1897, while the receipts
from all sources was considered less than
that OF 1897.
This and the increased expenses as en-
umerated above is the cause OF the iu-

The amount necessary to meet the
current expenses Of the city for the en-
suing year, 10 estimated about as follows:
