3IERITORIOUS AMENDMENT.

~ !.
Under the city charter as it now
stands the city must pay for the i'm
provemen: Of the intersections when
street work is done. When Main and
Court streets were paved the part of
the expense falling upon the mu-
nicipaAty amounted TO $4,000. 1t
was considerable portion of the ex-
pense and the payment of that am
cunt took all the surplus coin the city
had.
Since the first paving work was
done other streets have asked for
paving and several streets have Pc
titioned for macadam. That work
has not been done and the failure of
the improvement was due more than
anything else to the inability of the
city to meet its part of the expense
IT other words the present charter
tends to delay rather than to promote
street improvements. This will al
ways be the case so long as the char
ter remains as it is.
Another unsatisfactory provision of
the present charter is that outside
the intersections each property own
er must pay for all work done in
front of his property-no matter what
that work may be. This often causes
grave injustice. For instance when
Main street was paved a street sewer
had to be constructed and it extends
down the center Of the street to the
river. At the south end OF Main
street the sewer is small and as It
nears the river 1t necessarily becomes
enlarged. So it cost far more to lay
the sewer through the last block and
the property owners in that block
were heavily assessed to meet the ex-
pense. Yet they received no more
benefits from the street sewer than
do the property owners at the up
per end Of the street.
When this work was done the in
Justice Of the system was plainly seen
yet the council had no alternative.
1t was necessary to make each prop
erty owner pay for such work as was
done in front Of his property. To
have done otherwise would have been
q violation Of the charter.
Under the charter amendment that
no Hraf +aI
street work the city council Is given
wide latitude. The city may pay for
work when the council considers II
Just that the city should do so and the
property owners in the Improvement
district are 70 be assessed In accord
ance with the benefits to be derived
from the work that is done. Under
this system II the council acts with
proper judgment exact justice will be
meted out to all property owners.
Under the charter change proposed
and which will be voted on along
with other amendments May the
city Will have power TO do what II
considers right At the present time
the powers Of the council are arbi-
trarily defined and the city is often
forced to be unjust even when It does
not wish to be.
What do you think, Mr.. Voter. Is
not the street Improvement amend
ment a good thing and should It not
be adopted?

The Commercial club is entirely
consistent in favoring the street i'm
prOvement charter amendment. That
amendment looks to providing more
street work for Pendleton and if there
- anything under the sun that is now
needed here it is some improved
streets.
