REMONSTRANCE
AGAINST ANY
IMPROVEMENT
TRYING TO DEFEAT PAVEMENT
OF MARION STREET WITH A RE-
MONSTRANCE TO DELAY START
ING WORK FOR SIX MONTHS.

Some property owners are making
desperate hard fight to defeat the
improvement of Marion street. The
remonstrance, If it succeeds will kill
the improvement for six months, and
the city will be put to the expense Of
advertising over again for street,
the paving Of which is called for by
the property owners, and should be
rushed. 1t is the one big street that
can be put through, the pavement be-
ing SO feet wide and extending from
Water to Fourteenth.
The improvements will cost $50,OO0
and there is only one other fine resi-
dence street paved clear through. 1t
looks like a straight fight to defeat
an Improvement because the proper
ty owners cannot quite agree on ma
terial to be used. The remonstrance
ought not to succeed, and the improve
ment Of the street ought to begin very
early in the spring, IL 1t cannot be
completed this fall.
The property owners are to meet
and discuss the matter at the city hall
week from next Friday evening.

CUT OUT or
ELECTION
SALEM THIS YEAR, FOR THE
FIRST TIME, HAS A NON-PARTI-
SAN ELECTION-OFFICERS MAY
biz ELECTED AT THE PRINlAR-
les.

The registration for city primaries
and election, which began last Monday
at the city hall, is the first non-par-
tisan registration since the lnaugura-
tion Of the direct primary law several
years ago. Under the present amend
mont TO the city charter, which was
adopted at the general election last
December It Is not required that the
elector record his party affiliations
This seems to fiji a long-felt want
among voters, and many favorable
comments are heard regarding It's pro-
visions. In fact the sentiment is al
most universal in IT'S favor.
The amendment as adopted, Is the
product OF the editor of The Capital
Journal and was adopted by a strong
vote, which has grown to stronger
sentiment since It's adoption. The
plan, as adopted, Is new to the West,
and Salem IS the first Western city to
hold It's primaries on strictly nom
partisan principles. A few Eastern
cities have adopted this form Of pri-
mary, among them being Des Moines,
Iowa, where II has met with almost
universal approval.
The coming city primaries will be
held on November 4, at which time a
number Of offices will he selected
For city recorder Chas. f. Elgln, the
present incumbent. and Earl Race
are the only candidates so far men
toned. and, according to the pro-
visions Of the charter. II no other can
dldate appears, the primaries will
amount to an election for this POSI-
tion.
