A MUNICIPAL REFORM PROGRAM.

The property owners of the Seventh ward unanimously adopt
ed the following municipal program of public policies;
4#4&+&%& @##*# y
Resolved That we endorse the initiative measures sub
mied by the city council for assuming the cost of
strucng sewers in South Salem and North Salem and
Union and Marion street sewers provided the city govern
men guarantees to us in writing that property owners pay
only for the house connection to the alley or the street sewer
Resolved That demand the enforcement of the popu
lar loan plan Of selling bonds in small denominations to the
residents of the city provided in the city charter we
believe contrary to the best interests Of the citizens to
sell longtime bonds in the east and send the interest
We demand that all city officials the citizens and
the taxpayers only and not the corporations and contractors
doing business with the city, We demand that public
wants elected by votes other interest master
We demand that all of violation of state laws in the
city and coming under the control jurisdiction Of the
chief of police be taken before the city recorder and tried
and that all justice and constable fees collected in such
be turned into the city treasurer provided by law.
We demand department Of public works organized to
give the city public work at cost of labor and materials and
that all concrete bridges crosswas sidewalks and pave
mens be built by the city at actual cost to- the property
owners. n
We demand that the city be governed within the budget
appropriations and be put on cash basis,
The principle issue is that sewer bond issue be granted only
upon condition that it be clearly understood
The charter amendment reads that the assessment against the
citizen shall be limited to the first block "ony"
This can be construed to two thngseher all the sew
er or lateral already built in that block the house connection
only
If the city saw fl to build lateral or main sewer or
branch through block the of the block should not be
held for ibut only for their house connections with it.
If sewer adions block and the of the block wish
to unite and lay alley to the city sewer that their
right and that is all they should ever pay
There has been much careless work and much fanes
in this whole enterprise and much disposition to cnch
the little property that is up the citizens to say Just
what they mean
The city administration should be given clearly to under
stand what the property understand the bill to mean
ard let the next city engineer and city attorney take notice
The rest of the municipal reform program is aimed at public
policies that mean the protection of the citizen and property
owner AGAINST various forms Of egalized robberes
Let all candidates take warning that the city government
must be for the people and not for the interests
