taxes is a herculean job in most coun-
ties. An amendment was proposed to
the bill at one time during the session
to add $500 to the salary of the treas
urer, but this f2iled to 90 through.
There is bare possibility that the
Gill county salary bill may be resur-

to compensate the county treasurers

County treasurers of Oregon are all

of taxes out of the hands of the sher-

treasurers. The cause of the rising

MayOr Gets Opinions.

Ever since entering upon the du-
ties of this office, | have had the mat
ter under consideration and have dis
cussed 1t with many Of our citizens,
and, as result thereof, / have come
to the following conclusions;
public opinion is practically unan-
imous in favor of obtaining u better
purer and more adequate supply for
the city. As the first step necessary
to bring this about am satisfied
large majority of the people favor the
purchase Of the present water plant,
II such can be done on u fair and
equitable basis. There Is, however
some dssenslon to this, An lncon-
siderable few think the city should
furnish the supply and then operate
through the present water company
under some form Of contract or part
nership, Many more think the city
should not burden itself with the pres
ent plant, they regard as inadequate,
and, to large extent worn out, but
should construct an entirely new
plant, planning from the beginning
for population much greater than
we possess There is not much doubt
that II we ignored the rights Of the
present company, aud acted altogether
in a spirit of serismoss that this
would be the most economical thing
we could do, but the faIr-mndod pco-
pie, and by far the greatest number Of
them, believe that this should be done
only in the event that we are driven
to It by the attitude Of the water com
pany itself They believe that every
fair and honorable means should be
exerted to bring about an agreement
Of purchase between the city and the
water company which would he cQult-
able to both parties, This is, | be-
lleve, the overwhelming sentiment Of
the people, and, II rightly Interpret
their wishes, this IL what this council
should earnestly ondonyor TO hrnr
about /, therefore, recommend that
at this time the matetr be referred to

WOULD HAVE CITY
BUY WATER WORKS
Mayor Sleeves Urges the Taking Up
and Final Settling OF the Matter
by the Council.

Determined to bring about a settle
ment of the water question before the
end Of his administration that will
be satisfactory to the people Of Salem,
Mayor Sleeves last night sent a spe-
cial message to the city council rec
ommending that negotiations be en-
tered into with the officials Of the Sa-
lem Water Co., by the ways and means
committee,
The mayor recommends Confer-
ence between the members Of the com
mittee and the officials Of the COM
pany, as soon as possible, with any
other persons invited to the meeting
whose advice on the question may be
considered Of value.
The mayor has, by personal inquiry
ascertained the views Of the people
of the city relative to the acquisition
of the plant by the city, and sets these
views forth in his message, The re-
suits of all former negotiations with
the company have been abrogated by
the present council.
Following is the special message of
the mayor;
"To the Common Council of the City
of Salem:
Gentlemen: 1t has been my pur-
pose to bring before your honorable
body the water question, as soon as
each of you had become familiar with
the duties Of his office, and had had
time to study the proposition for him
self and to ascertain as nearly as pos
sible the wishes Of his constituents,
It seems now that sufficient time has
elapsed, and that the sooner the mat
ter is definitely taken up the better,
Former Efforts Reviewed.
1T would appear from the perusal
of the report of the committee hay
ing this matter in charge last year
that the water company was very re-
luctant to enter into negotiations with
the preceding administration, and
only consented to do 50 after cast.
iron agreement was entered into be.
tween II and the council that the Coun
Gil would purchase the plant at an
appraised valuation fixed by a board
consisting Of the company's engineer
one engineer selected by the council
and, II necessary, third engineer
selected by these two, BY the terms
OF this contract the valuation fixed by
these engineers would be final, anC
the council agreed to purchase at thai
price. 1t would appear, however
that, even after this agreement haC
been entered into, objections and de
lays were interposed at every point, 81
that II was impossible to accomplish
anything the past year. l am no
stating these matters as facts of m!
own knowledge, but as what apear
from the report of the committee OIL
