MAYOR MAKES A TALK
FAVORS PUBLIC IMPROVE
MENTS ALONG JUDICIOUS
LINES.
Chief Executive Would Welcome
Commission Form of Govern
ment for Dallas.

In addressing the council Monday
night, when the aldermanic body en-
: tered upon new fiscal year, Mayor
Van Orsdel took occasion to thank
the retiring members for their faith
J full services, and also the holdovers
: for their hearty cooperation with
him in administering municipal af-
fairs. The chief executive stated
that the financial condition of the
city is better than one year ago, but
reminded the council that there were
more public improvements needed
than the available money would per-
nit of. Mayor Van Orsdel stated
that the more he saw of the present
system of conducting city affairs the
more impressed he became with the
commission form of government. One
councilman, he said, had spent fully
one-thifd of his time the past year
looking after the streets, for which
valuable service he received not one
penny. This, he contended, was not
right or just, and he would welcome
the day when Dallas was under the
approved form of government.
Mr.. Van Orsdel told the street COM
mittee that its duties during the COM
ing twelvemonths would be varied
and numerous; that much needed
work remained to be performed. A
large number of new buildings, he
said, are now in course of construc-
tion throughout the city and better
ments to thoroughfares were being de-
manded from all sides. He admon-
ished the committee against extrava-
gance in its expenditures. In speak
ing of street improvements the mayor
incidentally mentioned that wide
streets work hardship upon owners
Of abutting property, and thought that
when the town was laid out mistake
was made in this particular. The
mayor paid high compliment to the
contractors who hard surfaced Dallas
streets by saying that he had recently
visited several cities in the William
ette Valley and had found none bet
ter.
Last year, the mayor said, he had
pledged himself to use his power to
reduce water and light rates, and he
reminded the council that the latter
had been adjusted and the railroad
commission was now working on the
former. He felt confident that Dal-
las would get a reduction when the
commission concluded its investiga-
tions and reported its findings.
In conclusion Mayor Van Orsdel
sought the cooperation of the alder
men in all matters of public concern,
laying particular stress on judicious
action with regard to expenditures.
He emphatically declared in favor of
but demanded that
those Improvements should be made
along as economical lines as possible.

yard and a hardware store are among
the largest concerns burned.
