HARD SURFACE ROAD
TO JUNCTION MAY Be
BUILT WITHIN YEAR
COUNTY COURT SEEMS FAVOR
ABLY DISPOSED REGARD
ING THE PLAN.

A hard surfaced road from Pendle-
ton TO Pilot Rock Junction is not an
imrobabllity within the next year A
delegation OF 20 prominent local taX-
payers waited upon the county cour;
yesterday afternoon, urging such a
highway and the court, while not
committing itself, seemed fayorahly
disposed toward the proposal, espe-
cially since property in Pendleton ID
to be subject to the road tax next
year
Though there is some question as
10 the legality of the law which
makes all municipal property subject
TO road taxes, the county court, act
ney. will levy d road tax against all
property in incorporated towns and
cities as well Rs against country
property. Under this iaw, the court
must spend at least 20 per cent OF
the money paid in for road taxes
within the district from which It is
derived The total road tax which
Pendleton property will nave to pay
will be approximately $4,000 and this
will be sufficient probably for a
hard surface road to the terminal
yards.
The court holds the tentative view
that IL the people OF Pendleton wan:
their part Of the road money spent
upon this highway that it will agree,
Inasmuch as the court Is compelled to
spend the major part Of this $40, coo
within the limits OF District 35, the
objection from taxpayers in other
parts Of the county, which would
otherwise arise. win be largely elm
mated.
The distance from Pendleton to
Pilot Rock Junction is a little more
than four miles Part Of the unpav-
ed distance is within the Pendleton
city limits and the city would prof.
ably be called upon TO build a pave
ment to its boundaries Another mile
runs along the Eastern oregon State
Hospital property and Senator Bur
CESS. who was at the meeting yester-
day. was under the impression that
the state would pay for this distance
This would leave the county court
only about three miles to build. Good
hard-surface road viii cost between
$4,000 and $1,000 a mre. it is estimat-
ed
Judge Marsh yesterday told the del
egation that County surveyor Brad
ley has been busy surveying a route
for good road to the junction. Al
first. he said. 1t was thought neces-
sary to go over the hill but now the
consent Of heretofore objecting land
owners to give right Of way will al
inmate the necessity of going over
the hill. In this event. the river will
probably have to be crossed and the
road run down the south bank,
A good road TO the junction, as
pointed out by the business men, Is
necessity II PendletOn Is to secure
the patronage of the employees Of the
terminal yards now being built

PUBLIC UTILITIES
HERE ARE ASSESSED
HALF MILLION LESS
STATE TAX COMMISSION CAUSES
LOSS OF ABOUT $4,000 TO
THE COUNTY.

BY assessing the public utility
property in Umatilla county over a
half million dollars less than year
ago. the state tax commission has
caused a loss Of about $4,000 in taxes
to the county. The reason for the re-
duction in the valuation Of the pub.
lie service property when there was
slight raise In the valuation of the
other property is ineNplicable to To-
cal people and TO local tax authori-
ties
The assessed valuation OF the prop.
erty of the railroad and other public
utilities in Umatilla county last yeaf
was $1I,634,955.Sl and Assessor
Strain has just received word from
the tax commission that the valua-
ton this year has been fixed at $1I-
053.633.2S, a reduction of S5Sl,S22.03
The average tax in the county last
year was about 10 l-2 mills and or
this basis the loss in revenue to the
county is approximately $4,000. which
loss must be made up from the other
property
Asked for an explanation of the re-
duction, Assessor Strain admitted he
could offer none. He has nothing TO
do with assessing public utilities and
had been expecting an increase in the
| assessed valuation commensurate
with the increase in the other prop.

OWNERS Of
SOUTH MAIN PROTEST
AGAINST ASSESSMENT
OF INSTALLING STORM
SEWER THERE.

A protest by property owners OF
South Main street against assessing
their property for the cost of digging
up the street and laying a storm sew
er from Bluff TO Railroad streets was
presented to the city council last ev-
enlnE. The storm sewer was laid in
connection with the recent improve
ment of South Main street from
Bluff to High and was necessary 10
carry off the water coming down the
hill during rains. However the
property owners take the stand that
the sewer should have been laid at
the time the original paving Of Main
street was done and that they should
not be made to pay for the mistake
OF past councils No action was ia
ken other than to refer 1t TO the
street committee.
The contract for the improvement
OF Monroe street was let last night

Co. for 32097.25 and work will be

East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1915-12-02
Best Admits the
Vice Element is
Supporting Him

If there was need of any
further evidence that or.
ganized vice is behind DR..
Best in his race for mayor
that proof has been furnish
ed by DR.. Best himself.
Yesterday afternoon DR..
Best visited the East Ore
gonian office and was per-
sonally invited by the editor
to make denial, (if he could)
of the charge that the vice
element in Pendleton is
backing his candidacy and
is organized in his behalf.
Space in the East Oregonian
was offered him for such a
statement. He declined to
make such a denial and ad-
mitted to the editor, in the
hearing Of other members
of the staff, that those fore
es are generally supporting
him.
Upon this issue, more
than anything else, the
East Oregonian bases its
case against DR.. Best. No
man is worthy of election as
mayor of Pendleton who
comes before the people
with a gang of bootleggers,
hangers on and bawdy house
magnates working in an or
ganized way in his interests.
The East Oregonian has
documentary evidence of
such organized work and
has positive evidence such
work has been underway
for weeks past.
The issue for next Mon
day is clearly drawn. The
question will be whether
Pendleton shall enter the
prohibition period with the
bOotlegging element in con.
troll of the city or shall BY
electing John Montgomery
as mayor make a bona fide
effort to obey the law of the
state enacted by the sover-
ign voters of Oregon a year
ago.
1t is proven conclusively
where the bootleggers stand.
Where do other people stand
on such an issue?
