TWO AMENDMENTS
TO CHARTER PROPOSED
One Is Giving City Authority
Over Vacant Lots---0ther
About Collections

Those who are interested in the pro-
per care of the city streets and parks
and also that of vacant lots in the city,
will have chance to vote ON an amend
ment to the city charter at the city
election December 4, in which it is pro
vided that the city council be given au-
thority that is now vested in a park
board which has no authority to en-
force its orders.
The proposed amendment provides
that the council shall have power to pro
hibit, regulate and control the planting
trimming and preservation as well as
maintenance of all shade trees. plants
and flowers in the streets and public
ways. 1t also gives the council author
ity to order the removal of weeds, and
rank vegetation from vacant lots and
the streets.
Another proposed amendment to be
voted on December provides that any
contract entered into by the city for g
greater period than five years shall be
null and void from date OF contract
Also that in the employment of labor
by the city preference shall be given tC
citizens of the United States, residents
of the city.
Just at present the city seems to have
no legal procedure for the enforcement
of the collection of assessments against
real estate. To remedy this bill fol
the amendment of the city charter vii
be submitted to the voters December
4, which provides that the recorder, up
on order Of the city council must give
10 days notice by personal service OF
the property; or if nonresident, by
advertisement 10 days in daily news
paper, before any money assessed upoI
property under the authority of th'
charter and ordinances of the city car
be collected. It further provides thai
the city council shall have power to pro
vide by ordinance for the collection Of
all liens authorized by the charter whicl
are on may hereafter become delinquent
and that this may be done by sale Of
property or issuance of delinquency Ger
tifieates which may be foreclosed il
three years in the same manner that de
linquent state and taxes are foreclosed
In other words, the bill gives the cit,
authority to collect assessments against
real estate in the city.

Scarcity Of Pheasants
Due to Sleet and Snow

1t is the opinion of sportsmen in gen
eral, in placing the cause of the scarcity
of game birds during the past season,
that SHOWS of last winter and the wet
spring following were the causes that
made the game scarce. Sportsmcn while
looking for birds interviewed farmers in
the country around about Salem and in
the districts south and west, and the re-
port is that last winter the sleet and
snow got on the feathers of the pleas,
ants until their wings dragged the
ground. In this condition they could
secure no food and dropped on the snow
from exhaustion.
In the spring the rain was the cause
of the death of the young broods, All
these things taken together caused the
flocks to be greatly reduced and left
much to be desired in the past season s
shooting.

extraordinary market has opened up for

"The extraordinary demand on this
country has stimulated industry and in
many cases the profits are eXtraordin-

number of people are employed at rates
of pay above normal, with the result
that our supply of available goods, al
