CONTEMPLATED IMPROVEMENT.

This paper may prematurely give
away a secret not as yet ready for
general circulation when the an
|nouncement is made that the Odd Fell
lows are contemplating filing in the
vacant space on their lots at the
southeast corner Of Main street and
First avenue, adjoining the hall to the
south, with one story brick building
to extend as far back as the hall.
Plans have been drawn and submitted
for the building, but SO far no definite
action has been taken by the lodge.
Our informant intimates that the addi-
tional floor space would be occupied
by H. ]. Desmond, who already occu-
pies the corner store room with his
hardware stock, and that would indi-
cate that Mr.. Desmond has so much
confidence in the future OF Oroville
that he is preparing to take the ini-
tiative in the matter Of spreading out
We trust that our informant ia correct,
and that the Odd Fellows will set q
|good example by starting the improve
|ment ball rolling as early in the
|spring as work can be carried on. A
brick building filing that existing gap
on Main street would be a great i'm
provement to the business part of the
town.

OFF WITH THE OLD,
ON WITH THE NEW.

Monday evening the old council met
Ifor the last time, presided over ny
Mayor ]. F. Samson, and cleaned up
the business on hand so that the new
mayor, DR.. F. 8. Beale, and council
will start in with clean slate. The
retiring members Of the council are
DR.. F. s. Beale, who has been pro-
lmoted to the mayorship, and George
lBartell. The new councilmen are Chas.
10. Sterling and L. w. Barnes, well
known and capable citizens.
It is only just at this time to express
la full measure Of praise and commen-
|mendation to the old administration,
headed by the retiring mayor, ]. F.
|Samson Mr.. Samson leaves the office
with a most creditable record, made
possible by the cooperation OF coun-
Gil in which every man has given OF
|his time and ability to the best inter-
tests of the town, and that without an
instance Of unseemly friction. They
have all pulled together. exercising
wisdom and judgment In the conduct
|of public affairs that marks the ad-
|ministration az one OF the best, most
careful and economical In the history
|of Oroville. The administration was
confronted with very serious prob
lem a year ago when the largest source
|of income was cut off by the enact
|ment of the prohibition law. The ex-
penses of the town government had
Ito be met with diminished revenue,
yet instead OF running behind, consid-
cradle Of the Indebtedness has been
Cancelled. It is a most creditable show
ing, and the people Of the town are
indebted to the mayor and council for
making such record. The adminis-
tration has been one that future ad-
ministrations could we'll copy after,
and by doing so continue the excell-
ent record established.
And in the new organization of
the town government the public will
find the same admirable system con-
tinued. DR.. Beale as the head Of the
town government, is well equipped by
experience to continue the admirable
work in which he has ably assisted in
the past two years. He has served the
town as councilman a greater length
of time than any other citizen of the
place who has held that office. and
has always been firm advocate Of
economy. He is fair, Just and conser-
vative. and has the backing of a we'll
balanced council. At the end of hts
term we feel confident that it can be
said of his work, as 1t can be sai6 of
that Of the retiring mayor. well dona.
