CITY TAKES THE STREET

Unless some unexpected obstacle
arises to prevent, Silverton will own the
street which citizens guaranteed to build
for the Silver Falls Timber company
at the time the mill was established
here. AT a special meeting Of the COM
mon council held Thursday evening of
last week the report of the viewers
was read placing the valuation of the
street at $5,675.26, exactly what the
company is said to have paid to build
the street. AS only small part of the
street is within the corporate limits of
the city and the remaining part is on
land owned by the North Side Invest
ment company, some of the councilmen
present objected to accepting the report,
and others who are said to be opposed
to paying that amount for the street
were absent. The matter brought out
SOME warm discussions, and one or two
of the councilmen actually gave evil
dence of anger. Davis opposed the
proposition because he thought the coun-
ell had no legal or moral right to invest
the city's money in such manner.
Harwood seemed to be of the same opin-
ion, and it appeared from what was said
that the four couneilmen present, Barr,
Allen, Harwood and Davis. were going
to split and throw the responsibility up
on the mayor if a decision were to be
reached. But Councilman Harwood fin.
ally decided to vote in the affirmative,
and when Councilman Barr made mo-
tion to accept the report of the view
ers and draw warrants in payment of
the street, he supported the motion. The
motion prevailed, with Davis voting
alone in the negative .-Silverton Trib-
