MAYOR'S ANNUAL MESSAGE Mayor's Office, Portland, Oregon, January 3, 1899. To the Common Council, City of Portland: Gentlemen—Complying with the requisitions of the charter, I here- with submit to you my annual message and report: RECEIPTS. 1897. 1898. Taxes $248,044.71 $ 227,836.57 Taxes, delinquent 35,885.53 114,243.55 General licenses 123,163.95 123,587.80 Municipal court 3,436.80 2,166.00 Miscellaneous 6,093.51 16,333.99 Sale of bonds ($430,000.00) and premium 536,774.73 $416,624.50 $1,020,942.64 EXPENDITURES. Expenditures $599,187.09 $ 566,126.96 It is very gratifying to yourselves and to the citizens of Portland that the credit of our city stands as high as it does. The charter authorized the City of Portland to sell $450,000.00 of 5 per cent, bonds, to run for a period of thirty years, for the purpose of taking up the outstanding warrants that had been issued and not paid for want of funds. Your Committee on Ways and Means advertised for bids on the bonds. The high premium offered gave the city money enough to pay the outstanding warrants by issuing but $430,000.00 of the bonds, instead of $450,000.00. Almost all of the outstanding warrants have been paid; the remainder will be taken up as fast as presented to the Treasurer for payment. The payment of these warrants will clear off the last dollar of floating indebtedness, and put the city on an actual cash basis; and by the provisions of the charter we are compelled to remain so, as no debt or liability shall be incurred unless the money is in the funds to pay the same. Economy must be exercised to enable the different departments to give efficient service on the amount allotted for their support. 16 MAYOR'S MESSAGE. THE BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS. Is in our city an experiment. Many cities which have transferred to a Board of Public Works the charge and execution of all improvements and the charge of all bodies in the city, the execution of whose duties requires an expenditure of money, have been highly gratified with the trust reposed in that body; the legislative branch of the city gov- ernment remaining in the City Council, who inaugurate improve- ments and must legislate on the finances, authorizing all expenditures, are relieved from the burden of letting contracts and carrying out in detail the execution of the same. I am satisfied when our people become conversant with the working of the different departments they will be well satisfied with this provision of the new charter.

River View was established on land purchased by Henry W. Corbett and then sold on an interest-free note to the River View Cemetery Association, an organization formed by Corbett in association with Henry Failing, William S. Ladd and others. The Association adopted its initial bylaws on December 4, 1882 and remains a non-profit endowment care facility. “Owners of Interment rights in the cemetery become part of the River View Cemetery Association, thereby becoming owners of the cemetery” (River View, c2011). From its beginnings, River View Cemetery was seen as a major milestone in Portland‟s development; a beautiful, serene, well-designed and maintained final resting place for the city‟s dead. Its graceful, almost park-like, natural setting quickly became a popular recreational destination for Portlanders, complimenting the project‟s primary purpose.

  • Jason Lee Was Selected As the Leader of the Missionary Party
    CHAPTER LXII METHODIST CHURCH HISTORY In the spring of 1833 Rev. Wilbur Fisk issued an appeal in the Chris- tian Advocate and Journal arid also in Zioiz'g Herald, asking for volun- teers to go as missionaries to the Indians in the Oregon Country.Meet- ings were held in the various Methodist churches on the Atlantic seaboard, and funds were raised to pay the expense of sending missionaries to the country beyond the Rocky Mountains. Jason Lee was selected as the leader of the missionary party and received his appointment on July 17, 1833.His father, Daniel Lee, was born in Connecticut, as was his mother, whose maiden name was Sarah Whitaker.Mr. and Mrs. Lee moved to Vermont, where they lived for fifteen years, and later moved to Stanstead, in Canada, in 1800.Jason Lee was born at Stanstead in 1803. Jason Lee was 6 feet 3 inches high.He spent his youth and early manhood working in the woods of Canada. He was converted when he was twenty-three years old.The following year he entered Wesleyan Academy, at Wilbraham, Mass., of which Dr. Wilbur Fisk was president. He offered his services to the Missionary Society of London to go as a missionary to the Indians of Canada.While waiting to hear from the Wesleyan Missionary Society of London, he was offered the position of superintendent of missions for the Oregon Country, which he accepted. He appointed as his assistant, his nephew, Rev. Daniel Lee. The missionary board in New York appropriated $3,000 for the work in Oregon.
