Nathan Evans of the local Methodist church, claims the distinc tion of officiating at the largest num ber of weddings within a given time. Saturday evening he united three dif ferent couples in different parts of the city within an hour. At 9 p. m. he was at 501 Lincoln street, where he made Raymond W. Ayers and Es tella B. Hogue man and wife. At 9:30 he was at his parsonage where he performed the ceremony at the wedding of Evan De Witt Dunning and Maxlne Mildred Turner, and at 9:45 he was at 1209 East Court street to read the service which united Fred A. Winsor and Florence Bowman. Rev. Evans also performed a cere mony yesterday afternoon at 3:30 at his church, Paul Chryst and Cecil Claire Reed being the contracting couple. Macadam Finished to Saxe, The two road crews working on the Wild Horse road have completed the macadam work from the Wild ling to talk upon the 'subject. Col. J. H. Raley was brief but emphatic. "I am strongly in favor of it," de clared Colonel Raley. "I should like to see the amendment submitted." W. L. Thompson of the American National bank said that the commis sion form is the only form and that he is highly In favor of it for Pen dleton. "It is the only system," he said. "We cannot expect men to give their time to the affairs of the city with out compensation. I would favor a commission government with salaries say of $1200 a year each to three men, one of these to be chosen as mayor. I should also favor a provis ion In the amendment that these men devote half their time to the business affairs of the city. I am sure that such a plan would induce the best men to seek and accept the nomina tions. Under a commission form we have a centralized system and the re sponsibility for the good management of city affairs rests with this system." Leon Cohen was unqualified in his endorsement. "There is no question at all," he said, " of the desirability of the commission government. It would give us a better system. I am sure that if the question is submitted agan, it will carry easily, and certain ly Pendleton should have this system." G. I. LaDow expressed about the same opinion. "I think I am in favor of it," he declared. "If the proper candidates are tip for office, it would give us an Improved system of gov ernment over the present one. I think however, that the success of the com mission government would depend largely upon the selection of the officers." F. E. Llvengood, another promi nent business man, said that he thought the commission form would be a good thing. "Although I have not studied it thoroughly, it seems to have been a success In other towns and I am strongly in favor of it here. I believe that it would prove a suc cess and be an improvement in many ways over the old form." E. J. Murph)' hi Favor. As an example how opinion has changed since the proposition was submitted before, the expression of E. J. Murphy, another well known busi ness man, indicates generally how the sentiment in the city now tends tow ards the commission form. Mr. .Mur phy two years ago was strenuously opposed to anything that savored of the commission government. Today he is just the opposite In his attitude and Is as favorable to it at this time as he was opposed tp it two years ago. "The commission form," said Mr. Murphy, "gives us a system where we can place the responsibility on the men at the helm. Two years ago, 1 was opposed to the commission. Now I nm highly in favor of it. It cen tralizes the responsibility, and would give Pendleton a business administra tion which would be more efficient than any other form I know." The above expressions of leading business men of ttie city show that apparently there Is' a dissatisfaction with the old idea in municipal gover norship. As referred to at the be ginning, the one' man who voiced what could be called doubt, was Mr. Gray of Gray brothers, but his doubt was tinctured with the willingness to try the commission form and he was wll ling to admit that there might be more good In the system than In the present form of government. He said that he did not believe the city could have any better council than It has at present and that he believed It would be better to let the same plan remain In effect. However, as to whether another term would bring In to the city administration as good and efficient a set of men as the present, he was not prepared to say and felt that In this regard " the commission form might be better able to handle a question of the desirability of city of ficials better than the system now In use.
