THE NfW CHARTER
B. W. NOYES
JOHN HALL
NOYES & HALL
We understand that :he board of man
agers of the Commercial Club, to whom
the city council referred the proposed
new charter for their consideration,
dollars am.ually. In a city the size of
La Grande, which covers such a large
territory, there, will of necessity be
more or less defective walks and If the
v.iy is epen .v. ,crCt.y c.'cry
one may collect damages for a fancied or
real injury, '.his city will probably have
one or more damaee cases before the
supreme court all of the time. It costs
money to defend such cases in case the
damages are not proved, or if proved are
small. The amounts sued for are gener
ally largely in excess of what they ex
pect to receive. There are two sides to
this question but in our opinion the in
terest of the general public can be prop
erly protected by requiring certain officers
to give sufficient bonds for the faithful
performance of their duties and make
them responsible and not the city which
is only responsible for the acts of such
officers. -
The council spent over an hour in dis
cussing this provision and in view of our
past history wherein it was demonstrated
that this section of our charter had saved
the city so many law suits, they decided
to leave it as it is and we are of the
opinion that the charter should not be
changed in this respect.
EiTRAY NOTICE
Notice is hereby given that J have taken
changed one section, which for the gen- ' UP a an estray the following descrioed
eral welfare of the city should remain in
the new charter, which is also in the pre
sent charter and having been tested and
upheld by the supreme court leaves no
doubt of its validity. The section we
refer to is the one which relieves the city
from all responsibility from injuries to
persons or property growing out of any
causuality or accident, but does not re-
animals. The owner may have same by
proving property and paying charges.
