In city circles here, however, it
is believed tht the ruling will

seems that there is Utile, differ

The Ileal Silk Hosiery Mills,

it is Set forth that this section
of the ordinance' applies only 'o

In a Portland newspaper's com
ment of the action, the following
statement is made: "The decision

It Is believed that La Grande will
