No Time I,ost In Getting lame Under
Way Above Amount Thought
To Be Sufficient
The city council met yesterday
forenoon and approved formally the
form of bond which they had au
thorized for the Issue which wag
voted at Monday's election, and the
mayor and recorder signed them.
They will be disposed of according:
to the plan already announced, $40.
000 worth to Portland interests and
an equal amount to Prlneville par

for the certificates which were sold
to the amount of $28,000 In this

both to the council and the people
of the city, these bonds had been
printed In advance, and were on
hand at yesterday's meeting, at
which time the arrangements were
all completed for the floating of the
bonds.

Duffy last Friday which removes the

In his findings of fact and con

the legality of the county, and that
the required percentage of the votes
were favorable to its establishment
in both the old and new counties.
Judge Wallace, who is attorney
for those opposing the Deschutes
county organization, stated that he
will appeal the cuse to the supreme
court, and will file notice to that
