At the meeting of Tualatin Grange on
Saturday, a resolution was passed the
substance of which was that the county
court be requested to do the work neces
sary on the public road over Polifka hill
to make it passable during wet weather.
The court, by transforming that piece of
road to its present location, made mat
ters worse instead of better, and the
money thus expended was practically
wasted.
Tualatin Grange also passed this reso
lution. ,
Resolved, By Tualatin Grange No.
Ill, that the state government be pe
titioned for submitting to a referendum
vote the measure passed by the last
legislature, appropriating $500,000 for
