(Continued from Page 1)
To forestall open discussion of the
plan and an airing of the opposition to
it, Councilman Meyer moved that the
matter be referred to a committee of
three, to report back not later than
Wednesday of next week. Council
man Andrews seconded this motion
after it had been put Beveral timse
with no takers, and no immediate op
position to the measure developed.
. "I think Mr. Ilnckett, the incoming
mayor, ought to be chairman of this
committee," said Mayor Jones.
"I decline to serve," said Mr. Ilnck
ett. "I'll appoint Mr. Motzner chair
man, then,'' said the mayor, "und with
him Mr. Templeton and Mr. Meyer."
"I object to having Mr. Meyer on
the committee," said Mr. Lntourette.
"He is closely associated with mo in
business, and I don't want any chance
for members of the council or the
people to declare that influence has
been used."
The mayor appointed Mr. Andrews
in place of Mr. Meyer, and Andrews
declined to serve.
"Well, then we'll make it a com
mittee of two,'' said the mayor. Lat
er at the request of Mr, Templeton
who declared the matter to be one of
the gravest import, the committee was
increased to four, Councilman Cox and
Albright being added. With the com
mittee standing Metznor, Albright,
Cox and Templeton, it is known that
at least two of the committeemen are
opposed to the plan, so the committee
will probably bring in a deadlock '
report and the matter be threshed out
in council next week.
Mr. Lntourette suggested that a
number of taxpayers be named on the
committee as well, but the mayor
cither did not hear him or purposely
paid no attention to the suggestion.
And there the matter rested tem
porarily, with so much "under the
surface feeling" that everybody heav
ed a sigh of relief. Chief opposition
to the plan is declared to lie in the
fact that the sale of the city flume
would seriously embarass the munic
ipality in the future if at any time it
desired to utilize the water rights to
operate n city hydro-electric plant.
With a long term of years still run
ning on the city's water lease, and
with drinking water obtained from
the South Fork, many taxpayers and
property owners are urging the con
struction of a municipal lighting plant
so that more lights can be obtained
in the residence section and so that
cluster lights may grace the business
streets. .
Aside from the water matter the
council canvassed the vote of the city
election and the mayor mumbled a
proclamation which declared the
amendments carried and the new offic
ials elected.
A report of the board of appraisers
on Division street was read, and filed.
WATER It showed that the city would have to
stand approximately $2100 of the
$8700 proposed improvement.
The Honorable Christian Schuebcl
got an ordinance introduced declaring
the grade of J. Q. Adams street, from
Thirteenth to Fourteenth. It appears
that the city is engeged in a suit with
a property owner on this street, and
the question has been raised that the
grade has never been established,
though the street has been improved.
The Honorable Christian Schuebel
also asked authority of the council to
spend not more than $40 of the city's
money for a map showing where Main
street ran before the flood of 1801
the map to be used in the "friendly'
suit of the Portland Railway, Light &
Power company against the city re
gurding the ownership of lower Main
street. Mr. Templeton wanted to
know if Mr. Stipp's report on this dis
puled property wouldn't do as well as
a map, but Mr. Schuebel said:
hupp cloesn t know any more
about this than an unborn child.
Considering that the suit is being
fought on the basis of a report that
Livy Stipp made when he was city
recorder, Chris paid his brother at
torney quite a compliment. He got
permission to spend not more than $10
for a map.
Mr. Schuebel then said he'd like to
have a rive-minute executive session
and invited Mr. Buckles, one of the
councilmen elect, to join in the secret
meeting. The meeting lasted five
minutes, und then Mr. Schuebel came
out into the council chamber. Three
minutes later Mr. Van Auken left the
star-chamber conference and came out
to sit behind the stove. Two minutes
later Mr. Meyer emerged from (he
private room, and a minute later Mr.
Templeton came out and joined the
conference around the stove. At this
the chances of Oregon City losing its
water right to the llawley mill was
informally discussed.
The secret meeting? Oh yes: that
was sought by Mr. Schuebel to find out
if his job would hold good alter the
first of the year, or if the council
would conclude that in spite ol tn
Stone amendment it had the right to
appoint the city prosecutor and the
city recorder. Mr. Schuebcl's inquiry
was nicely disguised under an inter
est in city suits that will come to trial
early in January, and gave no hint
of nny doubt on his part that under
the Stone amendment, making the
city prosecutor and city recorder elect
ive he would automatically hold over.
Mr, Hackett, to whom the question
of the appointment was naturally put,
replied that he did not care to say
anything about his plans for the city
or the city's administration until after
he was mayor, which would be the first
of the year. And some of the coun
cilmen present didn't declare that they
would favor the retention of the pres
ent "city attorney," either.
Mr. Schuebel said that he thought
Mr. Hackett ought to reveal his plans
in private, because if he (Schuebel)
wasn't going to be "city attorney"
after the end of the year, the man
who was going to be ought to have
a chance to familiarize himself with
the city's interest in the pending
cases. No definite news was given
Mr. Schuebel.
Council then adjourned, without
anybody getting ac hance to ask Mr.
Van Auken whether he had paid the
printing bill for the publication of hi3
jitney ordinance yet, or whether he
intended to pay it.
WHY HAVE LAWS LIKE THESE,
EH?'
(Continued from Page 1)
but employees of the Enterprise,
where the budget was printed, say it
was printed twice because the first
time it was printed it wasn't right,
and that the second printing was made
to correct an error. If that is cor
rect, the budget hasn't been properly
published, and maybe there is a cloud
on the legal right of Oregon City to
collect its KHfe mill levy next year.
If there is a cloud, why didn't the
"city attorney'' find it out?
The Honorable Christian Schue
bel remarked, at this same interview,
that he not only knew the law, but
that he kept posted on supreme court
decisions, so that he knew what the
supreme court thought of the law.
Hearing this in mind, it was the Hon
orable Christian Schuebel who slip
ped to the council that little ordinance
regarding the $275,000 bond issue, in
which the councilmen individually are
held responsible for any excessive
appropriations that may be made over
the budget.
And there is a state law that says
whenever a public official is held fi
nancially responsible, he must put up)
a bond to cover this responsibility.
Yet we haven't noticed anything about
councilmen furnishing a bond in the
new ordinace. How about that, Mr.
Christian Schuebel; has the supreme
court ruled that bonding is not nee
essnry .'
Just being a long-eared quadruped
the Courier would like to know.

County Court Estimates Pared Down
During Lively Session
Members of the taxpayers' com
mittee, appointed to review the coun
ty budget, found things they didn't
like in it Wednesday night, and con
tinued their meeting to Thursday to
discuss it further. Six hundred dol
lars, in round figures, was sliced off
the appropriation wanted by William
J. Wilson for the sheriff's office; and
an emphatic plug was put into the
hole through which $7950 was propos
ed to be paid for the county fair
grounds at Canby. The taxpayers
didn't see why a county fair should be
held in a town inaccessible to other
parts of the district.
A resolution recommending the ap
pointment of a county purchasing
agent could save at least ten percent
on some bills.
Consideration of the estimates for
the prosecuting attorney's office was
postponed until Thursday's session of
the meeting, when District Attorney
Gilbert Hedges will be heard, and
when the committee will also be
favored with suggestions regarding
this appropriation from the Honorable
Christian Schuebel. Just why the
committee should hear Christian
Schuebel in the matter was not re
vealed, but it was said that Christian
would have some helpful hints to of

"THE CAPTAIN AND THE LADY"
for the balance o fthis week; a mod
ern story in four acts, considered one
of the best of the modern dramas. It
pictures the struggles of a young man
who tries to support a wife on a small
income and is goaded by his friends
and mother-in-law until in his desper
ation he steals money from his em
ployer and is caught after a time and
is about to be arrested. He sends his
wife to his employer's rooms at night
to see if she can save him from jail
and the scene with the stern old cap
tain where the young wife pleads for
her husband is intensely dramatic.

will be presented the first three nights

Portland will learn in time that
there is too much selfishness in its

and San Francisco will take care of
the remainder of that great section.
Portland will continue to keep its
money at home. This does not de
velop resources or build big cities.
The leading men of that city do not
know the meaning of progressivism.
They take a little run out to a neigh
