Jiiduo Eakln went Into the case ex haustively and stated that It appeared from the dedication of the square that there Is no reason why a building voted to the public should be Jilaceu upon It. Suit was Instituted In tno i ircuii otirt Saturday against P. S. Haker, the contractor who la moving the Mo liiiimlilln building from Main street o the city park block on the bill anu KX 11. Cnunold, K. K. Hroilie. presi- tit and secretary of tho McUntghlin Memorial Association, to restrain de fendants from placing the historic Mclaughlin home on the park block, which was given to the city by Me UniRlilln. Caleb Cross appeared as plaintiff. Mr. Clark secured the signature oi Circuit Judge Kakln to a temporary restraining order, which was serveil on Contractor linker. Circuit Judge Kakln Saturday af ternoon declined to grant a tempor ary Injunction restraining the moving of the historic home of Pr. John Mc- Uiiiuhlln. tho founder of Oregon City, to the public square at the top of Singer Hill. Ho grunted a tempor ary restraining order early Saturday morning, "d set the case fur hearing nt noon, but when ho learned that no bond had been filed he Immediately dissolved the Injunction and later In tho dav heard the arguments on an application for a temporary order. Slate Senator HoiIros appeared tor tho Association, and advanced the argument that no posslhle damage could result, and that the complaint failed to show that Cross had any right to sue for the public and that the allegations were entirely Insnftlclont. The court took the same view, but intimated that If complaint were tiled In which n sufficient showing was made, he would Issue a temporary or der restraining the contractor from placing the building on the block. Kor tho third time wiinin two judi cial days application was made Mon day morning to Judgo Kakln for a temporary restraining order to pre I yr. 1 - I X.i-.M ciituiu irunm pininiiun It Is possible that the Oregon ber. vent the Mclyiughlln Memorial Asso ciation and Contractor Haker from placing the historic home or nr. joun Mclaughlin on the public square at the lop of Singer Hill road. The square la officially designated as block No. 40. Mr. Clark Hied an amennen com plaint, In which the plaintiff, t aieo Cross, states that he and all other t-ltlxena of On-Ron City nave un ruuai rlRhl to the unimpaired, undivided anu unhindered us. occupancy and en joyment of the public square, where - . . -. .... tii i.. It Is proposed lo piar in llu homo. H" culls the homo of Or. Mclaughlin an old, unsightly, unsani tary and dilapidated building and says It will occupy exclusively a largo part of the square, thereby fiilllrtlng Ir reparable Injury and damage to Mr. Cross and many other citizens, and that the owners of nearby property will be damaged. In that their prop erty will depreciate In value. Tho Mclaughlin home Is 20x50 feet, and will rover a space of 1500 square feet in the nubile square known as itlneli No. 40 there Is about M.S'K) square feet, and It can be readily figured Just how much of the lerrl torv will be occupied by the building. The proposition to give the home of lir Mrljiuiihlln a permanent place, where It would be restored and be mime un ornament to the city has been antagonized from the first. Nesrlv Hood has been guaranteed In I'ortlniid und Oregon by the friends of the movement, and last week the contract for the moving and renova tion of the building was let to Fred H Halter, who went quietly to wors u-ln. men and teams to move the structure. He commenced Friday at mum mul Kutiinlav night had the building moved down Main street to Tenth. It Is remarkable that thel,he building n a short speech, con- spot where ii is propiwi-u iu " siruttiire was given to the city by Dr. .loliti Mcl-oughlln himself, when the original dedication was made. Saturday morning In the office ot City lce order Dlinlck there was filed an Initiative petition lor ttie enact ment of an ordinance preventing any one from placing any old building on the park block. The petition is signed by 202 names and has been In circulation several weeks. Tho ordi nance will be put up to the voters at tho general election In December. However, before action can lie tascn on the proposed ordinance, the build ing will be In place and the measure does not provide for lt destruction or removal. The oMisitlon lo th removal of the building to the city park block springs from the fact that the struc ture Is In a dilapidated condition and that It will bo unslRhtly In such a prominent position. It. is the Inten tion of the officers of the McLougblln Memorial Association however, and has always been, to place the historic home of McLougblln in the same con dition as it was wnen he lived tflere 00 ycara ago.
