Nearly too cltlsena who fathered In
W. U. W. ball Saturday afternoon to
hear the report of the Joint committee
Invent lust Inn complaint! aKalnst the
county court found that one fac'.lon
had assumed control of the proceed
ings, and that the report presented to
them was that of this portion of the
Join, committee alone. As a reault
of this turn of affairs, the spectators
were treated to aome unexpected de
velopmental one of which was the
hootlne: from the platform of O. D.
Kby, chairman of the committee ap
pointed by the Live Wires of the
Commercial club to act with Messrs.
M. J. Drown. R. Schuebel and 8. L.
Casto In the Investigation.
Mr. Eby endeavored to obtain the
floor to atate that the Live Wlrea'
commlt'ee would submit Its own re
port, belne; unable to endorse the re
port of the three men of the ruling
faction, but cat-calls, yells and abuse
made It unable for him to speak.
Shortly after this he left the hall, and
'.he remaining faction ran matters as
suited themselves. Aflor tney naa
presented their report, which was
done by Mir. Hchuebel, Mr. Ilrown
withdrawing from the center of the
suite temporarily, two resolutions
were Introduced and adopted. These
resolutions follow:
Hy Mr. Mfetcltonakl and unanimously
adopted:
"Resolved, That The Morning En

on the Integrity and honesty of the
mass meeting committee, and that
the Oregon City Courier be commend

We. the committee uixinttwt hy
the mass meeting held In Woodineu

agalnnt the county court, be leave
to report as follow
In tin mnttor of 'he complaint of
George Lasello thr.t Roal Dinirlct No.
15 had levied a snvlnl piad tax or
$2700.00, which had not boon spent
as the people Intended, we found that
Insofar aa the money is concerned
this Is trje. The record show th.it
12700 00 was raised and so far about
one half Is spent fho balance of
1UG9.91 Is on hand, we- were told
that It was to he divided Into throe
equal parts. Mr. ljixelle's complaint,
which speaks for Itself:
Oregon City. Ore.. April 29. 1913.
To the Investigating committee
representing the Live Wires of
Oregon City and the mass meet
ing of the taxpayers:
The undersigned wishes to
make charges against the county
Judtte and county court, as fol-
'Tnnt a six mill special tax lev
led by road dlBtrlct No. 1R. tor
the purpose of building roads In
said district snd raising a fund or
about $2700.00 Is partly being re
tained by the county court with
out Just cause and contrary to
winhes of those who paid the tax.
That a system of road building
Ing was allowed by the county
.r wh.rehr about 700 feet of
road was built In road district No.
IS at a cost of about 800.00, which
proves that said court la wilfully
mismanaging the county finance.
Thai Judge R. B. lleatle baa
made statements to certain Indi
viduals announcing that he haa
stopped all Improvements on the
south end road and Intends to
place all of the available money
for this road district on the Ca
nemah road on account of a per
sonal grudge against Geo. Laxelle.
Respectfully submitted,
(Signed) GEO. M. LAZELLK.
Wm. Fine Is road supervisor on
this matter.
This money Is not connected with
the special tax fund held up by the
court. We have examined the rec
ords In regard to one E. D. Olds'
chargea against the court In building
bridges and letting contracts con
trary to law. having compared the
records with Mr. OW'a statements we
find that In regard to the Flsher'a
mill bridge. He Is short In his fig
ures a to the cost of the bridges, as
we have found records showing that
$3785.20 was paid, exclusive of ce
ment, we also find in the same month
a bill of J. R. Myers for hauling ce
ment to Flshor's mill bridge, also a
bill of $192.00 for cement from Hal-four-Guthrle
& Co., the snme month:
so fnr was unable to find any record
definitely stntlng where the cement
was used, but must naturally suppose
It was used for the Fisher's mill
bridge, thus making the cost of the
Fisher's mill bridge $1105.70 instead
of $2900.00 as we are by no means
certain that this is all. yet as there
Is not intelligent record of the trans
action, the bills are scattered among
the supervisor's reports and as In the
case of the cement. It would neces
sarily take considerable time to get
the total facts and be sure you had
all; and as to the other bridges, the
records are more faulty than on the
Fisher'! mill bridge. Among Mr.
Olds' papers we find a letter from
Mr. O. W. Severance, where he said
he would have built the Fisher's mill
bridge for $3160.00. complete ready
for travel, so far we could not get
track of Mr. Severance, so will have
to accept this letter for what is
worth.
As to Mr. Olds' statement that the
court did not live up to the law In
regard to letting the contracts for the
building of the varleus bridges men
tioned by him. as far as we are able
to determine this la true: no record
has been found where bids were ad
vertised for, according to Sec. 63B8 of
the (sic) Lord! Oregon Law!
(page 2290 volume 3 of Lord ! Oregon
Laws).
In the matter of the Pudding river
brldee. the Eagle Creek, Sunnysldo
r.nlnh and Clear Creek bridge, four
bridges, we find Mr. Olds' statements we discover the following facts
r ' ... . ..m vv 1 .nnA aaa AnloroH Intfl with
correct cost for the steel $17,965.00.
We also find, that the Coast Rrldge
Co. was paid $1600.00 for erection of
the above four bridges mentioned; al
so $2809.00 for tubular plera on Pudd
ing river bridge, making a total of
$25.36.V00 all told, paid Coast Bridge
Co. for the four bridges, this does not
Include concrete piers snd abutmenta
which were put In by Mr. John Green
at a cost that Is hard to definitely de
termine, as Mr. Green's reports do
not always state where the work was
done, hut we do find the sum of
$1332.28 spent for labor, but bills do
not state where work wss done, then
we find a number of bills for lumber,
cement gravel, sand nails, spikes,
etc, that no man can locate from the
records, where they were intended
for, only occasionally statements
shows this, but apparently "C four
bridxes cost $26,697.20. lumber and
cement still to be accounted for. We
found one bill of D. C. Robblns for
cement delivered at Canby for $473.
10. We find another record of three
bridges let to the Coast bridge Co,
known as Bear Creek, Rock Creek
and Johnson Creek for $6850.00 com
plete except painting, county to do
the painting, also to Coast Bridge Co.
for trestle bridge over Rock Creek for
$4300.00. Coast Bridge Co. to furnish
all metal, material, perform all labor
and county to furnish lumber, was
not able to find the coat of lumber
for want of time. Also Coast Bridge
Co. tor tubular piers on north end of
Baker's bridge, $2200.00, also a wood
en bridge built by John Heft for $1,
060.00, complete, another built by
Jomn Nordberg on the following con
ditions, this Is the bridge claimed to
have been built for aome time with
no road to it tor $800.00.
Bk. 25 pp. 6 & 6. In the matter of
the bridge across a gulch on the Wm.
Stevens road near the N. E. corner of
W. T. Mattock D. L. C, in road dlst
trlct No. 2 and it appearing to the
count that John Nordberg has agreed
to construct the above mentioned
bridge for $800.00, specifications to
be furnished said Nordberg by some
one designated by the county court
along the lines discussed at the May
term, it is ordered that John, Nord
berg be given the contract to con
struct said bridge. All told we find
that this court has spent approxim
ately $59,000.00 for bridges, this does
not Include some work done under
Mr. Green, such ss concrete piers
and abutments, which we did not have
time to dig up.
In the mntter of the suspension
bridge, we find that George Scogglns
waa paid $350.00 for Inspecting this
bridge, It appears to us after talking
the matter over with T. w. Sullivan,
who we think is a competent judge
of such matters, that this might be
alright. Mr. Sullivan said that $25.00
per day would be about right for
comDetent man.
In the matter of the steam roller
excessive cost charge by Mr. Oolds.
we find that Mr. Olds waa given fig
ure! in writing by a representative of
the Buffalo Pitts people, that the
manager told us that they could not
live up to, claiming he was a new
man, and further said that the ma
chines sold for less money to Seattle
and other counties for less money
than Clackamas county paid for the
for the same were secondhand rollers
If the manager of the Pitta people
gave us the truth Mr. Olds Is not to
blame for the statement made by
him, although the charges apparently
fall flat, as to the rollers.
In the matter of the timber cruise
contract, after careful investigation.
any figure! up to 20 per cent mistake
above or below, the man making com
plaint must foot the bill of recruistng,
the person making the complaint has
no voice In who shall be the new
rnilser, we find that a considerable
portion of the timber ot Clackamas
county Is on lands claimed by the
railroad now. Decide by the courts
to be forfeited to the government al
though not yet carried to the highest
court but until definitely settled we
have reason to believe no tax can be
collected on same.
We further find that a mm by the
name of Boyle la hired by the county
court to follow cruisers and estimate
If the cruiser is attempting to report
any sections that might be short on
the required amount specified to al
low pay for same, this man Is paid
$5.00 per day and expenses; we find
from letters from Columbia county
that Columbia county paid 5 7-8 cents
per acre for cruising their timber,
that it coat Tillamook $45,000.00 to
cruise Us timber, and Clatsop county
has entered into a contract to cruise
Ita timber for 12H cents per acre, but
the people of Clatsop county have
served Injunctions on the court to
stop the cruise. We think this a visci
ous (sic) contract even It the
timber cruslng were considered good.
Month of October bill of R. B.
Beatle, 170 miles, $17.00, others like
it
In the matter of the court house re
pairs, we find that according to the
figures and bills found the total cost
was $26,211.75. In the matter of the
methods the court took to repair the
court house, we find that bids were
advertised for once In the Courier
and Enterprise, that four bids were
submitted. 2 by Chapell Brown, 1 by
Lasell & Son and 1 by Clarence Sim
mons. The records do not show wiat
the bids were, but simply states the
fact of having employed an expert
and being fully advised, rejected all
bids. Mr. Lasell states his bid was
about $14,000.00; Mr. Simmons bid
for about $17,000.00, that Mr. Beatle
insisted on giving the Job to Mr. Sim
mons, that Mr. Simmons told him
that he bad the court house job
month before bids were called for
that they, Mr. Lasell ft Son, then
threatened Injunction proceedings.
We found that the court hired Mr.
White as referee In this matter, and
he reported In favor of Lasell ft Son's
plans, the court then rejected all
bids and hired Mr. Simmons to boss
the job and did the work by day
work; we find that Mr. Simmons was
empowered to receive bids for ma
terial, then to consult Mr. Beatle and
the two to let contracts for and buy
material; we find cement was bought
from D. C. Rolbns. the clerk In the
Oregon City Commison house for
$2.60 per barrel, cartage extra.
We found where the court has
bought from Balfour-Guthrie ft Co.
direct the same class cement for $2.40
f. o. b. Portland.
We found Mr. White was hired to
furnish plans and specifications for
court house and his plans were ac
cepted. We employed Mr. White to
take up the whole matter and go
over It carefully and give an estimate
as to the difference la cost of court
house should be as built compared
with Mr. Lasell ft Son's plans.
(Here la im-erted In the report a let-
whtcn states

Nea.se to cruise the timber of Clack

of his timber, the court and the cruis-1 $8,000. $9,000 and $15,000. The
er select new cruiser, wno win re
claimed as timber land, we found, the
man mistaken. If he gave the light
40 acre tract some others similar, but
have not had the time to veriry ev
ery little matter called to our atten
tion.
' in the matter of the equity society's
use of the court house, we find after
a vote was taken np by the court on
the question: "Shall all organizations
be allowed the use of the court house,
when not In use for court purposes,
the use of the room?" the vote stood
2 to 1 against; Mr. Mattoon voting
against because of the manning the
question waa put be said he did not
like to throw it open to everybody.
In the matter of the county's fi
nancial condition, we find that on
March 31, 1913 there was on hand In
the general fund $101,631j68. Road
fund In debt $46,700.74. By subtract
ing the road Indebtedness fund from
the general fund on hand, we have on
hand at his date, March 31, 1913, $54,
930 79.
That on March 31, 1910. there was
turned over to the treasurer and
total on hand, $364,021.12.
March 31, 1913. total general and
road fund on hand and what was
turned Into the treasurer, $561,961.89.
Amount on hand March 31, 1913,
general fund on hand, $52,658.77;
road fund' on hand, $36,603.84; total
on hand. $89,262.61.
By subtracting total' on hand March
31, 1910, from the amount on hand
and turned over to treasurer, we find
that the March 31, 1913, report shows
that there is $197,940.77 more money
to do business with than on same
date March 31, 1910. But we find
that by subtracting the amount of In
debtedness or actual money not ex
pended on March 31, 1910 from the
same statement of 1913, that there
Is a difference of $34,331.82 In favor
of the 1913 court
Now by subtracting the amount in
favor of the condition ot the 1913
court from the amount of more mon
ey to do business with we find the
1913 court had the advantage of the
1910 court of $163,608.95, this is the
condition as near as we are able to
determine the facts having figured on
a basis, given from the reports on
the same Items after balancing the
Indebtedness and placing the two
courts on an equal footing, from this
we must conclude that the 1913 court
has no credit due as to being out of
debt in other words they had only
the same money to do business with
that the 1910 court had, but had ex
pended the same amounts, they did,
this county would be In debt $163,.
608.95 more on March 31, 1913 than
on March 31, 1910.
Owing to the many obstacles this
report Is not as complete as some of
you might expect, we found the rec
ords tn many Instances only gave
part of the facts, as they took place
so were compelled to dig on the out
side to get the complete chain of
facts and some men who could give
information, would not do so, one
merchant In Oregon City gave me the
price on naifs on a certain date, but
when I wanted a statement in writ
ing he would not do so, stating he
did not want to mix up In this and
then changed his figure on nails to
30 cents per keg more than he had
given tne a few minutes before, how
ever, we found that the county paid
from 10 cents to 30 cent! per keg
more than any farmer could have
bought the same nails for.
In regard to tile cost of cement w
hereby submit a letter from Notting
ham ft Co., Portland, Ore., which
speaks for Itself. We examined the
sales book of Nottingham ft Co., and
found the prive given was the same
until January, 1912 when It declined
$190 per barrel net f. o. b. Portland
carload lots. 5 cents and 10 . cents
more per barrel In small lots. Mr.
V. Harris bought for $2.05 In 8-barrel
lots, the county paid all the way from
$2.40 to $2.65. Price paid for ce
ment on repair of court bouse was
$2.60 per barrel through D. C Rob
blns. Nott ingham ft Co. letter to R.
gc.buobel follows:
.In regard to your request for
our prices on lime and cement
during the month of May, June,
and July, 1911, In car load lota,
lime was sold $1.15 per barrel and
O. O. Cement at $2.00 per barrel
net f. o. b. card Portland. Sacks
were charged extra at $.10 per
sack, which amount was refunded
on return of empty sacks.
R. B. Beaty, representing the
City Commission House, was giv
en these quotations during the
summer of 1911 here at our office,
102 Front street
P. S. Price of cement declined
to $1.90 Jan.. 1912, C. W. K.
We would further recommend that
a taxpayers league be organized In
each school district and one man be
selected from each school district by
the voters to confer with the county
court before the court attempts any
verv exnenslve undertaking, such as
th timber cruise deal and the bridges
of importance, and that the court fol
low the law as to contracting ior
bridges. We feel that the court tnsi
is unwilling to work along such lines
is unfit to serre the people and that
one man from this taxpayers league
be hired by the court as a buying
agent for the county. Our reasons
for the last recommendation la that
Mr. R. Schuebel having investigated
the price asked the court for steam
rollers, he personally inquired, find
ing that the same roller could have
been purchased by Mr. Schuebel for
$275 less money, and the same Is
true of other things. Personally, I
will state I have gone over nearly all
matters referred to In this report and
will gladly show book, page and other
records to any man who doubts the
statements tn this report
On account of the vicious and un
truthful matter printed In The En
terprise the morning after the mass
meeting In regard to the action! of
your mass meeting committee, such
as that the committee had already de
cided on the report it would bring In;
also statin that the report might al
ready be written, we thought best to
ask the Live Wires to appoint com
mittee to help look Into the charge!
preferred agalnet the court which
they did. We received this commit
tee with uncalloused hands and are
ready to return them In the aame con
dition. They were of no use what
ever, and as soon as we found drift of
their intentions, we decided to let
them work to suit themselves and
make their own report, and we would
do the same. We leave the result In
your hand! to Judge the merits of the
work of each committee and their
findings, but do recommend that the
taxpayer! insist upon a more accur
ate way of keeping the record! of the
transactions so any citizen of intell
igence could locate the cost of the
bridges from the recoras, wuicn wo
are satisfied no man living can do a
the accounts are now kept
