v AT CITIZENS MEETING
The citizens meeting called for last
night to discuss the tax budget pre
pared by the city council for 11)18 was
evidently not popular with the general
public and the audience outside of a
dozon was composed of tho council
members.
From the small number present the
members of the council can foel as
sured that the public has absolute
confidence In their ability to handle
the city funds In a satisfactory man
ner. A few changes were made from
the budget as published in the Enter
rise Nor. 1st.
The amount for a permanent paving
plant was placed at $2000, being a cut
of $1000 from the amount published.
The amount for printing was cut
from $771 to $840. $400 was appropri
ated for painting the city elevator.
Monday evening, November 19th, a
meeting of the council has been called
for the purpose of passing an ordi
nance making a seven mill levy, which
will with the estimated receipts from
other sources provide the amount of
the budget as adopted which calls for
an expenditure of $59,883.57.

SAYS B. T. MINN
To the Editor: The county officers
of Clackamas county have arrested M.
Fleming, an employee of the Crown
Willamette Paper company, for car
rying a concenled weapon. Mr. Flem
ing has only been guilty once has
been tried, convicted and has paid his
fine from hard earned funds. I make
this statement that the fair minded
people of Oregon City may know that
this man is being persecuted by some
one for the constitution plainly states
"a man shall not be put in peril twice
for the same offense."
It seems to me and many others if
some of our soballstlcally Inclined cor
poration hating fellow citizens would
do as much in prosecuting the law
breakers in and about Oregon City as
they have done to persecute this man,
that the peace of Oregon City would be
assured and business immediately as
sume its old condition.

cape from the.Oregon penitentiary be
fore 2:20 o'clock on Tuesday after

ver dollar at the expense of Johnson.
This isn't the first wager Johnson has
lost, but he is always "game" and im
mediately pays his bets.

E
TRAIN!
R
Nearly 200 Oregon City school boys
are enrolled in the Manual Training
department of the city schools. Of this
number nearly 150 are grade school
pupils who come to the shop but once
a week. The high school boys take an
hour and thirty minutes work each
day.
"The aim of the department, primar
ly," says Mr. Kummell instructor, Is to
teach the use of the various wood
working tools. But in addition general
information and special Instruction
are given the boys on lumbering, wood
finishing and all other related sub
jects. Reasonable freedom in the
building, is granted the pupils and
thus the work forma a useful relaxa
tion from the dally school grind.
The things made in the shop are in
tended to be useful in the home or
school.' Three new work benches were
needed this year. They are now noar
ing completion. All the work is being
done by the pupils of the school thus
effecting a saving of about $50, in
their cost over the retail prico.
The instructor, Mr. Kimmell, states
that the boys are tnktng as keen inter
est in making ftings for the school as
they do for their homes and that the
workmanship of the high school boys
is nearly up to the best commercial
standards.
