T
CITY NOT COMPELLED
TO CALL UN ELECTION
The city will not be compelled to
call a special election to amend the
charter to provide an appeal from
the city to the circuit court. This was
the ruling of Circuit Judge Campbell
In dismissing the writ of mandamus
brought by Roy Ott, prominent union
leader and others, against the city
fathers and Recorder Loder,
On February 2, a petition carrying
IS per cent of the legal voters was
filed with the council, demanding that
a special election be called to vote up
on a charter amendment providing
such an appeal. Instead of complying
with the petitioners tha council tabled
the petition, and Roy Ott, with others,
brough mandamus proceedings on
the ground that Ordinance No. 682,
defining Initiative and referendum
powers, In the city charter, should be
constructed as mandatory upon the
part of the officials. Judge Campbell
held differently.
City Attorney Story argued that the
court had no Jurisdiction of the sub
ject matter and further that the adop
tion of such an amendment would be
void, in that It would impose addi
tional burdens upon the state, by the
municipal corporation, on the ground
that circuit court is a state Institu
tion.
Judge Campbell's ruling will also
affect the recent petition which was
Bled asking the council to purchase a
Ore truck for the city. Thla waa filed
under similar circumstances arid the
council likewise refused to take any
action.
The potltlon was originally circulat
ed by the paper mill union in an ef
fort to provide a method of appeal
from tha decisions in the local re
corder's court, In cases resulting from
the present paper mill strike.
Henry Larson filed suit to compel
the opening of a public roadway
through the lands of Fred and Etta
Bechlll, in Sec. 30, T. 2 S. 7 E., out
In the Marmot country.
Thes plaintiff alleges that the only
practical and available roadway lies
through the Bechlll place, and that
the defendanta have stubbornly clos
ed and locked tho entrance to -the
travelled lane through their place,
with the desire t h jep the road from
being travelled. Larson asks that the
road be surveyed and damages as
sessed for a permanent roadway, and
that the sum of (200 damages be al
lowed the plaintiff for Injuries sus
tained by reason of defendants' stub
bornness. He further asks an Injunc
tion against the closing of the road
and this is to be argued on April 16
before Jud;;e Campbell.
David Hardy and wife are the plain
tiffs In an equitable proceeding
against Geo. A. Ostrum and Jessie A,
Ostrum, asking specific performance
of a realty contract existing between
the parties, for the sale of property
along the railroad at Jennings Lodge,
Tha complaint charges that In 1912
the plaintiffs entered into a lease at
an agreed stipulation of $50.00 per
month, with an option to purchase
the property, with the defendants
and that up to January, 1916, the de
fendanta lived up to their part of the
agreement in every way. From that
date on, however, It Is charged, that
defendants defaulted, and under the
terms of the lease have forfeited all
rights in th place. The defendants,
however, are still willing to let the
defendant purchase the place upon
payment of the sum of $921.54, and
ask the court to require Olson to
tender thla amount together with ac
cured interest and taxes, within sixty
days, or forfeit all rights and title to
the place.
