CANBY AND SOUTHERN CLACKAMAS
Canby Free From
Danger of Typhoid
CAN"BY, Feb. Z. Owing to a test
made from samples' of Canby's city
water ,the state health board has ad
Tised that all water to be used for
drinking -.purposes ,be) boiled, until
further investigation is made.
The samples examined by the board
showed that there was an over
amount of colon baccoli, and it is pre
sumed that this i3 caused from water
from one o tfhe- wells, recently dyna
mited in order 4o deepen it and in
crease the supply.
The wells supplying the city with
.water are located in block 16.
So far there are no cases of typhoid
fever reported, but it is believed that
the early precaution has been the
means of preventing an epidemic.
There aie many families who are
being supplied with water from wells
at their own homes, and believing in
"safety first" are taking no chances,
and are doing as others boiling all
drinking water.
There has been very little sickness
in Canby for the past year, and when
there was a report circulated that
there were several cases of typhoid,
immediate investigation proved that
the report was false.

CITY DADS FIND
$7000 TO APPLY
ON FIRE TRUCK
Echoes of the city hall-fire truck
contention were heard in stentorian
tones in the chambers of the city
council Wednesday evening when the
city dads met in regular session. Th3
first reverberation was loosened b
a committee from the Hill Improve
ment club, consisting of W. L. Little.
Duane Ely, and Carl Green, who ask
ed the city to call a special election
for the purpose ,'of having the word
"par" Stricken from the terms . of
the bond issue under which funds
are to be raised to pay for the pro
posed .city hall, and the fire truck
which has already been received in
Portland.
According to the committee's state
ments it is impossible to sell the
bonds at par, and inasmuch as it
would require an entirely new pro
cedure to secure a change from the
5 per cent interest allowed, they have
been advised that by allowing the
bonds to sell for less than face value,
the sale will be expedited and the
loss'of revenue to the city will be
more than taken care of by the sav
ings affected by decreasing building
costs. A hall such as Oregon City
requires can be built now for $24,000,
says the committee, whereas $35,000
was voted for that purpose. Consld
erable discussion anentthe legality
of calling a special election to secure
the necessary change in the bond
issue was heard, with the result that
the city attQrney was instructed to
investigate and report at a special
meeting February 16th. The Hill
Improvement club, in order to lesson
the expense of the election, agrees to
furnish the clerks and judges free of
charge to the city.
The situation concerning the truck
and city hall, always a delicate mat
ter, was given the appearance of a
veritable powder-keg when Dr. Hugh
Mount, of the third ward, took the
floor against the plan to secure action
on the bond issue. Mount's stand was
based on the proposition that the
city hall could not be legally placed
in McLoughlin Park, where the, vot
ers authorized it, and he cited the
city attorney to a decision of the
supreme court concerning a similar
case in Portland While Attorney
Eby was not prepared to say that it
could not be placed there legally, he
admitted that he was "impressed" by
the court's action, and very much had
his doubts as to the matter.
Taking the matter up from another
angle, it was declared by Dr. Mount,
and concurred in by members of the
council, that the city council had
never purchased a fire truck, that
the action of the mayor and the pre
vious council was illegal, and that
under the present contract with the
fire truck company the city could not
be held for any consideration what
soever. An ordinance, it was said,
should have been passed for the pur
pose of buying the truck, but this was
not done, and the informal action of
the council has left the present situ
dtion in a very critical condition.
Just what the outome of the revela
tions might be, no one at the meet
ing rwas , willing to conjecture, but
the seriousness of the afafir Impress
ed all listeners.
Plans submitted by Dr. Mount for
the immediate purchase of .the mach
ine were squelched by various heads
of committees, who sought to protect
the cemetery, general and road funds
from onslaught. Mount's proposal
was to take the necessary amount
from the several funds of the city
and get the truck. The final action
taken authorized the city treasurer
to invest $7,000 of the cemetery funds
in the bonds, and Councilman Bridges
reported that he was convinced that
the truck company would take the
balance. The vote on this proposi
tion showed Albright, Bridges, Kra?
sig, Mount and Petzold in favor, and
Cross, Metzner, and VanAuken op
posed. Van A'uken made a strong
talk against securing the truck, urg
ing that any money available for that
purpose be spent on the roads. He
crossed bats on several ocassions
with Dr. Mount, and challenged the
people who were opposing the cit7
hall on the hill to come out with a
definite stand agalxst it. To com-;
mence construction and take the;
chances of an injunction suit to pre
vent completion of the hall was urg
ed as one way to settle the matter,
but after all sides were heard there
were as , many conflicting opinions,
verdicts,' judgments, and ideas as
there were councilmen and commit
teemen present, and nothing further
was done.
City Recorder Kelly announced
that there would be a meeting of the
state hVway commission with the
city street committee and other in
terested bodies here on the morning
of February 12th to discuss plans for
paving the Pacific Highway between
Oregon City and Canemah. The city
attorney reported on various matters
which had been referred at a pre
vious meeting, and introduced a pro
posed ordinance regulating the sal
aries of city officials. The ordinance
was read first time, and will be given
final action on the 16th at a special
meeting. An ordinance covering the
licensing of wholesale delivery wag
ons here was laid on the table for
further consideration before action.
A report from the city recorder, In
conjunction with a letter from , the
Oregon City Abstract Cojjopany, call
ed attention to thousands of dollars
of, unpaid assessments against pro
perty in the city, and the attorney
was instructed to find out if the
money can be collected. No liens
are held against the property involv
ed, although the city la liable for the
amount . of the bonds Issued for the
improvements.
The chief of police was authorized
to employ any special traffic officer
to stop excess speeding, running with
cut-outs open, and other disturbances
of he peace. It was charged by
Percy Caufield and others who were
present to protest against the nuis
ance of traffic violations, that huge
trucks rumbled through the city dur
ing the night with unwarranted
noise.
F. J. .Tooze asked the aid of the
council in establishing a foot bridge
on 12th street between Buchannan
and Pierce streets, and the mattev
was referred to the street committee.

MEDFORD BODY
WOULD BAR JAPS
FROM OREGON
MEDFORD, Or., Feb. 2. The cham
ber of commerce at its forum meet
ing today pledged support to the loca?.
American Legion post in its campaign
begunl last night against Japanese
holdings or land purchases, by adopt
ing a resolution asking the legislat
ure to pass an emergency law model
ed after the California alien land law.
The chamber's executive committee
met this aftdrnoon with representa
tives of civic and fraternal organiza
tions to outline a policy to be pursued
to put an end to the threatened Jap
anese menace.
The American legion campaign was
precipitated by the reported plan of
colonizing 1000 Japanese from Cali
fornia in the Rogue river valley be
fore the Oregon legislature can pass
an anti-alien landowning and leas
ing law like California.-
COUNTY SENDS
MEN AWAY FOR
INSTRUCTION
Richard Striker and S. E. Baker,
employees of the county, will leave
today at the county's expense for
Spokane, Wash., where they will re
ceive a. two-weeks course of instruc
tion on the care and maintenance of
"Caterpillar" tractors. Both men
have been operating the county road
tractors for some time past, and the
court decided that rather pay out
money to have the big machines re
paired every so often, they would
have two of the county employees
become experts at it, and therefore
eliminate costly repairs.
According .to County Judge Cross,
experts are required to keep the big
machines in repair and as the Holt
Machinery company offers a free
course of instruction t their plant
in Spokane, it was thought a wise
move to send the two men there, and
pay their running expenses while
learning to be expert "Caterpillar"
tractor repair men.
