Effective' immediately, pool halls in
Oregon City will be required to post
$500 bond and to have their applica
tions passed on by the city council.
Notice to this effect was given at the
council meeting Wednesday night,
when Chief of Police May was in
structed to notify owners of the es
tablishments to prepare their applica
tions at once.
The council is slated to take action
upon the individual applications Jan
uary 13 at a special session.
A large crowd, which filled the
council chambers to overflowing,
gathered at the meeting last night,
but were disappointed. It had been
expected that the protests slated from
the pool hall owners would develop
some snappy arguments. Difficulties
were ironed out at a private session
with Mayor Shannon during the af
ternoon.
The requirements made by the
council involve only the enforcement
of laws already on the books. Regular
applications for licenses have , not
been filed with the council by the ma
jority of the pool halls and none have
given the required bond. It is fur
ther understood that the mayor's rul
ing, closing the pool halls on Sunday
is to be carried out to the letter under
the new orders.
The council transacted very little
routine business'. Chief of Police May
was instructed to work city prisoners
on the streets and a petition for an
arc light at 7th and Harrison was re
ferred to the street committee.

Aftrmni under tha nlrt r -i r r :

i APPROPRIATION CUT,
Wednesday by County Clerk Fred J.
Oregon City's inter-urban bus law
'passed muster in the lower courts
when Judge J. U. Campbell held that
it was valid.
. The case came to trial in the ac
tion brought up in the circuit court
for a writ of review .from the record
er's court. E. William Dent, manager
of the Portland-Salem stage company,
was arrested for violation of the law
which requires that all busses o r
trucks operating through Oregon City
to and from points outside its cor
porate limits must apply for franchise
before they can pass over the city
streets. The action is in the nature
of a test case.
Although Judge Campbell's ruling
would establisn the validity of the or
dinance, it is understood that some
legal complications may arise due to
the recent enactment by the state of
laws governing the operation of mo
tor busses, and it is questioned wheth
er or not the state requirements will
supercede municipal police power and
make it impossible for Oregon City
to pass special regulations.
It is understood that the matter is
to be carried to the supreme court,
although no appeal has yet been filed.
The suggestion has been made that
in order to avoid the complications
likely to' arise due to the new state
legislation, that a new ordinance be
drafted, but it Is believed that in view
of Judge1 Campbell's decision, this
will not be done.

Miller of the issuance of licenses dur
ing the past 12 months;
A decrease of 906 in the number of
licenses issued Is evidenced over'1920,
and the revenue last year was $5335
as against $4678.25 for the year previous.
FEE IS INCREASED
During the first part of the yeai,
licenses, were issued at $1.50 each,
and $3 for a combination hunters-and
fisherman's license. February '21,
this was boosted to $3 each and $5
for a combination license. Issuance
of special licenses to boys between. 14
and 18 years of age was allowed at
the old price. The law also abolished
the allowance of five per cent of the
collections' to be retained by the
counties and under the present rules,
no money is given the counties to
pay for the expense of issuing the
certificates.
The difference in the cost of single
licenses and combination licenses
made a large increase in the sale of
the latter during the past year. They
increased from 68 to 384. Angler's
licenses however dropped from 2011
to 1110 and hunter's licenses from
966 in 1920 to 624 in 1921.
FREE PERMITS ISSUED
There were 63 free licenses issued
to civil war veterans in 1921 as
against 113 the year before. This
is accounted for the fact that issu
ance of these is required but once.
Therewere 23 of the new boy's hun
ter's licenses issued last year and 50
angler's licenses. Issuance of lost
certificates decreased 5 last year over
1920.
The total number of licenses issued
in 1921 was 2287 as against 3193 the
year before.

Condemnation of the action taken
by the taxpayers who at the 1922 bud
get meeting- cu the appropriation for
the county club leader off the list,
was voiced at the meeting of the ex
ecutive committee of the farm bureau
Wednesday afternoon.
Sentiment over the county, mem
bers of the bureau stated, was not
represented by the action taken at
the budget meeting. The pruning of
the agricultural appropriations so as
to eliminate the club leader's work,
was termed the result of action taken
by a number of cranks, and not an
index to the general feeling through
out the different districts. ,
Speaking -of Molalla O. R. Daugh
erty, president of the farm bureau for
this county stated that a general feel,
ing. in favor of the work of the club
leader was manifested. This was
voiced by other members of the com
mittee Vho stated that they had
found nothing but the keenest disap
proval over the action taken at the
meeting last week.
SENTIMENT SHCfWN
"The Farm Bureau," said Mr.
Daugherty in discussing the sentiment
at the meeting, "is heartily in' favor
of the continuation of the club work.
The enthusiasm that has been dis
played has been seconded by actual -results,
and the net profits from the
work above the costs of its direction,
have been more than 100 per cent.
"I am unable to say whether or not
any movement is to be launched to se
cure an appropriation for this work
during the coming year," he con
tinued. "But it is my earnest belief
that the majority of the farmers and
taxpayers of the county are ready to
take exception to the action of the
budget meeting."

meetings to be held in the county,
January 30 to February 4 were made
at the meeting Wednesday. The ses
sions, of which six are to be held,

That the discontinuance of the is
suance of war savings stamps does
not affect the value of thrift stamps,
is the announcement made by the
local postoffice. Under the. new rtil-,
ing, short term treasury certificates
displace the war savings stamps, but
thrift stamps may be applied upon
the purchase of these certificates or
redeemed for cash at face value.
The new certificates, explains As
sistant Postmaster William Howell,
are issued at a fixed charge, maturing
five years from the date of issue. The
local office sells the $25 and $10o cer
tificate, the cost of which is $20 and
$80 respectively, being redeemable at
par in five years time. , .
Thrift stamps are not being- issued
under the new regulations, but in
their place treasury saving stamps,
of $1 value, are issued. These draw
no interest, but are applicable upon
purchase of a treasury certificate.
These latter draw 4 1-4 per cent com
pound interest.
The postal department also an
nounces the discontinuance of docu
mentory stamps on parcel post ship
ments. These amounted to a charge
of one cent for every 25 cents in post
age or for every fraction of 25 cents.
The proprietary stamp tax, required
on drugs and cosmetics has also been
abolished.
Along with the other changes, there
is a slight reduction in the price of
stamped envelopes. - -
