Council Pledges $500 Toward
Keeping of Vehicle Travel
Between Oregon City And

COUNTY IS RAPPED
FOR DEAL ON BRIDGE
Stockholders of Company To
Provide for Transportation
Hold Election of Officers.
Based upon sentiment that no co
operation can be expected from the
L wuose negotiations in
liie??rd A? new Willamette river
city council last night voted to give
$500 toward the fund being raised by
local merchants for the operation of
a ferry -to care for vehicle traffic
while the new bridge is under con
struction. When a committee, representing
the merchants who are sponsoring the
privately owned ferry appeared, ask
ing for aid from the city, several of
the councilmen stated that they be
lieved it was the county's place to
take care of vehicle traffic as it was
through their laxity that no provision
was made.
For some time the proposition of
making an appropriation out of the
road fund, and passing the buck to
the county for payment, was talked
but did not meet with general approv
al. It was then decided that in as
much as the court had failed to live
up to its agreement to take care ot
traffic, the city should keep faith with
the business men and voted to make
a contribution to the fund, ordering
the city attorney to draw up and pre
sent the necessary ordinances for ac
tion at the next session.
At a meeting of the committee held
last evening, the report of the incor
poration was made and the stock
holders elected W. A. Huntley, J. A.
Brady and A, G. Beattie, president,
vice-president and secretary of the
Oregon City-West Linn ferry company
Clarence Farr, Henry Larsen, Henry
Streibig and H. E. Strait were elected

MOVE TO CLOSE
POOL HALLS ON
SUNDAYS LOSES
New Ordinance Giving Local
Billiard Rooms Privilege to
Operate Seven Days a Week
Is Passed by City Council.
INVECTIVES FLY AS
SESSION WAXES HOT
Lunch Counters are Banned by
Act; Bond of $500 Will be
Required to Get License.
Pool halls in Oregon City will re
main open on Sundays.
The much-contested ordinance reg
ulating these places was passed by
the city council Wednesday night, giv
ing them the right to operate on the
Sabbath, The same ordinance puts
the pool halls under $500 bond, gives
the council the right to revoke their
licenses, and prohibits lunch . counters
from operating in the halls.
The vote was six to one. Yes
Jack, Cross, Krassig, Mount, Petzold,
Metzner. No Van Auken. Absent
Bridges. .
PETITION PRESENTED
A petition signed by 275 people was
presented asking that a Sunday clos
ing provision be re-inserted in the or
dinance. The heighth of the discus
sion was reached when J. E. Hedges
was making a plea for the opening of
the billiard halls. He was comparing
the closing order to many ludicrous
law8 in other states.
"Why in Connecticut," he said,
"there is a law preventing a man from
kissing his wife on Sunday."
Reverand A. H. Thompson, pastor
of the Methodist church jumped to his
feet. "You're a liar! That isn't so,"
he cried. ,
J. Spiker then took up the argu
ment, scoring Hedges for his state
ments to the effect that other denom
inations, such as the Seventh Day Ad
ventists, if observed, would close the
pool halls on what are ordinarily con
sidered week days.
LAWYER SCORED
"Why ia it we prevent minors from
going into pool halls?" he asked
Hedges.
"Because such men as you demand
it," Hedges replied.
"No sir," cried Spiker, "It i3 because
the atmosphere is so demnab'le that
they can't come in." He then talked
with some vigor on the religious side
of the question.
"That is fanatisism" returned Hed
ges in answer to his remarks.
"Take it as you please, you're as big
a fanatic as there is in the1 house," .
Spiker returned. 1 -
At this point W. W. Wodbeck re
lieved a tense situation with a humor
ous observance. "Both men are
right," he said. "That law is on the
statute books, but it has never been
enforced. I understand that several
lawyers, and a preacher have kissed
their own, as well a.s other men's
wives on Sunday without being
prosecuted there."
MORAL UPLIFT URGED
Rev. H. D. Edgar spoke, urging the
Sunday closing law as of benefit to
the moral welfare of the community.
This was also urged by Chris Scheu-
bel, who advocated the closing and
the establishment of a community
club as well.
Reverend Willis Pettlbone urged
the closing law, saying that he had
signed the petition as he favored the
closing of all business and amusement
houses on Sunday.
Councilman Metzner voiced as his
belief that it was no worse to play
pool on Sunday than on a week day.
Petzold, though he voted for the or
dinance, stated that he thought the
council had gone too far in prohibit
ing lunch counters from operating, as
they were well regulated.
Dr. Mount put the blame for condi
I tinns at the door nf the narents. and
showed through analogus cases that
it is impossible for a municipality to
solve the personal family problems,
and hope to keep boys and men home
instead of out frequenting a pool hall.
He said that all that could be done
was to provide adequate regulation
for these places.
