CHERRYVILLE ITEMS
SANDY, March 30. The literary so
ciety met Saturday night and Mrs.
Averill and her "Do Something" com
pany had their program first. Little
Floyd Douglass champion speaker for
a small boy said his piece first. Two
other numbers were a humorous dia
logue entitled "The Blessed Baby,"
given by Ralph DeShazer and his sis
ter Mrs. KitzmiUer, and the "Rnuaway
Wedding," Lewis Murray taking the
part of the "bride" and Arthur Nel
son was the groom. They were in such
a hurry to get "hitched" they got the
parson, (Miss Olive Terel) out of bed,
but alas! the parents appeared on the
scene and an exciting time was on
as the curtain went down.
The second half of the program wa3
given by Mrs. Teuscher and her com
pany, entitled "The Winners." They
had several Interesting numbers; one
was the "Cherryville Jazz band," an
other 'The Proposal" in which Sylves
ter Amunsden tries to propose to Alice

Something" company at the next meet
ing, April 8.'
Slim Smith made the round trip with
the mair-the first of the week, but did

Oregon City will not appeal the
decision handed- down by Judge J. U
Campbell restraining the construction
of a city hall on McLoughlin T"rk
The voters, at the coming May elec
tion will decide upon the question of
locatine the city hall on the E. C.
Caufield property, 610 Seventh street,
between Washington and John
Adams. .
These decisions were made at the
regular session of the city council
last evening.
A petition from the Hill Improve
ment club containing about -100 sig
natures asking that the citizens be
afforded an opportunity at the forth
coming election to vote on the loca
tion of the new city hall on the. Cau
field property . was favorably passed
on by the council.
The cost of this site to the city
was mentioned to be in the neighbor
hood o $8000. In the course of the
debate which followed the reading of
the Detition many suggestions em
bracing downtown locations were of
fered by the councilmen. A motion
by Dr. H. S. Mount to rebuild the
present building was found to be de
fective in that it made no provision
for housing the fire apparatus. An
other hill prospect brought to the at
tention of the meeting by councilman
F. H. Cross who explained that the
Singer mill' site by virtue of the fact
that it is dwned by the city would
save the. expense of buying new lots.
No Appeal Planned
City Attorney O. D. Eby in intro
ducing the question of appealing the
recent decision with reference to the
McLoughlin Park gave it as his opin
ion that the chances of reversing
Judge Campbell's order were about
fifty-fifty. The council however
thought that the expenditure entail
ed in carrying the matter to the Su
preme court would not -be justified
and a motion was passed to the effect
that no appeal would be made.
Despite an eloquent plea by Record
er Kelly the civic body ruled that
rather than meet an increase of five
dollars in the rent of the recorder's
office that official and his attendant
paraphenalia should me moved from
the Masonic building to the vacant
quarters in the city hall.
The monthly reports from the var
ious civic departments were read and
adopted. The .finance report gave
rise to some criticism from the point
that members claimed they had m
.i'iffifnnt detail with reference to
the different expenditures. i
The report of the chief of police :
showed that the city treasury naa
benefitted to the extent of $45 in
fines, while the hospitality of the lo-
cal jail had been extended to some
112 hoboes during the montn. ni
Question of retaining four officers
was decisively defeated and"; it was
resolved that the chief and two more
constitute the full city force.
Ferry Fund Paid "
The city recorder was instructed
to draw a -warrant for $500 in favor
of the Oregon City and West Linn
Ferry company, this being the amount
which the city had agreed to contri
bute toward this undertaking.
A petition for the paving of Molal
la avenue was referred to the street
committee with orders to report on
the matter at the next meeting of the
council.
Many instances of garbage being
left lying around and general untidi
ness were commented upon and the
chief of police was instructed to pro
ceed against owners of property who
being advised failed to comply with
the civic ordinance.
A resolution authorizing the city
attorney to uphold the city's interest
in the case of Doty against Oregon
City which is fceing appealed was
adopted.
The city attorney also introduced
an ordinance to permit the transfer
of $2000 from the general fund to
meet an obligation entailed in retiring
a sum of $2500 principal and $1800
interest of the $30,000 refunding
bonds voted last year.

will be used by the South End road
in Oregon City. The cost of the over
head will be $65,000, it is compud.
The plan for the overhead on the
basin route were necessary in order
to definitely determine the proportion
to be paid by the S. P. The railroad
has agreed to contribute the share it
would have to pay on the overhead to
the" cost of constructing the route over
the hill which is favored by the high
way commission. Under the state
law the railroad is forced to pay 40
per cent of 'the cost of crossing struc
tures. This would make their share
$26,000 toward the South End road.
The decision of the highway com
mission is being held up pending the
settlement of the finances between
the corporations which are interested
in the road. The effort to improve
one of the hill routes will depend up
on whether or not sufficient funds
can be raised through the companies
as neither the state or the county can
improve the road within the city and
there are no funds on hand which the
municipality can expend for this
work.
Final arrangements of finances and
the decision as to the routing will
probably be made next week.
