HEALTH OFFICER
OPINION IS GIVEN
TOCOUNTYCOURT
District Attorney Is Asked to
Aid In Clearing Dispute
Over Official Positions;
Final Action Being Delayed.
FILING OF CHARGES
MAY BE CONSIDERED
Salary of Welsh Denied but
Expense Account Allowed
For Considerable Period.
The first official legal opinion up
on a question which has knotted the
threads of official health affaira since
last July, has been prepared by Dis
trict Attorney Livy Stipp at the re
quest of County Judge H- E. Cross.
Information as to the status of JrZ
Orel A. Welsh, and the necessary pro
ceedure to oust him from office, is
given by the district attorney. The
county court was expected to decide
who they are to recognize as health
ofifcer, but no action was taken at
the present term. The request of the
judge for an opinion and the text of
th district attorney's reply, indicate
an effort to settle the dissension, and
point to a probable effort by the court
to secure the dismissal of the health
officer.
Last July, upon grounds that Welsh
was extravagant, the county court
made an effort to combine the posi
tion of health officer, which he holds,
and the county physician. Dr. W. E.
Hempstead was appointed to the joint
office. Welsh refused to step out, and
his position was sustained by the state
board of health. Hempstead, await
ing the decision in the case, has not
been active in the fight, which has
been waged between Welsh and the
court.
No Salary Paid Welsh
Sine July, no salary payments
have been mad by th court to
Welsh, though his expenses for sev
eral months, including last month,
have been allowed by the court.
Outlining the status of the affair,
District Attorney Stipp writes as fol
lows: Th law respecting the County
Health Officer reads as follows: "
"They (meaning the ' county
board of health) shall elect a se
cretary who shall be in possession
of a license issued to him by the
State Board of Medical examin
ers, who shall b the health offi
cer of the appointing board when
so commissioned by the state
board of health, and he shall hold
his office so long as h shall faith-
fully perform the duties thereof."
The same section also provides that
the state board of health shall have
power to remove, at any time, any
county health officer for intemper
ance, failure to collect vital statistics,
failure to obey rules and regulations,
keep records, make reports, or answer
letters of inquiry orfloey oraers oi i"e
Etato hMith officer concerning the
health of the people. There is noth
ing stated in the law which gives the
state board of health authority to re
move a health officer for any other
cause than those enumerated and
there is no provision giving any court
or board, including the county board
of health, specific authority for bring
ing about the removal of a county
Health Officer on account of failure
faithfully to perform his duties.
Court May Prefer Charges '
If th charges which you wish to
prefer come within any of the enumer
ated classes, the Court ltseir or me
Cnuntv Judge or one of the Commis
sioners individually may prefer the
charges to the state board of health.
If it is for failure to faithfully per
form the duties of his office in respect
to other things, then 4t may De mat
the county board of health would have
jurisdiction and authority and the
charges could be made by the county
court or by any member of the County
Court acting alone.
If, however, the charges are for a
violation of the law or malfeasance in
office, it might be that the charges
should b brought directly before the
grand jury. Not knowing, however,
th character of the charges contem
plated, it is impossible ror me 10 gi
specific directions and it may be that
the local board of health would be
held to- have no authority so far as
hearing and determining any case is
concerned. The law i3 entirely inde
finite and as to what it exactly is. is
nothing more than a guess.

COMPROMISE ON
CITY HALL SITE
IS AGREED UPON
Representatives of Hill and
Down Town District Meet
To Effect Settlement of
Location of New Building.
MATTER TO BE PUT
UP TO CITY COUNCIL
Title to Property Is Clouded;
Right of Municipality to
Use Land to be Determined.
A compromise location for the pro
posed city hall, agreed upon last
night by representatives of th down
town and hill factions, will be pre
sented to the city council. At a meet
ing last evening of a number of men
who are interested in the selection of
the location, it was decided to recom
mend the Singer Hill site, at th top
of Eighth street. The proviso is at
tached that the fire engine shall b
located so as to be on a level with
the top of th bluff.
The joint meeting was brought
into session in an effort to affect
some agreement which would end the
long drawn out battle over the city
hall. Threats of recalls and injunc
tions which would indefinitely hold
up the proceedings were bared, and
a general sentiment prevailed that
some action, agreeable to both fac
tions, must be taken.
Plans Not Definite
The plan for the Singer Hill site is
not definitely worked out, and is to
be left to the engineers and the coun
cil to determine. Two' locations are
projected. One is north of the pres
ent Eighth street steps, and would en
tail the construction of a cement wall
for the north side of the building. Th
other proposed Bite is -just south of
the steps where the fire bell tower
stands at the present time. This would
necessitate considerable rock excava
tion. A committee composed of L. A.
Morris, Carl Green, John Morris, Ed
Johnson, J. R. Stafford, Walter Lit
tle and L. A. Henderson was appoint
ed to take the matter up with the
council. An efofrt is to be made to
secure the withdrawal of th other
plans which were to b outlined to th.e
voters in May. The question of pur
chasing the Caufield property is
ready for the ballot, - petitions are
completed for th bond recall and pe-
titions are - being circulated to place
the old Main street location up as a
site for the new building.
Vote Is Unanimous
The approval of the compromise
site, though considerably discussed,
was unanimous. There is consider
able contention over th exact design
of th structure but the impossibility
of arranging the details without the
employment of an engineer precluded
definite action upon this point last
night.
Th title to the Singer Hill site is
somewhat clouded, but It is generally
believed that the property is owned?
by the city. It was originally deeded
to Oregon City by John McLoughlin,
but no special purposes for Its use
were Bet aside. Later, th heirs of
McLoughlin deeded the tract to Sing
er, who constructed a mill. The mill
property changed hands and was sold
for taxes. Later, during th Oregon
California Land Grant suit, it was de
cided that the property reverted back
to th city. Sine then it has been
abandoned and considered as a pub
lic thoroughfare.
One of the contentions in the use
of the hill site is the location of th
fir truck, which would b permanent
ly placed on the hill, but it is not ex
pected that any other arrangement
can be made that will secure any sup
port from the Hill section. The ar
rangement would also practically lo
cate the jail down town, as the en
trance would be from Eighth street.
