Annexation to Be
Voted on August 4
OSWBGO, July 26 On August 4,
residents of Old Town and South
Town of Oswego, will vote on the
annexation of the section of the town
lying east and south of Oswego Lake
and as far west as the McLean camps.
There is a general sentiment in favor
of combining all these districts into
one city, the principal one being to
cut the taxes and also to enable the
retention of a large sum of road tax
money which now annually goes into
the Clackamas county treasury. "Gas
and city water are other luxuries with
which the residents of the territory
now lying outside the city would be
provided.
The understanding is that borne
rule would govern to a large extent
in each precinct and that the joining
hands by the city of Oswego with
the larger area would not give the
newly made part of the city the power
to dominate the affairs of the whole
town. The polling place in the unan-,
nexed district will be the Odd Fel
lows hall which is the center of the
place. "

WOMAN SHOOTS SISTER
WHO STOLE HUSBAND
NEW YORK, July 26. "I to!d him
he could have any other woman but
my own flesh and blood," shouted
Mrs. John Reisler, wife of "John the
Barber,' internationally known sports
man, as she was arraigned today in
Brooklyn on a charge- of murdering
Miss Bertha Katz, the "other woman,"
and her sister.
Mrs. Reisler, who charged that he
dead sister broke up her home, ex
claimed she "had .waited a long time
to get her."
Miss Katz was shot to death in her
boudoir early today.
Four relatives of the sportsman
were arrested on homicide charges.
The scorned Mrs. Reisler rushed to
the hospital where her sister lay dying
and, shaking her fist, yelled, "It was
I who shot you and you know it." " The
dying woman " had previously identi
fied Mrs. Reisler's son, Morris, as her
assailant.
Morris "confessed" shooting his
aunt, but. police believe he did so to
protect his mother. Morris, his broth
er George and the mother were all in
court in connection with the death of
thAii- relative -
Legal authority seemed to hinge on
the point whether the motor vehicle
money is to be listed as tax money or
as a special fund.
If it is a special fund, the county
commission can appropriate it with
out placing it in the budget, members
of both 'county and state highway
commissions declared.
If it is a tax, then it must go in the
budget, where the tax commission,
which wiped out the proposed a"
riation this year, would get another
crack at it.
Legal opinion on the point was di
vided.
Assistant Attorney General Devers,
advisor of the highway commission,
said the money should be defined as
a special fund and need not be placed
in the buget.
Deputy District Attorney Pierce,
advisor to the county commission,
said the money should be defined as
a tax and placed in the budget.
Because of Pierce's construction of
j the law, County Commissioner Rudeen
announced at tne outset oi a joint
meeting of the two commissions this
morning that he would vote against
the appropriation.
- That prevented passage of the res
olution. - x
Aid Is Offered
The county' commissioners offered
to pass another resolution pledging it
to do everything in its power to fur
nish the money, but Commissioner
Booth, of the highway body, said such
a resolution would be no more valua
ble than no resolution at all.
The highway commission, : he de
clared, intends to do nothing further
about the loop road until it gets a def
inite promise in writing from the
county commission, which originally
started agitation for the road, that it
will pay its part. Clackamas, county
has paid its share, he pointed out.
The county commissioners insisted
that they were eager to pay the mon- ,
ey if they could find legal mean of
doing it.
To that end Devers and Pierce were
asked to go over the law togetherand
see if they couldn't agree on a. con
struction that would allow the com
missioners to promise definitely that
the money would be furnished.
