Water Commissioner Says He
Will Oooose Attempt To
Accept Revised Proposals
Plans for the city hall building on
Singer hill, as originally drawn, and
as revised, were abandoned by the
city council at a special meeting last
evening, and the council ordered a
measure put on the November election
ballots asking the voters of Oregon
City to select another site for the hall.
This action was taken because it was
decided that it would be impossible to
build a city hall on the Singer Hill site
with the money voted and available
for the building.
The special meeting was called td
consider bids that had been adver
tised for the erection of the hall on
Singer Hill. No bids were received,
however.
Alderman. F. H. Cross moved that
the revised plans, calling for the
omission of art stone and ornamental
plastering, and necessitating the con
struction of a 35 foot approach and
steps,, be adopted. Councilman Bridg
es seconded the motion and then with
drew his second. Dr. Mount then, sec
onded it, the motion was put to a vote
and lost, no affirmative vote m being
cast. These plans, if adopted, would
in addition to the changes in the
construction, have necessitated an ad
ditional xpenditure of $5000 over the
cost of the building, $35,000, the addi
tional costs being for bridge approach;
$1600; 'creek, $250; sewer, $300; con
tractor's bond, $500; architects' fee
$1750, and steps, $100.
William Howell, water commis
sioner, objected to the adoption of the
motion to accept the revised plans,
and said. "If this contract is adopted
this way, I for one will fig-ht It. We
will not have anything when we are
through, and we will be out the $40,
000." Howell contended that the
council would be doing something
they were not authorized in doing if
they paid over $35,000 for the con
struction of the hall.
All the cofcncilmen were present
with the exception of J. E. Jack.
John Bloom, who lives near 4th and
J. Q. Adams streets, asked that some
trees on city property near his home
be removed, in that they obstructed
bis view. No action was taken.
The street committee was ordered
to make a report at the next regular
meeting about the sidewalks that
needed repairing in the city, the walk
near 4th and Monroe streets being
mentioned particularly as being badly
in need of repair.

chasing the man around the flat. ,Lat
er when Hughes arived on the scene

Alleged In Suit
PORTLAND, Aug, 28. Flagrant
abuse of provisions of the initiative
law is alleged In a legal attack launch
ed against methods by which the grad
uated income tax bill of the state

natures to the initiative petition un
der which the bill was filed.
Basically, the complaint focuses up
on the questionable methods of peti
tion circulators and notaries. Fraud

alleged. These charges are backed by
specific cases of persons whose names
appear on the petition. Scores of
these persons will appear as witness
es, it is said, to testify that they did
not sign the petition or were induced
to sign, though ineligible.
It is estimateo that orse to 400
persons will be called, if the case goes
to court as expected, to testify to ir
regularities in the petition. Some, it
was said, will be minors, others al
iens and still others non-residents.
The suit filed yesterday was brought
in the name of John H. Carson, as
district attorney of Marion county,
and names Sam A. Kozer, secretary
of state, as defendant. It is demanded
that Secretary of State Kozer be re
strained from putting the income tax"
measure on the ballot next November

paring and filing the supporting peti
tion. McNarv Will Aid In

As Causes of Movement.
TREASURER ASKED
TO RUN ; DECLINES
Recall Meeting Is Held At
Mount Pleasant on Saturday
And Charged Drawn Up.
A movement to recall Judge Harvey
E. Cross has been started in Clacka
mas county during the lest three or
four days, and County Treasurer W.
W. Everhart has been asked to be
come a candidate for election" to that
office in the November election. At
least one meeting has been held to
take steps to have recall proceedings
started and to secure a candidate for
election to the office.
This meeting was held Saturday
afternoon in the Mount Pleasant dis
trict, and was attended by men from
various sections of the county. It is
understood that OrtVon City, Oswego,
Staford. Estacada and Needy were
represented.
Inefficiency in road work is said
to be one of the major charges to be
preferred and discontent is manifest
ed by those active in the recall move
for what they term the cur reatment
that they receive from the present
judge. They contend that too fre
quently when endeavoring to get an
interview with the judge they cannot
get it, that he is too busy, will no
take time, or listen to them.
It was learned from L. A. Rail, of
Needy, that more formal charges have
been drawn up and. will be available
within a day or two.
A committee called on County
Treasurer Everhart Tuesday, asking
him to allow his name to be used as
candidate for the office of county
judge. It is believed that this com
mittee represents the group who met
at Mount Pleasant Saturday afternoon.
Everhart told the committee that he
would give them his reply within a
coupif of daya
He later informed
the Enterprise that he had definitely
decided not to run for the office. This
decision was made, he stated, on the
grounds that his health would hardly
permit him to perform the duties of
the office and that he had no desire
to enter the race as a recall candi
date. 33 Confidence Men
Taken Prisoner By
Denver Officials
DENVER, Col.. Aug. 25. Using the

trons of summer resorts of their
money in sums ranging from $100 to

INCREASE OF WAGES IS
WANTEDBYRAIL MEN
4000 Maintenance of Way
Men Ask Minimum Rate
Be Fixed at 48c Per Hour.
CHICAGO,- Aug." 2. The first step
for a general increase of wages for
all railroad employes was, taken here
today before the United, States Rail
road Labor board.
Four hundred thousand maintenance
of way men asked their minimum!
wage be fixed at 43 cents an hour.
The present minimum is 23 cents.
If the labor board grants a wage
increase to the maintenance men, oth
er rail unions will immediately ask for
a rehearing of their wage scales.
Grable's opening statement was a
severe jolt to the railroad representa
tives who had assembled for the open
ing of the hearing. No such demands
had previously been made and it fore
casts another bitter fight on the part
of the roads, who had expressed no
objection to giving the maintenance of
way men a raise above the last- cut.
The hearing from the start took on
a political atmosphere which had not
been expected. Grable launched at
once into a discussion of the "living
wage" doctrine, laying the foundation'
apparently for the claims of labor
which will be urged upon Senator
Cummins' attitude of the act, as the
basis for amendment.
