Fire Construction Required
The building code provides for the
construction within the downtown dis
trict of only fireproof buildings, and
the fireproof construction of all re
pair work.
The question of Overdrafts in the
street fund was aired in the action up
on the payment of the month's bills
for the street department's expenses.
The use of 1900 for the paving of
Molalla Ave. leaves a technical short
age in the street department fund.
Councilman H. S. JHount, head of the
street department voted against the
allowance of the claims on the ground
that there was no money in the fund
and that under the charter only the
specific budgeted amount could be
spent for street purposes.
An opinion from City Attorney O.
D. Eby was read pointing out the ne
cessity of -following the budget but
saying also that funds could ibe trans
ferred from surplus balances to meet
, deficiencies.
Surplus Is Used Up
Councilman Fred Metzner, also on
the streets committee, objected to
Mount's attitude, saying that the Mol
alla paving should have been charged
against the general fund. Mount citedj
that the general fund was all spent
too and that no surplus to transfer
remains. City Recorder C- W. Kelly
explained that the deficiency will be
met this year by borrowing from
special funds where balances are avail
able and that provision for paying the
funds back has been made in the 1923
budget out of the road fund.

Cases Pending
Of the four, only Walters' case
has been disposed of by the supreme
court, that tribunal having upheld the
conviction and verdict of the lower
court. Since all appeals of capital
punishment cases to the supreme court
have been futile since the re-enactment
of the capital punishment law
in Oregon, there is little hope for
the three whose cases are still pend
ing befora the state's highest courts.
Friends and relatives of the con
demned men are doubtless pinning
their hope to commutation to life im
prisonment by the new administra
tion. New Policy Possible
Governor Olcott, while not a be
liever in capital punishment, has been
consistent in his policy of refusing
to interfere with 'the expressed will
of the people, since no recommenda
tions for clemency in any case have
reached him from authorities having
having to do with the trial. This
policy apparently has been the logical
one to adopt. While, there is a dif
ference in the circumstances of crimes,
few men care to assume the Individ-,
ual responsibility of splitting the hairs
of discrimination after the state's ab
lest jurists have passed on the case.
What Governor-elect Pierce's pol
icy may be, however, is a matter of
conjecture.
It is apparent now that one or two
executions may take place during the
session of the legislature. This will
be unusual, and will afford some of
the state's lawmakers an opportunite
to get some first hand information on
the administration of an important .
state law.
