SHAlf S RETENTION URGED BY PEOPLE (Continued from page 1.1 Daring the present year the town has been well governed. Nowhere Is this snore emphasised than In the no lle department, which has been a revenue-producer. in the eleven months ending December 1 the city has received from fines and ball for feltnres more than 11,400, which ex ceeds the salary of the Chief of Po lice. The people of Oregon City arc probably not familiar with thla branch of the municipality's finances, bat to City Recorder's books show that dur ing the twelve months of 1110 the to tal revenue from the polio depart mnt waa $350.60. . It has been whispered that the "free and eajr" population of ths town ar looking forward to what Is commonly known as a ,,wlde-ope" town, and that wires have already been laid for games, slot machine and all of tae ether money-getting device that nourlsned In OregoL City In yean gfJtie by. The check-rein. Loweverv to these proepecu. will pro-vably be found In th city cmncll, which will no doubt be opposed to a change In the present admlnlntraMve policy, so far as It re late to the pleasure that are derived after the day light hours. The Enter prise hat even been Informed that Ave of the nine councilman have agreed to refuse to- hnrm the nomination of Mr. Bums aa Chlf of Police, should his name be sent to the council, and that these same five coiincllmen are unanimous In their opinion that Chief Bhaw should be retained. Chief Bhaw feels bis position keen ly. For seventeen years he braved all sorts of danger In long night shifts, and obtained his sleep when other people were np snd abroad. He made such a fine record on the night force, Oiat Mayor Brownell offered htm a place as Chief, and Shaw took It only after earnest solicitation on the part of Mr. Brownell and certain of the law-loving people of the community. He has made good and he knows It. The Enterprise wishes thst Mayor elect Dtmlck would do himself the Justice to speak out and forever set at rest the ugly rumors that have been placed In circulation relative to the executive attitude In the new administration.
