MASS MEETING IS CALLED 'Jtcj-Idcnts Declare They Have Been Tricked Into Signing What They Supposed Free lcllvcry, but Mean Rural Route. Kesldonts of .Arlcta arc agitated over what tlicy consider nn attempt to abolish their local postofllec, and charge under handed proccedinss in the effort to secure rural delivery for Ients at their expense. A meeting will bo held this evening at Laurelwood Hall for the purpose of dip cussing this situation. In accordance with the following call: Citizens: You hnv been fcroMy deceived Into elcnlnc a petition to rotnbllrh a free rurl mall route from Ientn. which will vbollsh the Arleta poMofflce unfl retard th ree delivery service we are all stroiiK tor. TUe petition that ha been presented you Is not for the fre city delivery you contem plated when your houses were numbered. Mnny who rlsned It now ee their mistake, atid denounce the unprincipled manner In which they have been deceived. Come out to Laurelwocd Hall tonight. Saturday. April 7. at $ o'clock, and Join In a remonstrance. We want free delivery, not a rural rout Jrom Lents. CITIZENS. The Mount Scott country, which has neen growing very rapidly lately, extends from Anabcl Station, on the Xount Scott car line, to XentP. a distance of about 24 miles, the diMrlet being supplied by two postofflccj. Arleta and Lent. Residents of Arleta, in their endeavor to secure free postnl dcliwry. have placed street signs, numbered their houses. Im proved their streets and otherwise taken steps to achie-o the desired result. They claim that Lent, which already possesses free rural delivery. Is imbued with expan sion Ideas in this respect, and is ambi tious to absorb their territory, it Is with a view of protesting against these en croachments that the meeting has been called. It Is also charged by the people of Ar leta that some ono from Lents circulated a petition In their town calculated to de ceive its residents Into thinking: It was a petition to establish free delivery in Ar leta. when, as a matter of fact. It related to the complete confiscation of whatever postal facilities the town was already en Joying. The solicitor Is eald to have rep resented that he was in the employ of the Government mall service, and by false representation, It is charged, secured many signatures to a petition directly against their own interests.

GiTY FUNDS IDLE Mills' Amendment Proves to Be Disastrous. BANKS WILL NOT ACCEPT Xo Revenue In the Way or Interest Can Be Obtained for the Money Which tho City Now "Fosscsscs. By virtue of the Mills amendment to the city charter at the last session of tho Legislature, the city funds are doomed to He Idle durinr the year, or until the atti tude of local bankers change or the law Is changed. Tee former seems unlikely, and the latter presents difficulties, as It was passed by the referendum after passing, the Legislature, and through some misappre hension, the popular majority was large. City Attorney McJfary has advised City Treasurer Wcrlcln that no liberal con struction can be placed on the law In re gard to dty money, and the statutes muit be complied with. This opinion was ren dered a few weeks ago. when a communi cation was received from the Portland Trust Company, stating It was ready to give up a deposit of 5S.X0 rather than comply with the new requirements that sums greater than the deposits would be demanded for securities, and the negotia ble paper must be of the-gilt-edgcd order. City Treasurer Werlein. after visiting all the city banks and making an unsuccess ful effort to secure bids for city money, has given up hope that the funds will be able to cam anything for the dty during the coming year. "I felt at the time the amendment passed. said he. "that If It could be made operative, the best securi ties were none too good for tho city's money, bat If we cannot get it to work we shall have to do the beat we can. I am waiting to hear from the Cotradl in the matter to see what we shall do with the money. The amendment will not work, at all. The dty eventually has to ptjr (be cost of the securities pt up for the deposits, for If the conditions were not so rigorous, the dty would get better is teres." An ebvisus reasen why the law will not Lprove satisfactory Is the fact that if tbe bonds placed with the dty as security for the deposits should go up in price from any reason, the banks at any time would call la the securities and sell them, at the same time surrendering the deposits. Safe-deposit vaults or bank coffers, where the cash will lie Idle without earn ing the taxpayers a single cent during the year seem the result of the measure so earnestly championed by A. L. aillls, head; of the banking trust. Progress of Registration. Registration Is progresing favorably, and the total number up to date is near the 19.000 mark.
