MAYQBTAINREFUND Appropriation for Locks at Oregon City Objected To. REPEAL TO BE DEMANDED Many Legislators Feel That tavern ment Should Boy rubllc Utility and Not Burden State With Part Payment of Costs. Repeal of the law appropriating S3O0.000 of the state's money toward the proposed purchase of the Oregon City locks will be asked of the coming Legislature, if local gossip can be relied on. Agitation for the recall of this appropriation, which was set aside by the 10)7 Legislature, al ready has started among members of the delegation from this county, who con tend that if the property at Oregon City is to be acquired, it is up to the uov eminent to provide the necessary funds. The bill carrying this appropriation was enacted at the last session of the Legis lature, after a decidedly hard flgnu It was introduced by B. F. Jones, wiio repre sented Lincoln and Polk Counties in the House. The terms of the bill were that the money should -be available for three years, to be used only in event that the Government provided the balance of the money that would be required to com plete the purchase of the property. While In the city recently Mr. Jones, who will again represent the same two counties in the House, announced that unless Sen ator Fulton succeeded in bringing about Immediate action by Congress favorable to the purchase of the locks, he, at the coming session, would -seek to have ex tended the time In which these funds appropriated by the state can be used. Otherwise, the appropriation would lapse and become Inaccessible before another session of the Legislature could convene. Immediately following this announce ment by Mr. Jones, a movement opposing his plan was initiated among Legislators elect from this county. Assurances of support from other members of the Leg islature in the outside counties are said to have been received by the Multnomah County men. Those advocating the repeal of this law and the restoration of the J.100.000 to the general uses of the state maintain that. In the first place, this ap propriation was excessive. They contend that the property-owners In the state are taxed sufficiently for purely state purposes, without being ex pected to furnish the means, or at least considerable part, with whlcn a public utility, such as the locks, shall be pur-' chased. The anti-locks appropriation campaign Is being waged on the theory that all of the funds for any such public benefit should be provided by the Gov ernment direct.

The forenoon session was taken up largely in a general discussion of "Uniform Accounting.'- which was introduced by Frank Dabney. of the Seattle Electric Company.

"Unlforn Method of Computing Rates and Possi bility of Uniform Rates for- Small Com panies" was the subject of an address' by M. C. Osborn. of the Washington Water Power Company. It was after wards discussed by Morton Ransdell. of the Seattle-Tacoma Power Company.

The two days session will con clude with a banquet at the Commercial Club tonight- ' for a public park, and has a committee of 14 representative citizens handling the matter. The tract is between East Thirty-first and East Thirty-ninth stieet. on the north side of the Base line, cov ered with flr timber. Charles Mautz, a prominent member of the club, said yes terday: "We want thus entire 4o-acre' tract for park purposes. The land Is centrally located, only a short distance from the carline, and will be accessible from prac tically the whole of the East Side. The land as it stands is now a park and will require little expense, only a few walks and other small improvements being nec essary. It is covered with a natural growth of trees, which can be left stand ing, the land is rolling and is In every way fitted for park purposes. It is much nearer to the center of population than Mount Tabor, where it is proposed to purchase 19 acres. People can walk to the tract In the Ladd farm. "There has already been some nego tiation with the representative of the Ladd estate, and I believe there will be no great diificulty in securing the land wor park purposes. It ought to be se cured as soon as possible. Toe much de lay might mean Its entire loss." FIRE LADDIES HELP GIRL RAISE FUND TO BUY CLOTHES FOR DESERTED CHILD-WIFE. In Pitiable Condition.
