Road niaKtcr Veon is expected to attend the next meeting; and explain plans of the county -with reference to the pavlns; of the county roads, and what the citizens of Gresham will have to do to pret its streets improved under the hew plan.

It la proposed to assess property for half a mile on each Bide of the county roads. Opinion Ready Thursday Probably. Although there is still some uncer ' tainty about the Municipal Civil Serv ice Board being able to complete the. preparation of a written opinion by Thursday in the cases of the 11 police men recently heard by the Board on charges perferred against them by Mayor Albee, there is a chance that the opinion will be ready to "make public at the Thursday session.
