OPINION CAUSES SURPRISE
Commission Faces Alternatives of

Rating by Court or Select
ing East Side Location.
When City Attorney LaRoche gave
an opinion yesterday to the effect that
there is a serious question as to the
right of the city to use the Market
block on the West Side as a site for
the proposed new $500,000 auditorium
building, the auditorium site question
was thrown into a worse muddle than
has been at any other, time during
the years city officials have been try-
ng to decide on a site and commence
ork on the building.
Mr. LaRoche says the only way the
city can be sure the Market block is
available for the auditorium building
to have work of the building started
the site as officially selected by
mltted at the next meeting of the
Milwaukie Council. 'ihe ordinances
will come up March 10 for considera
tion. The Milwaukie Volunteer Fire
Department has been thoroughly well
organized, and these ordinances are to
supplement its work of protecting
property. Officers will be elected
March 2.

LINNTON OFFICER FINED
Marshal Who Beat Sailor "Without
Cause Is Found Guilty.
For assaulting Emil Ekholm, a sailor
from the steamer Marlborough Hill
docked at Linnton, Marshal Treber, of
Linnton, was fined ?25 yesterday by
District Judge Jones. The testimony
showed. Judge Jones ruled, that with
out making an arrest before or after
and without showing any official au
thority. Treber beat Ekholm on the
head with a club, after ordering the
sailor off the street.
"There was no evidence even that
the man was drunk," said Judge Jones,
and a person who Is committing or
threatening no crime cannot be driven
from the street without a reason, even
by an officer, nor has the officer
right to assault him."
the Council by ordinance a year ago,
and then permit some person to start
proceedings, in court to settle the ques
tion of the right of the city to use the
block for that purpose. ,,
Opinion la Surprise,
The opinion to the effect that the
Market block title might be clouded,
if used for any other purpose than
public markets, came as a surprise to
the members of the Commission and
others who have been following the
auditorium proposition since it came
before the Commission as a likely site
for the building. "It was all the more
surprising because of .the fact that ex
City Attorney Grant, in 1911, handed
down an opinion to the effect that the
title was good and that the block
could be used for the auditorium.
W. D. Fenton, a member of the old
auditorium committee, said that he con
sidered that Mr. LaRoche in his deci
sion shows signs of being exceedingly
careful in dealing with the subject.
'I think that under the circum
stances," said Mr. Fenton, "the only
thing for the City Commission to do is
to let a small contract for part of the
work and let the men go ahead and
then have some citizen bring suit and
enjoin proceedings and carry the case
Into the court of last resort, which in
this case is the Supreme Court of the
state."
Commissioners Delay Action.
After Mr. LaRoche announced his
decision members of the commission
were unwilling to express their views
as to what to do. Mayor Albee said
he wanted to think the proposition
over before deciding, and Commission
ers Dleck and Brewster were of the
same opinion. It is probable, there
fore, that the question will not come
up again unutil next week.
The Commission has two courses to
follow under the new conditions. One
is to take tlte advice of Mr. LaRoche
and encourage some person to bring a
test case into the courts and get a de
cision,, and the other is to select an
East Side site. Inasmuch as Commis
sioners Dleck and Brewster already
have spoken in favor of the West Side
and Mayor Albee says he favors the
Market block if it can be used, it
seems likely that the question will be
threshed out in the courts.
It Is estimated by W. D. Fenton and
other attorneys that a decision could
be obtained from the Supreme Court
within 30 days.
Opinion Is Explained.
In explaining his opinion. .Mr. La
Roche says:
"There Is no doubt that the rights
which the original owner and his
heirs may have had in tha Market
block are absolutely cut off and ex
tinguished by a warranty, deed given
subsequent to the dedication of the
block for market purposes. But the
dedication, if there was a. complete
and legal dedication, was made to the
public, not to the City of Portland.
The City of Portland in such a case
is a trustee for the public and in case
of a dedication to a certain exclusive
use the city would have the power to
regulate, but mot to misuse or divert
the use from the restricted purposes;
in case of such misuse or diversion the
city could be enjoined by any inter
ested citizen."
