GASOLINE PAYMENT HALTS County Clerk Restrained From Giv- ins Warrants for Private Autos, founlv Clerk Beverida-e waa re- restrained1 from obeying the peremp tory order of the county commissioners to give out warrants on the county treasurer for $332 in payment for gas oline and oil used In their private au tomobiles, by an injunction granted by Circuit Judge Kavanaugh yesterday to hold until the trial of the issue in the case, next fall. - John W. Kaste. Portland attorney who brought the suit, as a taxpayer, against the county clerk and county treasurer, alleging misuse of funds by the county commissioners and demanding that no money be paid out for their private expenditures from connty funds, wins the first round of a bout of indeterminate length with, the commissioners by the decision yesterday. "It Is now up to the other side, said Mr. Kaste. "It may be the case will n- r come to issue, but if it does not 11 money will remain in the county tr...sury. The county clerk and county treasurer have no personal interest In the payment of the commissioners' pri vate debts with county funds and are not likely to press the case unless pre vailed upon by the commissioners, who are in danger of personal suit to collect the money for their gasoline books. "It Is possible that the Standard Oil company and the Associated OH com pany may prefer to intervene as parties in the suit and demand a showdown, to find out if they can ever expect their money from the county or whether it will be necessary to collect their bills from the commissioners personally." 19 SOLDIERS DUE TODAY Troop Movement Wanes, but Port land Will Entertain All.
