The Standard Store of the Northwest Olds, Wortman & King Reliable Merchandise Reliable Methods AGREEMENT NOT REACHED Result ol Committee's Action Is to Bring Matter Before City Council for Second Time. With Matchless Stocks for the Easter Season! THE MORNING OREGONIAN,' FRIDAY, APRIL 2, 1920 CAUSES OPPQSmON READY Residents of Irvington, through a special committee headed by Charles Malarkey have declared that the pro posed telephone exchange building at East Twenty-fourth ,and Stanton etreets must not be constructed within the limits of Irvington. This decision was made Wednesday night and came to officials of the lacific Telepho'ne & Telegraph com pany as an "eleventh-hour" blow. Of ficials of the company contend that the committee representing the prop erty owners after careful investiga tion had approved of not only the location of the building, but of archi tectural plans. The subject will now come before the city council for the second time. A hearing will be held at 2 o'clock thl3 afternoon when the comnvittee of the property owners and repre sentatives of the telephone company Will be heard. Some weeks ago the council refused to grant the permit after residents or Irvington had protested against it. The engineers of the telephone com pany contended that unless the build ing was erected on the proposed cite or within 200 feet of such site, ade quate service could not be maintained. Following the refusal of the city council, the company's officials con ferred with residents of the com munity and entered into negotiations with a special committee. This com mittee named City Engineer Laur eaard to study the situation from an engineering standpoint. He reported nut the structure would necessarily have to be at Twenty-fourth and Stanton streets if proper service was to be given by the telephone com pany. Being apparently convinced that it must be located within the boundaries of Irvington, the committee then took lip the subject of the style of edifice. A. E. Doyle was named as architect to represent the property owners. Changes were ordered which were adopted by the telephone company of ficials, it is claimed, and an agree ment was drawn up to finally settle the subject. On Wednesday nisht the committee met and after several hours' discus Bon the telephone company officials were notified that the property own ers refused to give consent to the erection of the proposed building.

Letter to Commission Expresses Satisfaction With Conduct of Corporation and Owner, SALEM, Or., April 1. nis H. Stovall of Fernwooi Benton county, and received at the offices of the Oregon public service commission here today. "I understand that certain parties have addressed a letter or letters to you, in which the statement was -offered that I have a 'kick' to register against our beloved Mr. Jones and the telephone company, because Mr. J cries did something to me that he, naughty man. should not have done," eays Mr. Stovall. That the Philomath Telephone com pany is a mu-h abused corporation and that its ownor, I. H. Jones, has teen treated unjustly in complaints filed by dissatisfied patrons, is the Now. when I have a kick to make I prefer to make it myself. Mainly for the reason that I would lose half the fun of Vlfklnv if T AIA It y-o vim-vv ik. 1t (Special.)' ttate. sincerely and truthfully, that I have no fault to find with the aforesaid Mr. Jones. Honestly, truly, cross my heart 1 have no complaint to make against tilm! Now wouldn't that Jar the scales off a dogfish? Though Mr. Jones Is not related to me ubUtnce ot a. letter written hy. Sen- I by blood kin, busiaeea, gac or sans, I will say for him that he has more fight and courag-e, more stand-up-and-take. more vinegar and pep. In splta of his size, than any six of those who are arrayed against him. I'm inclined to think that nine tenths of the fuss being made over tele phones here in the City of Brotherly Love is due to the everlasting desire of some folks to kick against anything that la offered in the way of public service. The main trouble is that we nave been getting our 'phone service for nothing, and when the price was raised then a howl went Bp. I had certain changes ordered dona on my telephone line. The changes were made and the service is all to the good I would .rather pay the primary circuit rate and get real service than be on a ten-party, neighborhood butlnsky ramifica tion In which no service can be given. If the public service commission has undertaken to settle all the personal 'and class differences, arguments, Quarrels and disputes that have supplied our local folk with something to do for the past half century, it has some Job on Its hands. I honestly hove it can da this and act tha dove of peace on a permanent perch here In the Holy City. But I'm afraid you'll be obliged to back out and leave the task for Saint Peter to finish. Just the same. I wish you luck. I must break off, my telephone is ringing. STOCKMEN WILL CONVENE Harney County Preparing to Give Visitors Unique Welcome. BURNS, Or, April 1. (Special.)
