ground purposes by the county com
miBsionerfl. at the next meeting:. A
nominal sum will be charged for use
of the land. The matter was brought
up at yesterday's session.
The commissioners have voted to
give all county employes who wish

weeks pay and time off to attend the
national guard encampment, in lieu
of vacations.

out of danger, according to report of
physicians yesterday.
He is still weaK and it will be come
time before he will be able to go to
his office again, but his recovery is
considered merely a question of time.
Mr. Fenton suffered an attack of
pneumonia following an operation for
appendicitis. For a time his con
dition was considered critical.
CONSTABLE PETERSON OUT

ends January 1. Ed Gloss, another
deputy in the same office, received

POSITION ALREADY KNOWN
Agreement May Be Made to Accept
Improvement Bonds 'at Par
and Accrued Interest.
Contractors building sewers and
streets for the city of Portland will
be called before the city council this
afternoon and told that the city will
be unable to cash warrants issued to
them upon the completion of their
con tracts.
The formal announcement will be
made In order that they can file writ
ten statements on their plans, al
though all the contractors not only
are aware of the situation, but in the
majority of instances have arranged
for financing: their work.
City Plant Likely to Suffer.
Despite assurance from City Com
missioner Barbur yesterday that the
city paving- plant would be able to
continue without difficulty, it is cer
tain that because of the inability of
the city to market its bonds, the plant
will suffer seriously.
Commissioner Barbur proposed to
utilize money from the improvement
bond sinking fund for investment in
new improvement bonds as the means
of financing: the paving- plant. Such a
plan is said to be clearly legal, but
would require action by the city coun
cil. Commissioner Barbur admits that
there is little hope for a market for
city bonds until after January 1, 1921.
Inasmuch as money in the improve
ment bond sinking fund is for the re
tirement of bonds when they mature,
Jrt Is the actice of the city council
to invest such funds in easily nego
tiable securities.
Device Considered Dangerous.
As no one is in a position to state
when the bond market will readjust
Itself so that city bonds can be read
ily sold, it is considered by some city
officials a dangerous practice to in
vest such funds in bonds which can
not be sold on the market at the pres
ent time. The elty paving plant has
contracts amounting to approximately
$500,000.
City Commissioner Bigelow and
City Attorney LaRoche yesterday for
mulated an opinion which, if adopted
by the city council, will permit pri
vate contractors to exchange contract
wurrants for improvement bonds, if
such contractors will bid at par and
accrued interest.
Such an exchange would allow the
city to cancel the warrant without
necessity of raising cash and would
also enable the city to dispose of its
improvement bonds in conformity
with the provisions of the city charter.

Gun Away From Irate Spouse
-'". Also Is Charged.
Hut a few months of married life
were sufficient to convince Morris
BUckmaa that he had made a serious
mistake, according to statements in
his divorce suit filed yesterday against
hva Blackman, whom he wed on Feb
ruary 21'. He says that his spouse in
formed him she had married him out
of jealousy and that she "could get
a man lor a husband instead of a
lo."

Blackman to brush his coat she re
sponded that she "was not a servant."
One night toward the end of April
she cot up and threatened to leave
home about 12 o'clock. She finally
did so away for good. Blackmail says,
after he took a loaded sun from her
and made her anjrry.
