20. TIIE MOKXIXG OREG'ONIAN, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 13, 1920 PORT WON'T BACK DOWN BONUSES Attorneys Say Million Bond Issue May Be Illegal. MONEY WILL BE RAISED Commission Orders Counsel to De vise Means to Obtain Funds De spite Adverse Opinion. The announced policy of the Port of Portland of granting bonuses to steamship operators who ' serve th's port was reiterated by the port com mission at a meeting yesterday aft ernoon in face of a telegram from an eastern law firm stating that the tl, 000, 000 bond issue, which was to have provided funds for these bo Buses,' is probably illegal. While the written opinion from the legal firm is being awaited, Gus C. Moser, attorney for the port commis sion, was instructed to devise some other means of raising the necessary money. Full Opinion Doe Soon, . The bond issue in question was re cently authorized by the voters under the head of water transportation bonds. The port commission propose 1 to sell a. 1100.000 block of these bonds and consulted Storey, Thorndyke, "Palmer & Dodge, Boston bond attor neys, for an approval of this issue. The telegraphic refusal of the law yers to approve the issue because they hold it to violate the 14th amend ment to the constitution of the United States was received last Saturday, and the full written opinion is ex pected In a few days. The bonuses to be granted to steam ship operators consist of guaranteeing the channel in the Columbia and Will amette rivers, and reducing the tow age aitd pilotage charges between Portland and the sea to those pre vailing at other Pacific ports which are closer to the ocean. Drydock Site in Doubt. At a joint meeting of the port and dock commissions, which followed yesterday's meeting of the port com mission, the question of the location of the new 15,000-ton drydock, which is being built for the dock commis sion, was referred to a committee consisting of the attorneys and en gineers of the two port administra tive bodies. A special joint session of the port and dock commissions is to be called upon the completion bf this ropert, which will also embody recommendations for the economical .operation or the two public drydocks. In response to questions from the city council the members of the two commissions pledged themselves to Ihe continuation of the work which the two bodies are now doing sep arately, in event of the passage at the November election of the initia tive measure, consolidating the port and dock commissions. The specific tasks inquired about by the city com missioners are the completion of mu nicipal terminal No. 4 and the main tenance of adequate width and depth of channel in the Willamette and Columbia rivers. GERMANS MAY GET SHIPS 10 Formerly Teuton-Owned Liners and Cargo Vessels Involved. WASHINGTON, Sept. 14. Great Britain has under consideration th sale of 40 former German liners and a number of cargo vessels to their former owners, according to advices received by the American government from London. The sale of the ships which were awarded the British by the repara tions commission practically has been decided upon, these advices say, but definite action has been held up until existing law can be modified so as to permit of the sale of the craft to the Germans. Some officials of the American gov ernment profess to see in this plan an attempt to hinder development of the American merchant marine, but Chairman Benson of the shipping board declared that immediate acqui sitlon of a considerable tonnage by the Germans would in no way meet the purpose of the agreement be tween the American ship and com merce corporation and the Hamburg- American line for the opening of for mer German trade routes to American shipping.

My appetite failed me and I got so I hardly ever Knew wnac n. was to feel hungry. My stomach hurt continually and at times had se vere cramping spells. "I went down considerably in weight and felt weak all day long. My liver was in bad shape and I felt sluggish all'the time. I have had an tacks of rheumatism off and on for several years and sometimes my whole body seemed wracked with pain. I couldn't half sleep and in the morning it was a job for me lo get out of bed and master enough strength to go to work. "Finally I decided to throw away everything else and try Tanlac and it was my lucky day when I did. Be fore I finished the second bottle I felt like a new man and now I am in better general health than I have been in many a" year.
