Final Decision Delayed to Friday
So That Compensation May

THE MORNING OREGONIAN, THURSDAY, APRIL" 13, 1923
E. C. Willard probably will be se
lected bv the city council to make
an Inventory of the properties of the
city water department so that the
city will have a correct valuation.
This practically was decided upon
yesterday by the city council after
Mr. Willard's appointment had been
recommended by Fred Randlett, chief
engineer of the water department.
Sir. Willard is a hydraulic engineer
with an excellent reputation, and
according to Mr. Randlett, is excep
tionally well qualified to handle this
particular work.
Final decision on the appointment
has been deferred until Friday after
noon, so that the council may de
cide just how Mr. Willard .is to be
compensated for his work. He has
offered to handle the work for $25
a day and expenses, which are to in
clude clerk hire and the like.
Definite Sum Preferred.
However, the council is eager to
have a definite sum named if pos
sible, or have the expenses specified
so that the council will have some
idea of how much the total cost of
the work will be.
The necessity for taking an Inven
tory of the water bureau property
was called to the attention of the
council by City Commissioner Mann.
The council then addressed a reso
lution to the public service commis
sion of Oregon requesting that body
to handle the work. ' It was felt at
that time that inasmuch as the pub
lic service commission had engineers
capable of handling the job, a big
saving could be gained through this
procedure.
However, after the late telephone
rate decision was handed down, the
council lost confidence in the pub
lic service commission and addressed
a letter withdrawing the request.
Council Han Conference.
This was followed by a conference
among members of the council, and
Mr.. Randlett was requested to make
a report recommending the appoint
ment of some qualified engineer.
Mr, Willard was employed by the
city to assist .Harry W. Tomlinson,
assistant city attorney, in preparing
the city's case in the telephone rate
decision. Although subjected to an
extremely grilling cross examination
by the attorneys for the telephone
company, Mr. Willard held his
ground.
It was estimated that the cost of
making the valuation of the water
works will run between $15,000 and
$20,000, stich cost to be paid out of
the water fund.
Hnte lnrrrane Poilblc.
Should the valuation, as well as the
general study of the water depart
ment's finances, prove to the coun
cil that a higher rate is justified,
it is practically certain that an in
crease in water rates will be author
ized. At the meeting yesterday the
council also considered the sugges
tion from the water department that
George H. Johnson, of New York, one
of the most prominent engineers of
the country, be engaged to make a
final check of the findings of Mr.
Willard. However, no decision wai
reached on this suggestion.

LIQUOR TALE IS DOUBTED
Elmer Johnson Is Fined $2 50 for
Transporting Moonshine.
It was an unusual tale that Elmer
Johnson told District Judge Deich,
and the judge refused to believe it
all, ending the matter with a .fine of
$250. Johnson was charged by Rob
ert Hamaker, highway patrolman, of
transporting 40 gallons of liquor in
his automobile on April S.
Johnson explained to the court that
he was driving toward Happy Valley
from Mount Scott that day, when he
saw two men acting in a suspicious
manner off the road and apparently
trying to cache something. When
he stopped his machine, they fled, he
says, and he discovered the liquor.
He removed it to another hiding place,
got a larger automobile and started
with it toward Astoria, presumably
to report the matter to the authori
ties, when the inquisitive highway
policeman stopped him.

One. Wheat Variety Adopted.
HAINES. Or., April 12. (Special.)
In a movement further to increase
the value of their product on the
market, a number of wheat growers
in territory adjacent to Haines will
concentrate upon one variety in their
seeding this spring. The growers
take the view that with only one va
riety more even grading will result
and with the new variety standard
ized large shipments may be made
to the markets without discounts on
account of mixed grain. Federation
is the variety recommended for both
fall and spring sowing in this sec
tion by the state agricultural college
and considerable quantities of this
wheat have been shipped in for seed
purposes this spring.

to be printed after his name on the
official ballot the following: "My

Judge Evans, in declaring himself,
said he did not feel like issuing any
self-made eulogy because his record
as a public official is already familiar
to the voters of Multnomah county.
He served in the Spanish-American
war. Later he entered the private
practice of law at Portland, was ap
pointed by W. C. Bristol as assistant
United States district attorney. Mr.
Evans was continued as first assist
ant by John McCourt. While serving
in this capacity he was elected to
the office of district attorney of
Multnomah county, to which position
he was twice re-elected. Upon the
promotion of Circuit Judge i John
McCourt to the supreme court bench,
Mr. Evans was appointed to succeed
Judge McCourt in department No. 6.
During his occupancy of the cir
cuit court bench he has tried many
important cases.
Judge Evans has a wife and three
children, two daughters, now seniors
in the university of Oregon, and
boy of 11 years. .Judge Evans is
prominent member of many fraternal
orders, but declined to state what they
are, saying that they are not in poll-
tics and he believes it Improper to
make political capital out of such
membership. He declared he was
seeking re-election solely upon his
record of service.
