SEEK FINAL DECISION CITY OFFICIALS WILL APPEAL GAMBLING CASE. They Desire Supreme Court to Define Their Duties and How to En force the Laws. Mayor Williams, Chief of Police Hunt, Municipal Judge Hogue and the-members of the Executive Board Trill appeal at once to the Supreme Court from the decision rendered by Judges Cleland, Frazer and George, directing them to enforce the laws for the suppression of gambling or show cause why they do not do so. The petitioners who demanded that a writ of mandamus issue to compel the city officers referred to to enforce the gambling statute within the direct mean ing of the law were Robert Llvingtone and others, members of the Municipal League. The Judges of the State Circuit Court ordered an alternative writ of man damus to Issue, which would have been followed by a" peremptory writ unless a sufficient defense was Interposed which would convince the court that the city officials were not willfully neglecting to enforce the laws, and instead carrying on an Illegal license system under the guise of monthly fines. The defendants, instead of filing an answer containing a defenso chose to de mur to the alternative writ on technical grounds, and yesterday by consent the demurrer was overruled. City Attorney I A. McNary states that the object of the appeal is to obtain an opinion from the Supreme Court con cerning the duties or the city officials un der the city charter and other statutes and how they must be enforced. NEW ROAD TO THE COLUMBIA Falrvlew People Want It to Connect With Ferry to Washougal. Residents at Falrvlew and vicinity de sire the construction of a county road from Falrvlew to a point on the Colum bla River opposite "Washougal and, if the road Is built, the Intention is to operate a ferry-boat between the Oregon shore and Washougal. The matter was pre sented to the County Court two years ago, and no action was taken. Recently a pe tition asking for the construction of the road numerously signed was presented by ex-County Commissioner H. S. Stone The road would cost about $10,000, and a large part of the expense would be In the building of a long trestle bridge. The members of the County Board, while ad' mlttlng that such a road would be desir able, do not think they can afford to ex pond the money which It would cost at the present time. It is stated that the City & Suburban Railway Company's lines or some other of the street-car lines -will be extended In that direction whenever the road Is constructed. IN MEMORY OF E. W.
