Heated Discussions by Speapers, for and Against Proposition; Committees aMke Favorable Reports. At a meeting held In the Cham ber of Commerce rooms Tuesday evening to discuss the advlslbilii) of purchasing a boat for the To ledo port, those present went on record by a large majority to not purchase the boat that is now be ing considered by the port com missioners and in a resolution de manded that no action be taken by that body. The resolution also threatened injunction proceedings. (Following the passage of the reso lution some discus-ion was had as to whether any boat should be purchased by the Toledo port which resulted in, a motion being snade and carried that ''The Port of 'Toledo shall not buy any boat ' without first submitting the prop ' Qeition to the -taxpayers of the port district." Many Speak on Subject. IMany speakers wre heard during the evening for and against the pur chase ot the boat.' Among those who spoke for the proposition we:e J. W. Parrlsh, president of the port commts sicn; Attorney W. U. Waterbury, G'.iy Roberts and B. F. Jones; while among the speakers against were Peter Fre derick, Lieut W. K. Patterson, Hanj Olson and A. T. Peterson. At times the discussion became heated as the speakers attempted to show why To ledo should or should not purchase a boat to haul oargos to and from tli9 port. Jonet Delivers Oration. The most dramatic talk of the even ing was made by Mr. Jones of New port who, ta making his appeal to the meeting to go on record for the put cnase of the boat, stated -that while he was not now a taxpayer of the local port, nevertheless, he believed that It would be a great asset to this section to have a boat operating. He stated that the people of this section had ex pended great sums of monoy on mak ing the port navigable by dredging and building jetties and that now they were getting no returns for the money expended. Ho aaid that if Toledo had a boat operating It would be an easy proposition to get the government to appropriate money for further devel opment of the channel. He classod I me loieao port as second io none in Oregon with the exception of the Wil lamette." Those opposing the purchase of a boat at this time are of the be'.lef that recognlzation can be had from the government without necessitating the expenditure ot $50,000, the purchase price of the boat in question. Commltte Report. Following the opening of the meet ing President McCluskey, called upon several outstanding committees for re. ports including the cleanup committee and the committee appointed to pro vide entertainment and rooms for the visiting teachers of the coun'y who at tended the institute here last week. The committees were complimented for their work and discharged. The meeting also went on record as favoring the publication of the min utes of the City council and port com missioners meetings for the benefit of the taxpayers. The vote adopting the resolution for bidding the port commission to pur chase tlie boat, according to the sec retary's report, was as follows, 63 tor, 7 against. On the motion that the port commis sion not buy any boat without first submitting same to a vote of the tax payers, the secretary's report gives the number being present as 65, many having left the moating after the adoption ot the resolution.
