Amendment Not Likely
For the past several week there
ha been an understanding that the
charter amendment committee ap
pointed by the city council would
recommend an amendment providing

money in one fund. This proposed
amendment ha aroused much curios
ity, but it is now understood that
such an amendment will not be pro
posed. The plan has been dropped,
it i said. Apparently it was not un
derstood, and in the minds of some
was looked upon with suspicion. It
is said that the matter was first
broached inasmuch as such a plan
would tend, to simplify the city
bookkeeping. - - t

matter is causing much comment, and

Some lay the whole trouble to the
nice weather, and especially to the
long season of dry weather. "Just
wai.t until the rains come," say the
old timers, "and then every one will
chirk up." So pleasant has been the
weather for weeks past that it seems
somewhat harsh to blame it for the
epidemic of colds, and that people
have enjoyed it very much goes with
out saying. Because of the late
spring there seems to be a general
impression that the fine weather will
continue far into the winter season.
Verdict For Plaintiff
In the circuit court yesterday the
case of Lester Nelson vs. C. C.
Clarke was tried before a jury, with
the result that a verdict was brought
in last evening for the plaintiff. Nel
son is a barkeeper and had been em
ployed in Clarke's saloon at Seaside.
He sued for wages, and it was admit
ted that $60 -was due him, but he
claimed $120, and in a previous trial
in justice court before a jury this full
sum was awarded to him. The jury
yesterday, however, saw the matter
in a different light and gave a verdict
for $67.50. The costs and disburse
ments were also assessed against the
defendant. In charging the jury yes
terday afternoon Judge McBride
gave about as terse a charge as would
be possible in any case. It was some
thing to this effect: "If you believe
the testimony of the plaintiff, gen
tlemen, you will return a verdict for
him, and if you believe the testimony
of the defendant, you will return a
verdict for him," Attorney Howard
M. Brownell was for the plaintiff and
Attorney Frank-" Spittle for the de
fense. .

PUPILS MUST PAY
SCHOOL TUITION
No Arrangement Hade Whereby County Funds Hay
Be Utilized for This Purpose.
Some little vexation and trouble
has "arisen over the question of the
tuition to be paid by pupils from out
side of the city school district who
'are, attending the Astoria High
School. ' ' '
Last year, under the initiative and
referendum, a vote was takeri by the
elector? of the county whereby au
thority was- granted ' to the county
court to construct a high school for
the use of pupils of the county dis
tricts and in particular, the farther
authority was granted to the county
court to make arrangement with the
directors of the Astoria High School
for the payment of "tuition" out of
the county's general fund, in case no
such High School building was
erected.
Of course the real intent of the
measure wa9 to permit the county
court to make an arrangement with
the directors of the Astoria schools,
whereby outside or . county pupils
would he admitted under a tuition
that would be paid out of the coun
ty's funds. Heretofore, of course, each
pupil has hadtto pay his or her own
tuition. Last year the tuition: for
High School pupils from outside of
the district was $20 each. The tuition
for this year has not yet been stip
ulated by the school zoard.
Inasmuch as it was very generally
known ' that this initiative measure
:bec'ame a law, there seems to have
been a general understanding
throughout the county that for the
future, including this year, all such
tuition would be paid by the county
court. Yet as a matter of fact the
county court has failed or inadvert
antly neglected to make any arrange
ment with the Astoria school board,
and thus none of the pupils from the
county may take advantage of the
measure adopted last spring. In
other words, the law is not in opera
tion and may never be put in opera
tion; or, on the other band, the coun
ty coprt may later decide to make
some such an arrangement with the
Astoria school board.
Therefore pupils from the county
districts who are now attending the
local high school must pay tuition,
out of their own pockets.
The measure is not so much a law
that arranges for a new plan of pay
ing county tuition, as it is a law that
permits the county court to make
some arrangement. Perhaps it may
even be doubted that the action is ac
tually; mandatory on the county
court.
Why the county court has not tak
en any action is not known, though
it is understood that the question has
simply been overlooked.
If the county wishes to act,, the
first thing to be done is to make some
suitable arrangement with the school
board, wheieby by mutual agreement
the amount, of the tuition would be
agreed upon. Then the court would
have to arrange for the proper levy
iiv the taxes to pay for the tuitions.
Some have understood the law in
a ludicrous manner. The county
court has been asked by some people
in the county if the railroad fares of
their children are now to be paid.
Some others have even asked if the
board and lodging is not to be now
paid by the county in every case
where a county pupil comes to town.
It is understood the Astoria school
board is willing to make any suitable
arrangement in the premises, but of
course the whole question of acting
upon the law is "up to" the county
court.
