, Iresslon of vice in his district. This
evidence he will afterward uaa in de-

la trial before the coramlaalon. .
Captain Mooney says he is giving
little concern to the charges which
. have been preferred against him, and
that he will be prepared to refute every
accuaatlon made, and If the communion

Mooney was not (prepared to aay last

President Leahy aays that th Investi
gation is a good thing. Mooney will
make the charge before th grand Jury

Attornejra X of U BlalflUH
On th Invitation of George B. Frank
and other representative . cltisens of
Vernon - a number of councilmen and
city officials went in a body this morn
lng to Vernon to Investigate the- cir
cumstances regarding tha recent protest
entered by that community against the
assessments levied for the proposed x
tension of the Irvlngton sewer. '
Residents and property holders In
Vernon decUr that they will derive
no benefit whatever from this extension.
They also contend that the. contour and
slope of th ground favors a separate
sewer which would drain the dlatrict
north 'Into the Columbia river instead
of Into the Willamette river.'
The majority of th people who live
In the dlatrict are small property
holders who are struggling to build
home but of their' savings, and the
moat .of these homes are being psld for
on th installment plan. The asaeaa
ment for thla sewer Is 122.40 for an
average alxed lot, which they contend
to be quite a burden added t their
already heavily laden shoulders., These
property holders do not want any kind
of aewer at present. They wish to be
allowed to got squarely on . their, feet
and then within a few years build a
sewer to the Columbia.
The district bos grown marveloualy
within the laat two yeara, faster than
any other portion or -the city, it "will
probably some day . Include a large
population which will - need the. beat
sewerage facilities and it is a fact that
from 100 feet north of Going street the
land does slop to the north and east
from Knst Seventeenth. Th soil below
the surface a few feet is gravel snd
cess pools are very successfully con
structed. An abundance of Bull Run
water will soon be provided.
- Officials Bo Hot Agree.
The following councilmen accom
panied City Engineer Taylor and Chief
Draftsman Reuter on the tour of Vernon
this morning: , D. J. Kellsher, Frank 8.
Bennett, R. E. Menefee, A, N. Wills, J.
P. Sharkey and .George D. Dunning.
Little expression was made among the
officials regarding the condition. Mr.'
Reuter thought that a great amount of l
Vernon could be drained by th Irvlng
ton extension. , Kellaher aald that It
i plain that th ground could be
drained no other way except toward th
Columbia and realised that the dlatrict
would grow In a few years so that th
Columbia eewer would b demanded.
A special meeting will be held Mon
day at 1 o'clock to which the property
holders were' tnvltnd to- ettend -ana- pre
sent their side. Something" deflnit will
thsn be decided upon. In regard to th
proposed extension.. v ;. 1 1

The tssuancs of $l,0of,000 in bonds
for th purpose of purchasing parks for

South Portland club does not taks kind

no sites for th parks have been select

had th sites been picked out first so
that thsy would have known whst the
money was to be spent for ther would
have been no objection to th bond Is
