smash, aimed to eliminate the Turks

plan of the allies to bring peace, ac
cording to general reports current here.

cause of the central powers. In the

If somebodv puts a nickel weighing
machine on the sidewalk and a man
stumbles over it and breaks his leg
the mayor cannot be held responsible,
j The point as to whether the chief of
police can be held ltable Is not so clear.
I These were the conclusions of Judge
Kavanaugh, voiced today in connection
with the suit of Charles V. Sanders
.".gainst Mayor H. R. Albee and Police
Chief John Clark for $5000.
Judge Kavanaugh sustained the de
murrer to the complaint so far as
Mayor Albee Is concerned and too
the matter of the police chiefs respon
sibility under advisement until briefs
can be submitted. The court said,
however, that his opinion at this time
is that neither can the chief of police
be, held liable as he thought no one but
the property owner is responsible.
"Yes." said Attorney John Ditchburn,
"but these weighing machines are all
over town and we cannot find out who
owns them."
'Are you suing us because you can
not find anybody else to sue?" asked
Deputy City Attorney Stanley Myers,
who was representing the city officials.
Myers argued that no one but the
property owner Is responsible. The
weighing machine in question was et
Second and Yamhill streets and on No
vember 12, 1915, Sanders fell over it
and broke the bones in his knee.
Suit was brought against the mayor
and chief of police, Ditchburn said, be
cause an ordinance had been passed
providing that these officials should be
responsible for keeping the city streets
' and sidewalks In repair and free from
ructions.
He sa.id he had been unable to find
out who owned the weighing machine
at the corner or any of the other places
in town. "I -have even considered
stealing one of; the machines to see who
would claim lti In order to find out the
owner," he said.

To insure dependable service and
give the city more adequate control it
is possible that plans will be worked
out for putting Jitneys on a franchise
basis.
Commissioner Daly has the Idea in
mind and has talked with several
leaders of the jitney movement on tho
subject.
The idea In the rough is to give
franchises to companies or associa
tions or other'unlts pledged to give a
fixed service. These units having
franchises would be held responsible
for the Individual Jitneys under their
control.
Franchises would probably be given
for certain fixed routes, the person
holding the franchise being responsible
for all the Jitneys on the route.
It is found almost impossible to con
trol the independent Jitney as it now
operates, even though licensed lndlvld-
