Circuit Judge Tucker in which they are
seeking to have declared Invalid prop

on. improvements In the old Hillside
boulevard distrlbt, started In 1914, by
the former town of Llnnton and taken
over by the city of Portland at the time
of the merger, In 1915.
The property owners allege they were
deceived Into having the Hillside boule
vard started under promises by the
Portland park board that the work would
later be taken over by the city and the
boulevard would be paved as a part of
Portland's park and boulevard system
Testimony of witnesses before Judge
Tucker showed that the property own

provement. The work was originally es
timated at 174,900, but the town coun
cil of Llnnton awarded the contract to
the Ryan Coeetrjactloir "company for

land, the council of this city increased
the assessment to. $134,000, and the prop

the grotihds that the amount was ex
cessive and because they were not bene

which was not paved.
Six other suits- are to follow the one
now being heard. They represent prac

Hillside boulevard.- The ase has been

and the levying of assessments by the
city was held up In March, 1916 when
Circuit Judge Morrow signed a tempor

owners.
The property owners claim that the
Hillside boulevard as it now stands is
worthless and practically Impassable.
They not only object to paying the $134,
000 as assessed by the city, but further
object to paying any assessment at all.
If the court should hold that they are
liable for what- work has already
been completed, they ask that this-be
limited to $74,900, which was the amount
which they agreed to pay when they

to Amount Due. -Argument
on demurrer in the case
of Lee Rusk against the Warren Con

ing Judge Tucker,. Thursday afternoon.
Rusk is suing the paving company ior
$703.01 for a difference in wages he
claims to be owing him over and above
the amount agreed to by the company,
and for wages for alleged overtime
which the company will not allow.
Ruak alleges he was deceived as to
the scale of wages agreed upon between
his employers and the local union of
Hoisting and Portable Engineers. ie
says It was falsely represented tft him
that the wage scale agreed upon was
60 cents per hour, whereas, as he a
leees. It was 624 cents and $1.S5 per
hour for overtime. Believing these false
representations, he says, he was Induced
to accept the wage of 50 cents and later
accepted a check for his pay on that
basis, not being Informed as to his Just
rights In the matter.
The company sets, up the check as a
defense, claiming it was a full and com
plete settlement with Rusk.

able translations. All translations are
double checked, and Frachtenberg Is not
Involved.

Liberty ' bonds and he has been active
to securing subscriptions from others
Leo J. Frachtenberg figured in a con
troversy in Portland a few months ago
with the Deutsche Zcitung, which has
since been suppressed by the govern
ment. Frachtenberg brought the wrath
of the paper upon his head when he
wrote a letter to The Journal, denying
that the Germans in America were be
hind the kaiser and asserting that the
majority of them were patriotic.

of the Portland Milk Producers' asso

"There wlll be an increase In the

Spending $50, 000
a Year for Quality
The General Manager of The Owl Drug Co. recently asked -tli head of the
Manufacturing division how much money he could save annually by lowering
his qua ity standard without an apparent change of value to the customer.
He reported that at least $50,000 could.be saved each year if he were allowed
to buy second grade instead of first grade materials and eliminate some purifying
processes by which he makes sure of quality before the finished product is sent out.
The query was not made with the idea of changing our quality standard not
at all. We wanted YOU to know to what extent we go in order to give you
quality yes, super - quality in everything that bears The Owl Drug Co. label!
