CITY FISH
PUBLIC NECESSITY
IS ANSWER TO SUIT
Vital Need of Inexpensive Sub
stitute for. Meats as Aid to
Government Pointed Out.
DEALERS IN COMBINE, CLAIM
.
Every Angle of Question Covered
to Meet Ruling of Court in
. Pending Ouster Action.
The right of the city of Portlajid to
operate a municipal fish market to
meet the economic needs of the people
and coinbat the "combination of high
prices for seafoods demanded by private
fish dealers" Is claimed In the city's
.answer to the suit now pending In the
circuit court to oust the municipal
market.
Deputy City Attorney Tomltnaon,
who filed the answer today, believes
he has covered every angle of the case
which recently resulted In the overrul
ing- of the city's demurrer by Circuit
Judge Kavanaugh. The court ruled
that the city must show a public neces
sity for the maintenance of, the market.
The answer sets forth:
That fish dealers are In a mmhln in
keep up prices; that they have thrown
away great quantities of fish of not
generally known food value, simply to
Mister up prices for other grades of
flsht that there are large quantities
of food fish available In the Pacific
ocean, which can be distributed to con
sumers at a very reasonable cost
through the medium of the municipal
.market; that reductions In food prices
tend to prevent strikes over living con
ditions; that the city market has In
creased the consumption of fish, there-
' by aiding the government's meat con
servation policy.

City Council Tentatively-Agrees
.to Remove Obstacles to
Operation.
Shackles were removed from the jit
neys by the city council in special ses
sion today when it was tentatively
agreed to repeal the- franchise pro
vision including the clause requiring
buses to operate only on specified
routes.
The amended ordinance will come for
hearing at the regular meeting of
the council next Wednesday."" The emer
gency clause will be attached to the
ordinance, making the measure effec
tive immediately on its passage.
In anticipation of the clearing away
of one of the main obstacles now exist
ing against the jitneys. L. H. Kapture
of 8 Prescott street will Saturday morn- !
ing be granted a temporary permit to
operate auto buses on the Linnton run.
The permit was drawn by Deputy City
Attorney Latourette today.
Commissioner Kellaher introduced the
amendment.
With the franchise restriction an-1
the specified route provision removed
the jitneys will be able to operate
any. place in the city providing they
render a transportation service.
The operators will still be required
to furnish bonds in the sum of $1000
for each car. or 310,000 f6r 10 or more

measure 'adopted by the" people - May

Commissioner Kellaher, - of giving the
people the 'return of the jitneys. Each
operator will be required to take out
a license which amounts to, 88 a-quarter.
Buses must undergo city inspec
tion. Psssage of the amendment will speed
up the plans of the United. Motor Bus
company, which is now endeavoring to
gain enough members to qualify with

Many organs take pan In assimila

in eliminating those portions of ' the
food which are not taken into the blood,
for the upbuilding of the body. Of
the eltmlnative organs, the liver and the
kidneys are of major Importance and
are most likely to be overworked and
become diseased. When such Is the
case, various troubles of a digestive and
