July 7 is prevented.
The execution of Dan Casey was
halted by reprieve, also to July 7,
because of appeal to the stale su

yet been set for argument.
History of Case
Rathie and Kirby originally
December 2, 1921. One legal
manourer followed another and a
stay wu procured to February 3,
1922. On February 2 still another
reprlere was granted to July .7.
The present case in court is not
the original appeal from the clr-

the public, Action to this end must be taken very 'soon if this

. ( Everybody, ia- Salem wants to see this grove kept for a
school' site, a park or a playground ; but nobody in Salem or

to tax burdens in order to buy this grove or anything else

, , The way suggested is to exchange some of the lots in the
Oaks addition recently taken over by the city. Owners of the
property will accept such an exchange as will all who hold
claims against it. .
It is held by the city's advisers that these lots should be cult court at Pendleton, but is a
sold and the proceeds used to recoup the bond sinking fund
for. money expended long ago in improvements to this property.
This fund has been short & long time, no doubt, before the city
foreclosed , on these lots, and the question now arises, is it
prudent to permit it to remain short a while longer until some
disposition can oe maae 01 me new iraci u ine exenange is i pnft7p 0F7en IN

Competent legal opinion is to the effect that there is nothing
to prevent the exchange of the lots as assets of the bond sinking
fund for the other -tract which would take the place of the lots
as assets of the same fund; if, in the judgment of the council,
such a .transaction seems advantageous to the city.
K That this j beautiful tract can be sold by the city if neces
sary with equator; greater advantage than the lots in Oaks
addition, is beyond question. That it can be. so sold equally
soon, should necessity demand it, is likewise evident. It s use
for a high school site finds immediate and enthusiastic approval
whxa all the advantages of location and the plans of the pro
ponents of this idea are set forth. It's advantages for a play
