$55,000 Outlay to be Made
in Lovely House for
South Salem
Construction of a residence on
Falrmount hill which, including
the ralae of the property and the
cost of landscaping, will - cost
sdmethinf like f 55,000, was made
certain Saturday when O. F. John
son, owner of the store building
on , State street occupied by Ka-
foorr's. entered into a contract
with Carl Bahlburg to erect this
attractlre home on the half block
which" Mr. Johnson owns on Fir
street between Lincoln and Le-
felle.
The residence, of consistent
Georgian-Colonial type, has been
designed by Clarence L. Smith,
local architect. , Its beauty will
be greatly enhanced by the land
scaping which will take adran-
tage of the already attractlre na
tural setting. The house wiU be
ot brick.
Rooms Spacious
Rooms in the new house will
be exceptionally spacious. In, the
UTfng rooms plaster and wood
paneling will predominate. Every
effect in the - interior har. been
planned with the idea of erecting
a fine home, the rooms being ar
ranged to afford attractive views
of the surrounding country as
viewed from Fairmount hill.
r While construction work wUl
begin lmmediately.lt Is expected
that the entire spring and a large;
part of the summer time will .be
needed for the completion of the1
work. The new home will be oc
cupied by the Johnsons about
September 1.
FOR TIFF Will
The ancient industry of brick
manufacturing Is more interested
in national legislation at this time
than It ever before has been la
its history.
Brick Iff trying to have Itself re
moved from the free list, and se
cure a duty on foreign brick which
will equalise the wide difference
in the cost of manufacture ia Eu
ropean countries as compared to
the cost In this country. Unless
relief Is secured from congress,
the thousands of employees of
hrick plants in this country wiU
be reduced to something like the
standard of living prevaUlng in
the competing European coun
tries." The best Information obtain
able is that In Belgium the range
of wages paid In brick yards is
from 85 cents to SI. 2 6 per day.
In American plants the average is
about $5 per day.
It was proven before the ways
and .means committee at a hearing
on free list recently that building
brick made in Belgium and
brought to this country by Bel
gium subsidized ships could be
laid down in New York several
dollars below the actual cost of
manufacturing brick on the Hud
son river.

LOS ANGELES, March 16.
(AP) Indictment by a federal
ryand jury of Dr. I. C. Citron on
charges ef wrongfully supplying

cotics was described by govern
ment officials as the "first major
blow" against the narcotic traffic

The Indictment lists 20 narcotic
prescriptions dating from Septem
ber, 1928, as having been issued
by Dr. Citron, and intended for
Miss Rubens, although they bore
other names.-including that of the

ics' were not necessary for the
health or well being of Miss Ru
bens. The- actress recently was

did not pass resolutions against

childish, archaic and sometimes
vicious, but agreed that encour
agement given to its gradual elim
ination probably will result In
compute suppression as the na
tional Inter-fraternity council Is
also against it.
Election of officers tomorrow
will end the two-day conference.

would accompUsh little or nothing
to eliminate the undesirable prac

have eulminaied in a lage volume

Particular attention Is called to

PORTLAND, Ore., Mar. U.
(AP) Pledging to devote the re
mainder of his life to paying f 250,
000 to depositors of the defunct
bank of Kenton of which he was
president, J. V. Burke, under sen--
tence to eeven years in the state
prison for misapplication of bank
funds, Friday filed petition for pa
role. The filing of the petition and
accompanying personal pledge to
make restitution followed closely
on receipt of official word that
the United States supreme court
had refused to hear the appeal,
holding that no federal question
was Involved.
Burke was convicted In circuit
court here a year ago. Besides the
prison sentence he was fined $2.
500. The total deficit to depositors
in the close bank amounts to
about $250,000.
Parole by the court and execu
tive clemency are the only remain,
ing possible ajenues of escape
from the enforcement of the sen
tence. It was expected that the
mandeie of the court would bs for.

the stabilization of prices which

sumers; to guarantee that the con

through Joint purchasing that the
code would give to commercial or
ganizations; The A. A. A., In its letter to
Commissioner McCullough, e x
presses keen Interest in any pro
gram to stabilize the great Amer
ican oil Industry but points out
that the following Issues should
be considered In the code:
"1. What wiU the proposed code
do to prevent the great variety of
prices which prevail in almost ev
ery territory? ?
"2. What will the proposed code
do about posting an exact state
ment as to the quality of gas sold
at each station, as well as the
price?
"3. What will the proposed code
say about the possible restriction
in the number of gasoline stations
that are established at present in
such numbers in many commun
ities as are scarcely warranted by
the business offered, the excess
number of which undoubtedly
adds to the cost of doing business?
"4. We note that the proposed
code would prohibit the public
the opportunity of purchasing gas
oline upon a cooperative' basis at
a net saving. Those to be favored,
according to the code, are those
strong commercial organizations
which can establish charge ac
counts through written contracts.
