Final action toward selection of the water eommissioji of five mem bers to direct the destinies of Sa when it is acquired, probably will lem's municipal water system not be made at Monday's meeting of the city council, it was indicat ed Saturday. The forty local citizens suggest ed as possible appointees on the commission were somewhere near unanimous in declining the honor when members of the council's public utility committee interview ed them last week, it was report ed. Although It would be possible tor the council to find five men willing to assume the resposibility, prior to Monday night and elect them that night, aldermen are gen erally disposed to - make haste slowly In this matter in order that no mistakes likely to mar the suc cess of the municipal ownership program shall occur. Delay in Selection Of Engineers Seen On the matter of employing en gineers to appraise the Oregon- Washington Water company's property the council Is also in clined to be deliberate. It is prob able no final decision will be made Monday night.- Both these details must be at tended to within 30 days after the municipal ownership charter amendment goes into effect, but that may mean SO days from May IS, or 30 days from next Mon day night, when the vote is to be canvassed. In either case, the council will meet once more be fore the' date on which these de cisions must be made. Vacation of Street Also to Be Decided Another Important matter slat ed to come up Monday night is the decision on the Oregon Pulp and Paper company's petition for va cation of a portion of Trade street west ot Commercial. Ir respective of the merits of the company's plea, a number of alder men are reported to be unwilling to grant the request, at least until the paper company snows some progress In the elimination of the cinder nuisance. The Question of offering tor sale again the (50,000 block of bridge bonds remaining. Is also slated to come up Monday with a number of aldermen disposed to eliminate the' restriction that the bonds be sold only at par or bet ter, in order to proceed with con struction ol tne worm commercial street bridge.

For the first time in Oregon's history, the speaker of -the house ot representatives will become the acting governor on Wednesday of this week. The Individual achiev ing this distinction Is Ralph S. Hamilton of Bend, who will take over the duties of chief executive and continue to act In that capa city in the absence of Governor Norblad, who will be outside the state for a month. The Oregon laws provide that in ease of the death, disability or absence of the governor of the state, the president of the state senate shall act as governor. In ease neither the regularly" elected governor nor president of the state senate can serve, the duties revert to the speaker of the house of representatives. Norblad to Leave State This Week In the existing case Governor Patterson died last December, whereupon he was succeeded by A. W. Norblad of Astoria, presi dent of the state senate. As Nor blad is leaving the state the law makes It Incumbent upon the speaker of the house of represen tatives to serve as governor until he returns. Hamilton has telegraphed that he will arrive In Salem Tuesday, and will be ready to assume the executive duties when Governor Norblad crosses the Interstate bridge into Washington Wednes day' on his way to Montreal. Governor Norblad also will vis it in Chicago, New York, Wash- ngton and other eastern cities. While in Chicago he will give the graduating address in the law de partment of the University of Chi cago. Mrs. Norblad will accom pany her husband on the trip. Governor Norblad said his ab sence would not in any way in terrupt state business as Ham ilton, by virtue of being speaker of the house of representatives? is eonveTsanf wit the duties of the executive department.

In Hood River, however, he went this system one better and soled on his landlady while she se creted a sum of money, accord ing tothe charge; then took the money and left a note advising the woman to "pull downJhe blinds" before hiding money next time.
