Merrlam cited the court's at tention to the fact that section 88S8 of the Oregon laws of 1927, provides that the county iruit In spector shall " be . recommended and certified to be competent "by tha rommlulnnnr. ' - - The question before the court is wnetner, once appointed, an Inspector can be removed for failing to meet the requirements of the commissioner. A phrase from the law reads that "said county Inspector shall hold his on ica during- iue pleasure oi toe court"; and yesterday the court was leaning to the Tlew that Van Trump, appointed two years ago and agreed to by the fruit com missioner then In office, was sat isfactory and should hold office as long as the court desired to give him the Job. The matter, however, had been Carson for an opinion. -v. ' In the law of ISSIIt la also provided that the fruit Inspector shall report "monthly to the com mlssloner. Thla Van Trump has doae, sending a copy of the re port made to the county : court. The treasurer has not required 1 any okey from the fruit commis sioner to reimburse Van Trump for his services. It Merrlam can establish that hi approval of Van Trump's monthly report la necessary . to permit Van Trump to receive a county warrant, .the county court is willing to admit that Merrlam has blocked their move and Van Trump's scalp is bound to come off. "If Merriam's okey for Van's salary Is necessary, well have to let him go," said Commissioner "Jim" Smith yesterday. - Smith went on to say that Van Trump had repeatedly stated that rath er than cooperate In any way (Turn to page 10, col. 1) - COOS BAY TO BE SPANNED ; MARSHFIELD, Ore., Dec.
