Matters Concerning Budget Will be Before Council At Monday Session Although Alderman Olson has threatened to. Introduce an ordin ance for repeal of the civil service amendment of the charter, it will not be presented at the council meeting Monday night. Olson is said to be of the same mood but tbe time was too short to get the repeal ordinance in shape. It would have to go before the people as a measure to be voted on In November. Agitation over the civil service act as applied to firemen contin ued the chief topic of local poli tics during the past week. The ef fort of some firemen who were laid off to displace O. A. Olson who was reinstated led to a fiery session before the civil service board and ended with the men threatening to take their case Into court. As a result of the stir some are said to be ready to rush in and kill the new tenure act. The police who were lining up to support extension of civil serv ice to their department are said to be standing off to await devel opments.

G. Lewelling of the Marion -county circuit court indicated that he would be willing to take a 10 per cent cut in his salary if oth er judges over the state follow the lead of Multnomah county circuit judges. Nine Multnomah judges Thurs day announced they would take a 10 per cent cut for four months in the interests of balancing the tate budget. "I want to do what the other circuit judges do, but I presume at the present time there is a frame of mind for the cut," Judge Lewelling said, adding "I person ally feel that that is the thing to do." The judge, who presides over department two of the Marion and Linn county circuit courts, pointed out that his appointment holds only until the first of the year, and that for that reason he would not wish to make, any statement that would seem to embarras other circuit judges. Judge L. H. McMahan, who presides over department one of the court here and ln Ltnn coun ty, has been out of town and on his vacation since before the Multnomah group announced a voluntary wage slash, so he could not be reached for a statement.
