Morris Dunne, who as chairman of the accident commission -Ms-a mem ber of the bond commission, was one of $65,000 In refunding bonds of Oregon City, and this purchase was authorized at the time by Charles T. Early, for mer member of the commission and by Governor Meier. Meier's statement alleged that commitments for purchase of bonds were "a one-man proposi tion for the last few months" and that "purchases have been made that Mr. Dunne and I have found ourselves unable to approve." Meier further stated "I cannot countenance the use of the peo ple's money for any but first class stuff. As 'to the particular securities at issue at the time, I cannot but hope the matter will come out all right.". While the details of bond busi ness are in the hands of Deputy Treasurer Fred H. I Panlns, .Trea surer Holman was quick to as sume full personal responsibility: "I alone am entirely . responsible to the people for i-every- official act emanating- from -the stale treasurer's office since May 1, 1931. If there has been any de cision of the state treasurer which is open to : Just criticism the censure is due me. However let us examine the record and ascertain the facts. Meier's Record "Moronic,?

In committee of the whole the council rejected an amendment to the ordinance changing the li cense fees. The amendment would have left the present $1 -license on all establishments dealing ia foods not to be consumed on the premises, thus retaining the city's right of sanitary inspection, It was pointed out later. when the ordinance was put np for vote, Alderman Vandevort branded "the whole thing origin ating from the hotel men to put the small man out of business. a rank deal." Retorting, Alderman Frank Needham, sponsor of the measure, put in, "Here's $17,000 in fees of fered your if you don't want it, vote It down."
