derstood to be criticized by Gov
ernor Meier' and hy T. 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.

t PLAN HIT
Raising Eating House fee
Criticized as Aimed
At Small Places
Boosting eating house licenses
from the present $1 to a $25 an
nual fee precipitated the main
outburst in an otherwise lightly
ruffled aldermanic session at the
city hall last night and finally
brought a negative vote but threat
of retaliatory measures from al
dermen favoring the plan.
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

the small man out of business.

Retorting, Alderman Frank
