to report all cases of more than
$500 In which it has found tax
payers have been overcharged.
The refunds have been de

FIE USE OF LAND
FOR DOCK IS ASKED
City Father Hear Value of
River Transport; Matter
Up to Council .
A . recommendation probably
will be made at the next city
council meeting, February 5, as
to whether or not the Salem Na
vigation company should be per
mittsd to continue use of the city
property on which its dock stands
without payment of rent. This
statement was maue by members
of the council utilities commit
tee last night at the city ha I af
ter they had listened to the boat
company's plea of inability to pay
rent and to businessmen's claims
regarding value of river freight
service here.
Alderman H. H. Vandevort,
who recent'y demanded to know
why the boarc8mpifny"wus aHow j
ed not to pay the city rent, de
clared that "well suggest a rent
figure to the council if I have
anything to say about It"
Truck Competition Cald
To Force Low Rates
A. S. Johnson, manager of the
navigation company, which now
gives river freight service three
days each way weekly between
Salem and Portland, as well as
trucking service, told the com
mitteemen the company because
of truck competition was forced
to cut its rates so low that it
was barely breaking even. In re
sponse to committee queries he
asserted the company could not
raise its rates enough to pay the
rent and still retain the heavy
volume of business necessary in
operating steamers.

Gerlinger said tonight following
the federal court ruling here today
upholding the NRA lumber code

He estimated about 185 would

Reorganization will be complet
ed this week and operation con
tinued on a one-shift basis, he
said. No penalty will be Imposed
on the mill for the extra produc
tion allotment under the tempor
ary restraining order of last No
vember. The court today vacated
its temporary order denying the
code authority the right to inter
fere with the mill's operation.
Gerlinger Regrets So Many
Men Will Be Laid Off
Gerlinger said the mill was 'In
sympathy with the spirit of the
court's decision, and with the code
authority in making the original
order. Our greatest regret is that
so many people will be thrown out
of work. We think the court did
what it believed best."
A conference with the west
coast lumber authority officials
will be held before decision is
made concerning a supreme court
appeal, Gerlinger said. At the
present time some of the code of
ficials are in Washington, D. C.
In event of a supreme court ap

"We are hoping tor some com

of a number who must be tempor

basis for such hope, except the ar
