Practice Apparently Supported by Law County Commissioner Melson said yesterday the matter would be investigated and that all he knows is that it has been the cus tom to make payments for such services to Marnach. Some courthouse attaches pointed out that Oregon code, 1930, section 20-2316 seems to give full authority for the work. The code says in part: "When any dog or dogs . . . shall be found running at large ... It shall be the. duty of every chief of police, constable, sheriff or dep uty or either to kill all dogs found running at large without having muzzle securely fastened . . . a fee of one dollar shall be paid out of the dog fund for each dog so killed." Marnach as a special deputy sheriff end so comes under this law, it is said. Marnach has saved the county thousands of dollars since he was hired for this work, other court house attaches say, in his investi gations of sheep-, claimed by the owners to have been killed by the dogs, and also in his collection of delinquent dog taxes. For the lat ter he is paid at rate fixed by the county court Church Makes Request Request of the Seventh Dry Ad vent church here for permission to-erect a temporary wooden tab ernacle at Cottage add Marion streets for use over an eight months' period was referred by the city council last night to the city planning and zoning commis sion, of which Hedda Swart is president TONIGHT AND WED.
