The woman claimed permanent injury resulted from an accident in the Silverton city Dark An runt ai. 1935, when, as she was sliding down a chute, her left thumb was caught in an angle Iron and torn completely off. In a memorandum opinion Judge Lewelling held that the weight of opinion seemed to tend to the theory that a nark such as that at Silverton was operated as a governmental function and not with the city in a proprietary cana- city. He pointed out that th x act question at issue had never oeen decided by th Oregon su preme court and that authorities in other Jurisdictions wer hnn- lessly divided. The court held there seemed no opportunity to correct the matter by amendment of the comnlaint. Therefore, since no fee was cnarged, since the park was for recreational purposes solely and People Visitintr it did nn for tholr own benefit, Judge Lewelling ruled tne case should be dis missed. 40 Bills Receive Martin Approval Governor Martin, announcing that he felt "bully" and that he expected to complete consid eration of legislative bills before him by Saturday nleht. siened 40 measures on Wednesday of wnicn 33 were senate bills and seven house bills.
