The resolotion which the coun cil was asked to adopt also would authorise the water department to restore damaged parking improve ments as far as the commission deems practical and economical. The question of supplying water to subdivisions outside the city limits and of approving acceptance of Fairmount reservoir from Kern & Kibbe, contractors, aroused dis cussions that kept the commission in session until midnight. Argument Upon Ihsbc Is Lengthy - Commissioner E. B. Craben horst held out until the late hour against voting to accept a compro mise settlement of liquidated dam ages for. the contractor's running past the contract completion date. While $3400 Is due the city under strict "Interpretation of the con tract, the city would be unable to show damages in court to any ap preciable exent. Manager Van Pat ten reported in recommending that the contractor's agreement to Vy a 1000 penalty be accepted. Grabenhorst finally agreed to vote for the. acceptance and the semi-final payment, 95780.12, on condition they received the rec ommendation of the manager, the city attorney and the commis sion's consulting engineers. An additional $11,615.05 will be held back for 35 days to Insure pay ment of all claims against the pro ject. : Agreement was reached with Carle Abrams, promoter of the Sa lem highway tracts north of the city limits, to supply the subdiv ision with water service from the department's pipeline at Highway avenue with Abrams to install his own mains from that point. Need for a larger main to that point may require a $2800 expenditure, Van Patten said.

Ore., April The ability of "a man lfke John L. Lewis." C.I.O. labor chief, to enforce court orders which gov ernment officials cannot, was termed a threat to civilization by Governor Charles H. Martin to day. : j, "No unofficial person without responsibility to the people as a whole should have the authority to tell thousands of sit-down strik ers to move out of a man's plant when he decides they should." the governor said. "As for these sit-down strikers, if you deny the right of employer to his property under the so-called theory of human rights, you are ruining our civilization. We do not have the conditions here that they do ft the crowded industrial centers of the east. But I say that any pussyfooting poli tician who does not take a stand should not hold public office.

Stan field resulted In a controversy in volving the land board and stock men and grazing authorities who foresaw serious complications in enforcing the Taylor grazing act as a possible consequence. Defending the Stanfield lease, Holman said the accepted bid was more than twice as high as. was suggested by the federal depart ment of grazing and the organiz ed grazing , district. As a member of the land board, Holman said, he has endeavored to salvage latent values of remain ing school lands for the benefit of the school fund by consolidating the ' checker - board sections through exchanges .with the fed eral government. - Pending t&e blocking of the land, he proposed to the board that it no longer per mit its free use for private gain, but that the state insist upon rent for such lands as are used.
