to
So Rules Supreme Court;
Will Have no Effect on
Present Setup
Counties in Oregon are not re
quired to pay any share of the
state relief committee's (now tne
Oregon welfare commission's) ad
ministrative expenses, the supreme
court held in a decision Tuesday.
The court sustained Circuit Judges
Winter and Stapleton of Portland
In making its decision.
The decision , will not affect
costs In 1939 and subsequent
years because the last legislative
session provided that hereafter
the State welfare commission pay
11 administrative relief costs from
state funds.
The opinion was written by Jus
tice Henry L. Bean who ruled that
it would be s appropriate to re
quire counties to pay a part of the
governor's salary or expenses as
to require them to pay relief ex
penses. . Rehearing Denied
The court denied a petition of
Umatilla county for a rehearing on
ts suit in which it asked permis
sion to build a new courthouse out
of delinquent tax receipts.
Other decisions were:
First National bank of Port
land.- appellant, vs. Blanche M.
Wall. Appeal from Multnomah
county. Suit Involving adminis
tration of an estate. Opinion by
Justice Belt. Judge James W.
Crawford affirmed.

Mr. Lafkr yesterday stated that
prior to the death of Mr. Ross,
many of Zimmerman's supporters
had urged his appointment by
Governor Charles A. Sprague as
utilities commissioner of Oregon
Lafky aald this would bring about
a long overdue "housecleaning
and rejurenation" of that post.
Zimmerman is known to be
planning to make a statewide
fight for the creation of PUD dis
tricts in Oregon. He has frequent
ly criticized the utilities eommls-
sionership' actions as being in the
interest of private utilities. Zim
merman said at the PUD hearings
during the legislatire sessions that
the "utilities of our state -egulate
th commissioner. Instead of be
ing regulated by him." , -
