Newberg Fire
District Vote
Ruled Legal
There is no necessity to have
another election on the question
of organization of the Newberg
Rural Fire Protection District 2
because of failure to elect a board
of directors. Attorney General
Robert Y. Thornton held Thurs
day. The district was organized at
an election Sept 16, 1953.
"They are separate issues and
the former is not dependent on
the latter." Thornton wrote.
Thornton said the directors could
be chosen at a separate election
which would be lawful.
The opinion was requested by
Newberg.

State Factory
Inspection
Law Upheld
(Story also on Page 1.)
Oregon's factory inspection law
was upheld by the State Supreme
Court Thursday.
M it M Woodworking Co. had
contended that the law's provis
ions about payment of inspection
fees violated the Constitution,
but the suit was decided in Mar
ion Caunty Circuit Court against
the firm and in favor of the State
Industrial Accident Commission.
The late Judge Rex Kimmell
had made the circuit court de
cision. The Supreme Court opin
ion upholding hira was written
by Justice James T. Brand.
In another decision by the Su
preme Court Thursday, an opin
ion written by Justice Harold
Warner affirmed a Benton Coun
ty Circuit Court decree denying
a claim of Mrs. Kate T. Pratt for
benefits from the State Industrial
Accident Commission, "based on
the death of her husband.
Mrs. Pratt's claim had been re
jected by the commission because
of insufficient evidence that her
husband died from injuries received-in
the course of his em
ployment. In another opinion the Su
preme Court affirmed the Jack
son County Circuit Court in a
decision holding that a lumber
company is liable to a warehouse
company for the amount of
money paid by the warehouse
company to the holder of a ware
house receipt for shortage of logs
covered by such receipts.

3 Polk Residents Ask School
District Consolidation Blocked
Three residents of a Polk County school district which recently
voted to consolidate with the Salem school system filed a complaint
with Marion County Circuit Court Thursday asking the court to pre
vent the consolidation. . ,
The complainants are Roy Carr. Ben McKinney and George Ham
mond. They live in the Spring Valley district north of West Salem.
Before consolidating with the Sa
lem schools last May. the area was
Polk County School District 35.
The three men charge that the
petitions which led to the school
election were improperly prepared
and that the district was not giv
en sufficient notification that the
election was to be held.
Defendants Named
The complaint names as defen
dants Agnes C. Booth, Marion
County school superintendent, and
Rex Hartley, Roy J. Rice and
Edmund Rogers of the Marion
County Court.
The officials are charged with
acting improperly when they ac
cepted the consolidation , petitions
as being legal They are also ac
cused of giving too htUe notice be
fore the election.
Petitions MuMlated

tilated by having names cut out
and pasted onto other petitions,
the complaint claims, and "at
least two" unqualified people vot
ed in the election.
The Spring Valley district has
not operated a school for about
two years. Students have been
sent to Zena and Lincoln grade
schools and West Salem Junior
High School under a special tui
tion agreement with the Salem
system.

After some of the youths had
