Page ElgEl THE BUG EKE REGIS TEB0 0 ABL BARRICADE EFFECT A protest against the "barrl- cad effect" on Franklin boule rard at the entrance of Eaat Broadway was voiced Saturday by property owners along Eighth avenue. The protest waa said to be the first step In a move to change the narrow bottle-neck on Franklin boulevard caused by the fill leading across the rail road tracks. According to the signers of the protest, this fill so obstructs the continuation of the boulevard as to act a i a virtual "gate across the boulevard at this point." They declare the boulevard la so nar row that cars are In danger In passing at night and pedestrians would be unsafe at that point. Eighth avenue property owners, claiming that the action of thus throwing the main flow of traffic along East Broadway and pre venting much going along the boulevard to Enghth avenue Is unfair to them, intend getting up a petition demanding that the nar row bottlo-neck of the highway be widened to give full width to the boulevard at the Intersection of East Broadway, according to J. E. Kllborn, spokesman for the property owners. Following Is their letter of protest: . "The undersigned property own ers are herewith voicing a protest against the arbitrary and high banded manner In which officials of the City of Eugene and the En gineers of the State Highway Commission executed the recent provision financed by the Fed eral Government for the widen ing of Ninth Avenue at Its Inter aectlon with Franklin Boulevard. "Get the picture as It was. Franklin Boulevard Is and waa a main artery from the South, with natural lakeoffs at Thirteenth. Eleventh, Ninth and Eighth streets, permitting the East and West traffic to sift Into the city, and through It as It desired, without congestion and without prejudice for or against property Interests naturally Interested In the flow of traffic. The Boulevard was wide and sate and free for all, with no bottleneck!. "Drive out and look at It now. There have been no record acci dents at this Intersection. But under the pretext of "modernis ing' and 'making this Intersection safe,' Franklin Boulevard was taken for the purposea of a fill, and little narrow semicircular 'alley substituted for the other wise broad straight boulevard which existed there. The original boulevard permitted some traffic naturally and normally to flow on down to Eighth, through the city and naturally out again. Short of putting a gate across the Boule vard at this point the englneera could hardly have done a better Job for atopping tratfio outright and directing It all down post the big corporation owned and oper ated aervlce stations on Ninth. Eternal vigilance la the price of liberty, but our vigilance In this matter baa been unavailing. Two protests to the City Council against thla nnfatr and discrimin ating and prejudicial administra tion of an Improvement have been unavailing. If a broad thorough fare has been taken. It should be replaced. Tbla Improvement could and should bave been made with out prejudice for or against the property Interests of Eighth and Ninth. It doee seem that If Eu gene la not trying to ateal aome Industry or Institution from a neighboring city, then It will be aome local Interests trying to ateal, and succeeding in doing ao. from other local Interests. If the City of Eugene placidly sIV by and permits thla one of many outrages without a sincere effort to make restitution, then It Is deserving of rebuke by bonest and fair men everywhere. "Signed "J.

Town and University Actors Join In "Taming of Shrew", Crowning Guild Hall Season FILM TEST! The University Theatre will close its present season on Fridiy and Sat urday, May 23 and 26 with an out-of-dour production of the old favor ite, Shakespeare's The Taming of the Sbrew. This boisterous comedy hss delighted audiences of every dsy and s:e since its first production by Shakespeare's owu compsny. Many of the greatest names of the English speaking stage are closely associated with it; Kitty dive, David Garrick, Edwin Booth, F.-n.-.y Daven port, Macrcady Kemble, Clnru Mor ris, Henry Irving and Ellen Terry, Sothern and Marlowe. Perhaps the finest production ever made vas that of Daly's famous company in New York in 1SS7 with John Drew as Petrncbio, the Tamer, Ada Rehan as Katharine, the Shrew and Otis. Skinner as Lucentio, the romantic lover of the Shrew's younger sister, Bisnca. In the present cast, which Is re hearsing under the direction of Mrs. Ottilie Seybolt, director of the Uni versity drama division, an attempt has been made to assemble a group of players representative of Eugene. Karl Thunemann and Dale Cooley and Jack Hpeer, Mrs. Maybe!! Rietman and Mrs. Daisy Swanton Hamlin repre sent the citizenry of Eugene at large. John Casteel and Leslie Lewis of the university faculty appear In the comic roles of Gremio and Grumio. Edgar Wulzen of the University high school plays Tranio while Vernon Russell and Rollo Browning as Petruchio's comic servants Gregory and Sugarsop, represent the Eugene High school. Billy Allen ss Biondello errand boy for Lucentio is from Roosevelt Junior High. Mrs. Seybolt would have liked a representative from each junior high school in the cast but unfortun ately there was a part for only one very young boy. University students appearing are James Doyle and Joyce Busenbark of Roseburg as Baptista, father of the Shrew and Curtis, Pet ruchio's housekeeper; Curtis Barnes and William Dougherty of Medford as Hortenslo and the Haberdasher; Hank Robert and Parks Hitchcock as Nathaniel and Peter, Kenaston Bell of Pasadena as Vincentio the real father of Lucentio, Bill Thienes of Springfield as an Officer of the Law, with Bob Cathey of Portland and Al thea Peterson of Eugene as the ro mantic lovers Lucentio and Bicann. while Bill Schlotb of Portland and Virginia Wappenstein of Eugene head the cast in the roles of Petru chio and Katharine. Gerald S. Garner, Former Eugenean, Weds in Honolulu Announcement was received by Eugene friends, Saturday, that Gerald S. Garner, formerly of this city, waa married Thursday, May 3. to Mrs. Mildred L. Whyts of Honolulu. The ceremony waa solemnised In the Central Union church In Honolulu. Mr. Garner, for nearly ten yeara circulation manager for the Register-Guard, left recently for Hono lulu to accept the position of cir culation manager for the Hono lulu Advertiser. The bride has been a resident of Honolulu for the past 10 years. A complete history of the port of Florence, Lane county's outlet to the sea, wilt be written by Alfred L. Lo max, professor of business adminis tration, it was announced here today. Preliminary work on the project is already under way. The first part of the history will deal with tile historical phases of the founding of the community and the port, snd with its various commercial and industrial developments, Mr. Lo max says. The second part will deal with the port itself, expenditures that have been made, work completed, work contemplated and volume ship ping for the past and present. Mr. Lomax has specialised In this type of study, and already has made important contributions in this field. With Ronald Robnett he made a com plete industrial survey of Lane county a few years sgo, and has done other work of this kind in various parts of the state. A correct account of the nsmlng of the port is sought by Mr. Lomax. The story most frequently hesrd Is that a name plate of sailing vessel, the "Florence." wss found on the site of the town about 1875, after the boat had been wrecked near there. Anyone with information on this point Is asked to write to Mr. Lomax. The first port project was begun in 1891, Mr. Lomax's preliminary studies show, uhe city, formerly In' accessible from inland points during the winter, is now an easy drive from Eugene at any time during the year, and many people have hopes that It msy serve as sn Important transpor tation outlet for this part of the state in the future. The Internal revenue department of North Carolina estimates that state's tobacco crop last season was worth '.Ki..-M.nnn. Sheriff Makes Good Time With Election Boxes All the ballot boxes with the official returns of the vote at the primary elections Friday had been turned over to County Clerk Dill ard by the middle of Saturday afternoon. Under a new law the sheriff, instead of aome - member of the election board In each precinct, la now required to bring the boxes to Eugene. Under the old law It was often the case that the member of the election board would choose to wait a day or su before starting tor Eugene and as a result It delayed the work of counting the votes. But this was not the reason that the law was changed requiring the aherlff to gather up the boxes. Each man who brought the boxes In was paid mileage and the legislator who sponsored the new law fig ured that every county would save this mileage which ran into quite a sum In a big county like Lane. Sheriff Swarta started out at daylight Saturday for Oakrldge and gathered all the boxes be tween here and there. Mark Hathaway, deputy, went to the coast section and Deputy George Canaday went to Walton and vic inity. Some of the election board members brought the boxes In voluntarily. Sheriff Swarts said that all the boxes In the Eugene precincts and those from Santa Clara and Springfield were delivered by mid night Friday. , Graduation Held For Lone Pine A large crowd attended the pro zram held at the Lone Pine school Thursday evening for graduation.
