i PAGE TEN THE CAPITAL JOURNAL, SALEM, OREGON Davey Asks Solons Pass On Selection Of Contested Site Legislative decision the suita bility of the proposed bite for the. ; new boys' training school, as se lected by the majority m ambers ol the state board of control for the location of the new $280,000 BChool plant authorized by the leg islature in its last regular sension, is sought by Representative Duvey, Marion, In a concurrent resolu tion Introduced in the house Tues day. Mr. Davey proposes that a joint committee consisting of three members from the house and two from the senate be appointed "to Investigate conditions relative to the proposed site as selected by the majority members of the Ore gon state board of control as to its general feasibility and as to its general fitness as a site for such proposed new boys' training school, or as to the advisability of the -purchase of an entirely new site not so situated upon lands now owned by the state, said in vestigation to be made forthwith and said committee to report its findings to the present special ses sion of the legislative assembly, or to said Oregon state board of con trol." Onlookok'S to the controversy of several months' standing between Governor 01ott and Secretary of State Sam Kozer, the majority members ofthe board, and Statol Treasurer Huff, the third member of the board of control, view the resolution as a move to secure leg islative approval of the position of Governor Olcott and Secretary Kozer. , Mr. Hoff's position has been that of unalterable opposition to the proposed Site, on the grounds that it does not include suitable agricultural land necessary to the efficient operation of such a plant as the boys' training school, that the character and lay of the land is such as to make the construc tion of the new school plant there unnecessarily expensive, and that the close proximity to the state tubreculosis hospital, asylum farm and penitentiary make the site one of poor environment for the boys to be housed in the school. In his resolution Davey Justifies the selection of the site by the provisions of the legislative act appropriating the money for the school, which provides that the new school shall be built on state lands. A new high power life line gun has been produced, which is cap able of throwing a "slug," with the line attached, for a distance of from 1600 to 1800 feet.
