DELAY HEARING Oregon City, July 31 The pub lic service commission's hearing n the matter of discontinuance of service on the Willametto Val ley Southern railway line, eoutb of Kaylor station, to have bee, held Thursday, has been postpon ed for 60 days, according to word received here Wednesday from the commission secretary. Additional time was allowed for negotiations between Interested parties, according to the state ment of the commission. Due to condition of bridges on the line south of Voder station, the railroad stopped service over the line between Yoder .and Mount Angel Friday night, but linal action on the matter will come before the commission at Its hearing. Residents of the district affect ed by the halting of railway ser vice are said to be anxious that the line be kept open, asserting that produce, wood and stock cannot be handled by trucks from their section and will lack a mar ket if freight service is stopped They are also seeking the contin uance of passenger, service,- H ie understood. The railroad company in Its pe tition to the commission stated that an expenditure of $86,000 would be necessary to put the mad in shape, which, with the annual loss of more than $10,000 on the stretch from Yoder to Mount Angel, under its recent op eration, would place too great a burden on the company. jil1 fT STATE TO HEAR COUNTY SIDE OF ROAD ROW (Continued from pa go me) trip from Aral's corners and allow the St. r.iul-Falrfield road to stand on the program as originally provided. To balance up the situation be cause of the four miles added to the program In the north end, It was decided to add four more mllcR of market roads in the south end. These roads would include a cut off from the West Stayton-Aums- Ville road to the Turner-Marion road, a distance of two miles, and to add two miles to the Silver Creek Falls road by way of the Union hill school house, which would bring that road within five miles of Silver Creek Falls. According to Engineer Scott tho delegation from AVoodburn would have none of this compromise de claring that they wanted their road on and the. St. Paul-Fairfield road off. Seeking n Bridge In this move Is seen a desire of tho Woodburn delegation leading up to an eventual extension of their road to Buttevllle on the Willam ette river, which would mean the construction of a bridge across the river at that point where there is no bridgo now. The court wil linsist, It U under stood that the compromise as pro posed by them be adopted, as It ful fills the wish of the Woodburn delegation for completion of the four mile stretch of paving, also ives tho St. Paul-Fairfleld farm ers the road they are anxious to have, and adds some needed high way extensions in the south end of the county. Conn's Attitude The court is unable to see why the oWodburn delegation, when given what they want, should ob ject to the Fairfield petitioners se curing what they desire. Tho Fair field petitioners already have rais ed considerable sum of money to be expended on their road Im provement In connection with mar ket road funds. Under the law no market road program can be carried out with out the approval of the state high way commissi" 1 The air search for Philip Knapp, alleged "thrill1 murderer, started At Mineola, N. when Maj.
