L. Franzen for a verbal report to the city council on plans for

Eugene Wins
Suit for Land
The city of Eugene won a
supreme court case today to
condemn 51 acres of land for
use in the city's power and
water system.
The land is owned by Mr. and
Mrs. A. West Johnson. They
claimed that the city didn't need
the land, and that the city
wanted to pay only a tenth of
what the land is worth.
The city offered $2,500 for
the land, and the Johnsons
wanted $27,785 for it.
The lower court of Circuit
Judge G. F. Skipworth gave the
city the land and fixed $4,500
as the fair value. The Johnsons
then appealed.
Today's supreme court deci
sion, by Justice J. O. Bailey,
upheld the $4,500 figure.

Deny Registrar
In Labor Temple
A petition asking that a regis
trar for registering voters may
be set up in quarters at the La
bor Temple here filed with
County Clerk Harlan Judd has
been returned as not complying
with provisions of the statute
that such petition shall be sign
ed by "not less than 25 resi
dent taxpayers," a check indi
cating that there was an insuf
ficient number of signers be
ing resident taxpayers to qual
ify. County Clerk Judd stated that
he would have no objection to
such a registrar being estab
lished there under petitions
complying with the provisions
of the law and also, if the peti
tion stated such registrar would
not ask for remuneration at the
rate of 10 cents a voter regis
tered as allowed in precincts
outside of the county seat. The
county clerk said that the law
does not allow for such pay
ments inside the county seat but
does under certain conditions
where registrars are set up out
side of the county seat.
The law further provides that
in event the county clerk denies
such petition an appeal may be
taken to the county court.
