Trouble Arises
In Bond Issue
Dallas "Technicality trouble"
has again beset a major local
bond issue with the result that
the city of Dallas is preparing to
re-advertise for bids on the sale
of $175,000 In bonds for the new
three million gallon reservoir, a
project that is now well under
way.
The bonds had been sold to
the State of Oregon, but a Port
land bonding attorney pointed
out a discrepancy between a
Dallas charter amendment and
the ordinance calling for the
sale of the bonds with the re
sult of nullifying the original
sale.
The charter stipulates that the
city of Dallas may call in bonds
and pay them In full after a ten
year period has elapsed. The
reservoir ordinance stated that
the city could call in the bonds
after a five-year period.
The city council Monday eve
ning approved the first reading
of ordinance 531 which calls for
the re-advertising for bids on the
sale of bonds. Final passage is
expected at the forthcoming
regular meeting on June 20.
It is understood that the State
of Oregon, because of another
technicality caused by the man
ner in which the new ordinance
is written, cannot bid on the
bonds again.
Meanwhile, F. B. Miller and
Company Is working unabated
on the excavation for the reser
voir, the contract having been
awarded to them about the time
the bonds were sold to the state.
The Salem Sand and Gravel
company has completed Installa

Henie, international skating star,
said today she still had enough
clothes "to get by" even though
a thief lifted $33,000 worth of
her furs and "nearly all'' her
gowns yesterday, bringing her
total losses in theft this year to
$63,000.
"Why I've lost a whole new
wardrobe and those lovely sa
bles," said the petite blonde yes
terday when she was told that
three of her suitcases had disap
peared from a truck en route
from her hotel to an air freight
terminal. "Luckily I've got a
few doodads left."
Truck Driver Pat Atteo said
the hags were stolen during one
of the three stops he made. Po
lice said the lock on the door of
the truck had been tampered
with. Miss Henie said the con
tents of the suitcases were in-
sured for only $5000 for their
trip to California.
The loss included a sable
scarf and stole.
Last February a thief walked
out of Miss Henie's hotel suite
with two mink coats valued at
$28,000. The robbery remains
unsolved.

luscious Lucy, the husband hun

She brushed aside all the eli

flame had taken on a new glow.
Lucy came here for the an
nounced purpose of finding a
husband. It was a radio program
stunt, but the 23-year-old Los
Angeles accounting clerk really
went to work at it.
She picked out her man
Sandy Crews, a blond Canadian.
Before that romance could jell,
Jimmy Ahearn, a southern gen

George Von Tobel, a cowboy
booted engineer from Las Vegas,
Nev., bid for her hand.
Ahearn took her to dinner
last night. They ate fried chick
en. "It was delicious," said Lu
cille.
The whirlwind courtships ap
parently blew the embers of a
smouldering love into a burning
fire. Lucille said that Jay Kin

Wenatchee, Wash., and started
driving to Colorado Springs.
Lucille said she had a few
dates with Jay in Los Angeles
where he was a law student in

"I'll accept," she told report
ers. "Where's the nearest town
we can get married without de
lay?"
She expects Jay today.
