the Oregon Supreme Court on
grounds such action violates
both state and federal const!
tutiona.
The matter came before
Oregon's highest court on ap
peal from Deschutes county
after the city of Bend ordered
the addition of fluoride to Its
water system. Ordinarily, the
case, which was before the
Deschutes county Circuit
Court, would be filed, on ap
peal, at the Pendleton quar
ters of the Supreme Court
But because of the widespread
interest in the case, involv
ing the pojer of any munici-
pality in Oregon to add fluor
ide to its water supply, the
high court agreed to transfer
the case to Salem, and is ex
pected to set a date for hear
Ing after all briefs are in. If it
had remained in Pendleton,
the case would not have been
heard until May.' '
A restraining order barring
the city of Beud uom adding
fluoride to Its. water supply
was sought by William J.
Baer, as a taxpayer who said
he was bringing the suit on
behalf of other taxpayers.
