A complaint has been filed
against the City of Corvallis en
joining said city for paying for a
sarvey and estimate of costs in
the matter of a survey of a water
route from Corvallis to Rock
Creek.
Some time ago, ' when this
matter came up before the coun
cil it was stated that if the coun
cil went ahead with the proposed
survey the city would be enjoin
ed. It seems that the party
making the statement spoke
truly, for the complaint is now
matter of record. Judge Watters
being absent in Portland it has
been impossible to brine the
matter before him for argument,
that he might grant a temporary
injunction pending an argument
of the matter before the circuit
court.
The complaint reads: "Thos.
