REMODELING THE YEAR
The fight against the exteusiou
of the city boundary lines will be
carried to the supreme court, it is
stated. The city will no doubt
win its case, otherwise how would
it be possible for an Oregou city
to grow and expaud? If every
step taken by Cottage d rove in the
matter o f extending its boundary
lines had been defeated by the
courts in the past, this would still
be a very diminutive aud insigni
ficant municipality— about a 2x4
city, as it were.
