The Fortnightly Literary Club, of representatives of Morris Bros., whs
which Mrs Kern is an active member, were the successful bidders on Eu-
gene water works bonds, stating that
they had just received a telegram
from their attorney in Chicago, who
has been examining the precedure
relative to the issue of the bonds,
advising him that he cannot approve
the bonds for the reason that sec­
tions 108 and 1 12 of the city charter
which were amended so that the city
might issue these bonds, were amend­
ed by submission on a single ballot!
and no opportunity afforded the vo­
ters to vote on the amendments sep­
arately, the attorney holding accord­
ingly that this is absolutely fatal to
the validity of the bonds.
Mayor Matlock at once consulted
City Attorney Bean and Attorney A.
C. Woodcock, counsel for the Wil­
lamette Valley Co., and they were
both of the opinion that the Chicago
attorney was wrong in the matter.
Mr. Woodcock went to Portland this
morning to confer with the repre­
sentative of Morris Bros, and with
the Willamette Valley Co.

tion 112 relates to the manner of

In one company of
