F
PIPE LliyE WORK
IT
E
Work will begin immediately on the
preliminary details 'for the construc
tion of a new"" pipe line to Hayden
bridge on the MeKenzie river, and
the new reservoir Jn Eugene, for
which a total . of $.110,000 in bonds
were voted at the city election yes
terday, according to C. A. MeCIain,
superintendent of the city water
board.
"The first step, of course, will be
for The council to get out transcripts
and advertise for bids on these
bonds," said Mr. McClain. "This,
however does not prevent us from go
ing rich? ahead with plans for getting
the construction work under way,
which we are doing.
Survey Finished
"We have finished the general sur
vey on the Mi-Kcnzie rivef project,
and now that the honds hove been
voted, we will start immediately to
wards completing preliminary details
for the work. If the bonds are sold
at once; we can start work within
the next two months, and will he able
to have the project complete for 1020.
The job will be a contract job, and
we will nk for bids on several differ
ent kinds of pipe. We estimate that
nproximately 40 per cent of the
amount to be spent on the work will
be for labor."
Rcsorvotra Planned
The new reservoir, which includes
a second level reservoir on Kairmount
heights, two pumps and extension line,
wiii be built on a very close margin
according to Mr. McClain. Bids on
the construction will be called for
just as soon on the money becomes
available, but it will probably be late
this summer before the work is com
plete. When the board built the col
lege bill reservoir the bids w,ere op
ened April 3, and the work was not
over until September 1.
Plans are being made by the water
hoard to use the fire reservoir as an
emergency reservoir this summer, by
aid of a booster pump, to operate dur
ing the season when the water de
mand reaches the peak load.

COURT ACTION
L
ISI
Fire Apparatus Already
Purchased, And no Funds
Are Available
Another Election" May be
Necessary, is Belief of
IVJr. Parks
Because voters of Eugene failed to
approve the $25,000 bond issue to pay
for the new triple combination fire
engine and city service truck that
have already been delivered nnl are
now in use by the city, it is likely that
the company selling the apparatus will
have to resort to the courts to recover
tbeir money.
This prediction was made by Mayor
E. B. Parks today, who. declares the
peculiar predicament into which the
voters have forced the council by re
pudiating their approvnl of n measure
they already have passed, and which
is being tacld up in the litigation over
the municipal bond issue, may in the
erd cost the city more s thnn $10Qi
more than expected.
Situation Complicated.
'It is quite probable that many
voters went against this measure be
causethey thought it was for new ap
paratus, and not just to free the
measure from its lenl entanglements"'
sadi Mayor Parks. "We own the ap
paratus, have contracted to pay for it.
nnd the vote yesterday simply com
plicates the nituatlon further. I am
greatly disappointed over the matter,
but tbe hejt the council enn do now is
to await develouments. I have tele
phoned H, A. Long and company of
Portland to send a representative
down at once to confer with regard to
the situation."
It. A. Long and company is the firm
representing the American La France
Fire Apparatus company, from which
the fire engines were bought. Their
agents hafe the alternatives, accord
ing to Mayor Parks, of compelling the
city to call another city election to get
payment for the purchnse, by filing a
suit in tlie courts; or by starting man
damus proceedings against the muni
cipal corporation, compelling the city
to levy a tar sufficient to pay the
judgment.
$23,500 Involved.
The amount involved ia $2,'l.r00 for
the two pieced of equipment. The city
if compelled to pay, by the courts, will
have the interest to pay in addition,
the mayor states, whereas if the
measure would have been approved at
yesterday's election, the principal
only would have had to be paid.

Is Statement
SALEM, Ore., April 10. Political
differences and a breach in friendship
that has been widening since early in
the late legislative session caused
Governor Pierce yesterday to oust
Ben F. Porris of Enceno from the
state game commission. The governor
appointed M. II. Buuer of Corvallis to
fill the vacancy.
The schism between Dorria and the
governor was started when Dorris
early in the legislative session is said
to have showed himself in favor of
taking the appointment of the fish and
game commissions out of (he hands oi
the governor nnd placing them in the
hands of the state board nf control.
" Govprnor Calls.
The governor yesterday afternoon
called Dorris by telephone at Eugene
and requested him to send in hi;
resignation by letter, Dorris replied
that he wanted some time to consid'
the matter, whereupon tho governor
said he wanted to lake action immed
lately and that he would remove Dor
ris without waiting for bin resigna
tion. Dorris became a member of tbe
commission by appointment of Pierce
June 18, lilU.'t, and his terra would
have expired February 25, 102S.
Hnuer, his succesnor, ty a rrcamery
man at Corvallis, nnd is said to be
active in various game organisations
of the state.
Before deciding upon the removal
of Dorris the governor conferred fit

and Milton A: Miller.
