It Does Not Issue Warrants J. N. Gearhart, secretary of the Port of Coquille river, was in Coquille Monday to see Judge Thompson about the river bank repair at Norway, where several trees slid in the past winter. The Pont is paying the great er part of the coat of piling and driv ing them, and the county will have to get the trees out before the piling can be driven. Mr. Gearhart, who has been secre tary of the Port since 1914, says that for some years now no tax has been levied, all expenses being paid from the interest received on the 117,000 in Port funds. And it ia only a de mand deposit interest received, too, the law not permitting the port to in vest in government or state bonds. With the present system of good roads the necessity for keeping the river channels in the best possible condition is not like it was prior to 1925. George Goodman Improving Geo.
