Finally Gov. Waet agreed to cut out
all his expense account and a s k s a
contract for four par cent of the
amount received by Coos county on
account of the Southern Oregon taxes.
This contract Judge Watson was will
ing to Sign ns a fair settlement with
the governor, but Archie Philip de
murred and would not sign unless
John Yoakam did.
Commissioner
Yoakam was soon a t Lis place and
would not take any action a t that
time. And so the m atter is left as
a legacy to the new county court. The
amount to be paid, if the settlement is
as Judge Watson agreed, will not be
mare than »20,000, If the payments
do not exceed »600,000.
Judge Watson also says th at the in
clusion of over »36,000 in the settle
ment made by the government on ac
count of the Southern Oregon taxes
for 1018 was due to Governor W est’s
efforts.
Judge Wataon made a full state
ment of these facta in a letter to the
new County Court,, asking their care
ful consideration that a just settle
ment might be made in the matter.
When the court convened on Monday
they took tha m atter up and passed
the following resolutions in regard to
it:
The communication of James Wat
aon a t thia time in the m atter of the
emploment of Oswald West by Coos
county to represent the interest cf
said county before the:congress of the
United States in the m atter of legis
lation pertaining to the Coos Bay
Wagon Road Land Grants; and in
which m atter it appears th at a ten-,
tative arrangement or agreement has
been entered into by \ and between
C om county in conujnction with
Douglas county for the payment of
Oswald Waat the sum of four per cent
of the sum or sums to be collected in
said m atter,
Now it ia hereby resolved th at such
sum is exhorbitant and excessive and
payment of services on such exagger
ated basis ought not to ba made;
That the m atter ought to be refer
red to the Coos County District At
torney to ascertain and report there
on, to what extent in his opinion the
existing contracts or purported con-
cts, agreements, arrangements and
understandings have become vest ad,
and are binding, if a t all, upon Coos
county.
y
Further, resolved th at tha -adjudi
cation or almeasorement of compen
sation for such services, if any, ought
not to be delegated to the County
Judge, or to any single member of
this court, to fix, but th at such sum
and admeasurement or adjudication
thereof can only and properly be de
termined upon by the joint and con
current votes and dacision of the en
tire county epurt or a majority there
of in regular session assembled, and
met for the transaction of business of
such nature, and th at all orders of
such nature, heretofore made or al
leged to have been made, and now ex
isting or alleged to exist ba and the
same ara hereby rescinded and ab
rogated, as far as it may lie within
the upwer of this body to do so.
That no action should be taken
hereon a t thia time, until,
,- First, this court be advised of its
obligations and righto in the prem
ises, by the district attorney, by rea
son of any existing resolutions, re
strictions or contracts. If any, and,
Second, until formal and proper
presentation of a claim be made by
aaid Oswald West, supported by a re
port of his doings and services ren
dered, and of the actual results ob
tained;
That a copy of this resolution be
sent to the district attorney for his
office files and that another copy be
forwarded to the claimant, Oswald
Wets.

eral times.
