Jewing bill in the Senate. Itexplaint itelf :
A.Bill for an Act to protect Contractor!,
Sub-Contractor and Laborers in their
claims against Railroad Companies or Cor
porations, Contractors or Sub-Contractors.
Be it enacted by the Legislative Assem
bly of the State of Oregon :
Section l. That any or all person or per
sons who shall hereafter as sub-contractor,
material man or laborer, furnish to any
contractor to any railroad corporation any
fuel, ties, materials, supplies or other arti
cle or thing, or who shall do or perform
any work or labor for such contractor in
conformity with any terms of any contract,
express or implied, which such contractor
may hare made with any such railroad
corporation, shall have a lien upon all prop
erty, real, personal and mixed.of said rail
road corporation ; provided.such sub-contractor,
material man or laborer shall have
complied with the provisions of this Act ;
but the aggregate of all liens hereby au
thorized shall not in any case exceed the
price agreed upon in the original contract
to be paid by such corporation to the orig
inal contractor j and provided further, that
no such lien shall take priority over exist
ing liens.
Section 3. The person performing such
labor shall cause a notice in writing to be
served on such officer of said corporation
as the service of summons may be made,
which said notice may be in the following
form, or any similar form :
"To the. ...(name of the company). . . . t
You are hereby notified that I am (or have
been) employed by as a laborer (or
have furnished supplies, as the case may
be,) on or for the and that I shall
hold all the property of said railroad com
pany to secure my pay,"
If there shall be a contractor and sub
contractor, material man or laborer,a copy
of the original contract shall be served
with such notice andattached thereto,whlch
notice shall be served at any time within
twenty days after the completion of such
sub-contract or such labor.
Section 3. If for any reason service of
such notice can not be made in the coun
ty in which the sub-contract was made
jor labor performed, or material furnished,
the laborer or person furnishing labor or
material shall file said notice in the office
Of the cierk of the circuit court, and such
clerk shall keep a record of said notice and
cause a copy of the same to be mailed to
the head office of said company, and to keep
a list of the names ot persons so claiming
a lien, the names of the corporations
against which such liens are claimed and
the amount claimed.
Section 4. If the money due the persun
having given notice as aforesaid shall not
be paid within ten days after the money
shall become due and payable, then such
person may commence suit therefor in any
court having jurisdiction of the amount
claimed to be due again3t the corporation
with which the original contract was made;
or he may commence suit as aforesaid
against such railroad corporation and orig
inal contractor jointly, and execution may
issue thereon as in other cases.
Section 5. Should the original contractor
in any casa fail to complete his conti act.any
person entitled to a lien as aforesaid may
file his petition in any court of record in any
county through which the road may be
constructed against the railroad corporation
and .he contractors, setting forth the na
ture nf his claim and the amount due, as
near as may be, and the fact that, the con
tractor has failed to complete his contract.
The clerk of said court shall thereupon
issue a citation directed to all persons or
corporations interested in the matter set
forth in the petition, to be published In
some newspaper printed in and of general
circulation in the county, for four succes
sive weeks, setting forth that said petition
has been filed, and the nature thereof, and
that all persons interested may appear and
file such claim as they may have at a time
to be stated in such citation ; and the court,
cn tne hearing of said petition, and the
claims of such persons as may Interplead,
may rendci such a decree against said cor
poration as may be due to the petitioner
and such persons as interplead ; and such
decree shall have the effect as other decrees
against such original contractor and against
said railroad corporation, and execution
may issue upon the same to enforce such
decree against either.
Section 6. V.'heneverany suit so brought
shall be determined in favor of the plaintiff
or petitioner, the court shall allow such
attorney's fees as may be reasonable to be
taxed as costs.
Section 7. Inasmuch as there is now no
law upon this subject, and it is of impor
tance to laborers and material men, this
Act shall take effect from'and after its ap
proval by the Governor.
A Portland exchange speaking of the
late trouble about the laborers of Searle &
Deane getting their money speaks of the
O. P. company always having trouble
with their employes. It might add some
thing to the stock of knowledge of that
paper to say that the trouble was between
Searle & Deane and their laborers and not
between the laborers and the O. P. com
pany. We have it from reliable authority
that the O. P. company voluntarily pro
cured the means by which the laborers of
Searle & Deane were paid for their labor.
That bill of Looney's to create boards of
county school commissioners would not inure to
the benefit of the people. Under it no two
counties in the state would probably have exact
ly the same kind of text-books and every time
a family moved from one county to another a
new set of books in part or whole would have
to be purchased.
