Thcrto rnises were grunted by iinnnininus vote of the council, null with the approval of Dr. Keddy, who in addressing the. council said that the city wns getting excellent serv ice, from the men workiii" on the grade, nnd.thnt thev were entitled to belter wnges (linn they were get ting. This increase of pay will add .$25 or $30 to the present dailv pav roll. The public utilities commission filed n report suporting the neceiil nnen of the Dr. Ileddy proposition regarding tho enshinp- of .$20,000 in warrants to continue work on the road pending the new vote on the bonds, nhtl nlso supjiortiiig the re scinding of the Helm contract. A new contract along the line of the Helm contract is now being drafted with Dr. Reddy as n principal, and ns soon as it is prepared tho coun cil will meet to consider and ratify it. A meeting of the council is call ed for tonight at which timo the con tract will probably bo ready for consideration. Dr. Hcddy suggested that the council nuthoriza tho issuance of the second block of warrants of $10, 000 that the ensb bo ready to uros ccuto tho grading on a more exten sive scale during tho good weather of the fall. lie thought that with these funds available the road "bed could bo finished to Wildcrville and the bridges put in ready for the lay ing of rails by the time the bonds were again voted. The proposition was put up to the utilities commis sion. The mayor staled that lie bad dispensed with tho services of En fjinccr Ulnrnforl believing li's m ployment to bo unnecessary at the present time, but stated that tho ad vice of tho council and the commis sion would guide in the matter. Tho eonncil took no action nud there wns no discussion on the subject. Salem, Oregon, Sept. IS, 1013. To tho Kditer: In our contract" with the various school book pub lishers tlie law requires the stale board of education to take the prices ns reported to us by the state text book commiision. In our contracts, however, we ad ded a clause to which all of the pitli Ushers agreed and signed without protest, to the erfect that tho pub lisher will not sell any book at n greater price than U charged for such book in any other state in the United States. This department discovered a short time ago thnt the l'nlmer Writing i.essons lor primary grades was selling in other states for 1," cents, while the contract price in this state is 20 cents. The higher book, known ns Palmer Method of Huiness Writ ing, is selling in Chicago for 1(1 cents while the contract price in this state is 2o cents. We look this mat ter up with the Palmer ixitple and after threatening to brine suit on their bond we got them lo, instruct their agent in this state to notify all dealers thnt these books would he sold for '15 cents and 1(5 cent re spectively. If nny of the children in your community hnve paid a high er price than this they should tako the books back and nsk for the dif ference. The J. K. Oill company, agents for tho publishers, informs me that the publishers will make the amount good to your local dealer. That the patrons of the schools may know they neei not pay these Inch prices, I will npnreeiatc your announcement of this notice. This department is endeavoring to do nil thnt is possible in securing for the boys nnd girls of Oregon, hooks at as low n price as they can be se cured anywhere in tilo unteij htntes.J We will continue our in estimations on ever' book contracted for use in our schools.
