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.
