Differences between the par ties involved have been settled out of court, it was reported. It was also pointed out that a story in The Mail Tribune relative to the case said that Judge Orval J. Millard, Grants Pass, who conducted the first hearing in themalter, had been overruled by the supreme court. Such was not the case, the attorneys said adding that the order suspend ing Judge Millard's decision was merely to give him an opportun ity to present an argument on the law, to aid the- supreme court -in rendering a decision on the constitutionality of the law involved. History Given The attorneys gave a history of the case, which began in Ap ril, 1952, when Vivian Whitsett and others began condemnation proceedings for a ditch right of way across property owned by Mr. and Mrs. Ives L. Brown in the Applegate. They had Apple gate river water rights, but their only access was across the Browns' land, and under the law in question they had the right to enter the land for ditch ing, providing they first obtain ed a court order and posted bond. Proper payment could be dcterminted' later by a jury. The hearing was conducted by Judge Millard, and he granted the order, and required the plaintiffs to put up bond, which they did. Contested Aclion The Browns contested the action on the grounds that the constitution requires that pri vate property shall not be taken for public use without just com pensation first being assessed and tendered. They applied to the supreme court for a writ of mandamus requiring the judge to set aside his order, or to show cause why he did not do so However, before Judge Mil lard could prepare his answer. which was to have been studied by the supreme court In its de cision on the constitutionality of the law, the parties settled their differences, and applied for a dismissal of the condemnation proceedings in the circuit court, and the mandamus proceedings in the supreme court. The dls., ihissals both were granted. Mr. and Mrs. Brown were rep resented in the action by At torneys Hugh Collins and Paul Haviland, and the plaintiffs were ' represented by Roberts, Kellington and Branchfield. , Wafer Fluoridation Slated for Corvallis Corvallis Fluoridation Corvallis' drinking water of will begin next week, it was decided by the city council recently. The council voted, 5 to 2, to approve the measure after the May 18 primary election in which an "advisory" vote of 2,705. to 2,085 approved the plan.
