Celebrants Must
Get Permits Before
Lighting Bonfires
Por tho information of those who
might want to light bonfires to cele
brate etoctlon victories, tho follow
ing paragraph from tho flro ordi
nance recently pat Into effect in
Klamath Falls, will bo of Interest.
It follews:
Section 10. Donflrcs; For
bidden Without Written Per
mit. No person shall light or
kindle a bonfire for the purpoao
of consuming waste material
In tbe open air, within the
limits of the city of Klamath
Falls, regardless of whether
the same be lighted on a pub
lic street or other public
grounds, or on private property,
without first having obtained a
written permit so to do, sign
ed by the chief of tbe fire de
partment, who shall In all cases
when requested so to do, grant
permlta therefor, excepting
where In bla Judgment tke
kindling of auch fires would
endanger ine sarety or lire or
property.
Aa will be noted, tbe flro chief
anay give permission to light bon
area If In his Judgment It Is safe
to do 80.
BUT POOLE
Technically be has paid hli fine
for speeding $85 Imposed by tbe
police court more thnn a year ego
but tbe principle for which ho fought
u vindicated, stoutly averts It. W,
Poole, local theatre manager., -who
declares that personally he kas not
and will aot pay tho fine and will
go to Jail first. Aa tho Cltv haa the
money, there Is little danger of tbo
theatre proprietor being Immolated
on the altar of prlnicple.
Mr. Poole maintains that W. If. A

,.g noi aj aumoniy or nis client, out lo
461 1 rectlf'r roJstake of bis own office
,KRthe alleged loss' of the notice of an-
Ic.ipeal to the circuit court. Police
Judge Leavitt says that the lost
notice waa supplied by an r.ffldavlt
from the police Judge, after he bad
been notified by the higher court
that It was not with the parers sent
up
Mr. Poole makes tbe following
statement:
"That the city of Klamath Falls
collected a fine of 825 from me Is
untrue. The facts are that through
an error on the part of Oeo. Chas
tain, former partner of W. H. A.
Renner, tho papers in the case had
been left in Judge Lcavitt's office
and were 'lost' by Judge Lcavtlt.
When tho t.lme limit of appeal had
expired there was nothing left for
Circuit Judge Kuykcndall to do but
dismiss tho case.
"Thoreupon Mr. Itcnner paid tho
flno of- $25 to the police Judge and
pubticly stated It was to save Ceo.
Chastaln'a faco that ho did so. Mr.
Poole did not and Mr. Renner will
not permit hint to pay this fino as
It was an error on the part of his
legal partner at that tlmo that tho
papers In tho case wero permitted
to be 'lost.' "
"Tho city Is satisfied." said City
Attorney J. IE. Carnahnn 'todav.
"Whether defendant or attorney paid
is Imtnatorlal. Tho city has tho
monoy."
Pollco Judgo l.eavllt tcoutod tho
Idea that any papers In tho celebra
ted causo had been intentionally mis
laid. "I was moro anxious than Mr.
Poolo to havo n ruling of tho circuit
ccurt on the Jury issue," ho said. "If
tho police court had to provldo a
'struck" Jury for every caso when n
Jury Is asked I would bo swamped
with Jury trial demands. With tho
defendant it was a mattor of $25,
with the police Judgo It Is a mutter
of adding greatly to tho dall bur
dens of the Job."
