Court Rules
Bank Loser
On Check
SALEM. ADrll 23 (P) Th
itate supreme court ruled today
that the Firit National Bank of
Portland Is the loser of $10,573
as the result of a worthless check
drawn three years ago by E. C.
Kelleck, a real estate broker.
The court's decision reversed
, Circuit Judge Martin W. Haw
kins of Multnomah county. It
was written by Justice Jamea
! T. Brand, with Justice Arthur
D. Hay dissenting.
The case originated when Mr.
and Mrs. John C. Noble of Port
land agreed to buy a hotel
through Kelleck, and they gave
him $10,573 as deposit. The
deal fell through, and the Nobles
asked for their money back.
Kelleck gave them a check for
$10,573 signed by himself.
Marked Check
Tha Nobles deposited the
check In the U. S. National bank,
where a teller marked the check
as being no good. Another teller,
however, misread the first tel
ler's mark, and sent it over to
the First National bank for pay
ment. The latter bank paid the
money, and upon finding the
check was worthless, filed suit
against the Nobles and the U.
S. National bank.
The lower court ruled that the
Nobles must reimburse the First
National bank. Today's decision
holds that the First National
bank must suffer the loss.

two lots, the county three, in
this proposed project, total as

$14,600, and the estimated cost
of paving $13,600.
There is nothing to be done
until after the May election,
the council pointed out, when
a levy will be presented to the
voters in regard to paving un
der such requests. Thomas' re
port was accepted and the mat
ter tabled.
Thomas also outlined the
Plum street project following a
petition submitted to the coun
cil last fall and calling for pav
ing of three blocks on Plum
from 6th to 9th, and 7th be
tween Oak and Willow, a
stretch of two blocks. Thomas
said this was "ready to go." As
sessed valuation is $37,740. es
timated cost, $34,344. It will be
necessary, in the Plum street
project, to organize a bonding
district. There was much dis
cussion in connection with those
who wish to pay cash and prop
erty owners who desire the 10-
year plan. Thomas and City At
torney Henry Perkins will
study the matter further.

ing for hard surfacing, curb in

mprovements under a 10-year
bond. The $300 sought by the
city engineer for survey and
advertising will be pro-rated
and credited back to the prop
erty owners. Thomas said the
work could be done this year
and the council decided to refer
it to the engineer for action.

by the gift committee of Veter
ans Memorial perk that con
demnation proceedings be in-
stituted against General Pe
: troleum company and the
I Hampton property Included in
: the site, Councilman Rollin
ICantrall suggested that all pos
I sible steps be taken to keep
I out of court and that further
negotiations be attempted. The
oil company property it ap
praised at $7827, but the com
pany seeks $13,500 for the site.
The committee has made an of
fer which includes buying the
property and renting it back to
the company with a 90-day no
tice to vacate as the considera
tion. This, the council was in
formed, the oil company would
not consider and they do not
wish to relinquish the property
until they know Just where the
proposed highway will run.

it was only a matter of defec
tive title.
