Can a person be a councilman and citv
surveyor at the same time ? The city
council says “Yes.’’ But we beg to dif
fer, not that w$ want to deprive Council
man F. L. Sappington of the honor of
holding down a most unthankful job—
that of being a city dad.
Probably
some of the legal lights may construe the
following paragraph that it does not
interfere, but somehow the Headlight is
of a different opinion :
“No officer of the corporation shall
l»e interested in any contract or work
the expenses of which are to be paid out
of the city treasury.”
We are aware that a councilman was
at one time fire warden and received pay
for the job, and on that account there
should be no objection to Councilman
Sappington being city surveyor, but to
correctly construe the charter he cannot
hold down both jobs. One thing is cer
tain, Fred will never become a Morgan
by holding down both positions.

boro are to have condensed milk fac
tories and it will prove a great benefit in
getting those towns out of their sleepy
dispositions and save them from dying a
natural death. But being in the center
of a grass country, with dairy farms all
around and an abundance of milk to be
had, there is not a better place than Tilla
mook in the whole State of Oregon for
a condensed milk factory. This is no idle
assertion, so we will defy anyone to deny
it. It may be wise to let well alone, but
it is just as well to know if the dairymen
can make more out of their milk by tak
ing it to a condensed milk factory than
a cheese factory. That is the point, and
if it can be shown that a condensed milk
factory would be to their ad vantage and
a benefit to the city, then, by all means,
let Tillamook City have a condensed
milk factory.
