¡¿allenino VOL XXXIH, NO. 23 TILLAMOOK, OREGON, TUESDAY. MARCH 21. 1922 EMPLOYEES ARE GIVEN FREE RENT Two Months House - Rent- With Light and Water, Will Be Given to Employees MEASURE IS PASSED BY PEOPLE TO CARE FOR LARGE AMOUNT OF OUTSTANDING WARRANTS AND STREET ASSESSMENTS Bonds To Carry Interest At Rate Of Six Percent; Same Rale As Out standing Warrants Now Expenses To Be Cut. Icaùliijljt Carry The bond issue was carried at the special election last Saturday, In spite of the inclement weather voters turned out to Cast their bal lots. The measure called for ar. is sue of «50,000 of city bonds to take ;up the present indebtedness of the city. «25,000 of this sum is in the form of outstanding warrants, whlcn are an accumulation of expenses incur- | red by the city for which the budget ! allowances have never been ample to cover. There has never been i ample taxes to pay the current in- debtedness of the city. Under the new budget law, a commission that I has been appointed to meet with the city council will be required to draw up a budget that will take i care of all expenses. The other «25,000 is the result of I delinquent street assessments, which the city will recover as soon as I property is sold, with the same in- I terest as warrants and bonds carry. Each budget commission, here- i after, will have to make provisions i for a surplus with which to take up each year a portion of the bonds whtch are about to be issued, and for which the election was held. The bonds carry 6 percent interest, the same rate as the outstanding warrants against the city now carry. It has been the policy of the pres ent council to keep the expenses within the budget estimate, and up to the present time this has been done and it seems likely that it will be possible to keep well under the budget estimate during the presnt year. Wheeler, Or., Mar. 18.—A. W. Vosbufg, president of the Wheeler Lumber company announced today that the company will not charge its employes» any house rent ln- eluding lights and water, during February and March. This will mean a saving of about «15 to ev- ery renter. “Most of the men have been idle for so long,” announced ___ ____ Mr. Vos burg, “that the money can be better used by them to settle some of their bills that have of necessity accum ulated. The local merchants have been compelled to hold the families <»ver their period of unemployment, and now that the company has again commenced operations, we feel it as part of our duty to do our share in lightening the burden that has of necessity grown heavy.” Announcement has also been made that the logging camp at Coal Creek, which has not been in opera tion for the past sixteen months, will again be running in about two weeks. Cooks are on the job and a few men are at the camp getting machinery and equipment ready to resume logging. The camp supplies logs tost the Wheeler mill, and when operating to full capacity employs about 100 men.

The ideal husband is acted by himself. This comedy has a very unusual plot and ending. The “Best Man’ ’presents an em barrassing love tangle which un ravels quite happily. Rodney Far ley, Grace Joliffe, Ruth Miller and William Driscol have been cast for this. Perhaps the most laughable com edy is “That Rascal Pat.” Pat alone is worth twice the price of admis sion. Glenn Anderson, Gerald Gsaves, Joseph Maxwell, Mary Lamar and Arline Heyd will give this play. Remember the 31st, be sure to come. You need the laughs and the school needs the piano. ♦ ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ LEGION TO HAVE SMOKER ♦ ♦ INVITE BUSINESS MEN ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ Next Friday night the local ♦ ♦ post of The American Legldn ♦ ♦ will hold their regular meet ♦ ♦ ing at the W.

AMERICANISM LECTURE GIVEN AT CITY HALL PRICE $2.00 A TEAS BAY CITY BOND ISSUE CARRIED Charter Amendments For $14 000 Bond Issue Carrys Without A Dissenting Vote MEN ACCIDENTLY FIND BODY Owing to weather conditions but OF PIONEER WOMAN WHILE a slight vote was cast at the election SMALL ARMY OF SEARCHERS at Bay City on the »14,000 bond WERE LOOKING ELSEWHERE Sufferings From Nervous Disorders Finally Lead To Act- According To Findings Of Coroner’s Jury Called In The Case The body of Mrs. Mary Goodspeed, who disapeared from her home on 4th street last Thursday night was found the following day in Hoquar ton slough near the old mouth of Trask river about 12:30 by Bert Thayer and V. Merrill, who had been clamming on Tillamook bay and were returning home at the time the body was discovered. The two men were trying to find a place to land their skiff when they ran across the body in about two feet of water, They did not know at the time who it was as they had left before the excitement over the disappearance of Mrs. Goodspeed occurred. The deceased had been in poor health for some time and had been heard to remark that she did not want to live to be a burden to any one. She suffered from a nervous breakdown several months ago, and it thought that the effects of this sickness led to her action. She was last seen alive about 11 o’clock Thursday night when mem bers of the family returned home. Friday morning she was missing and search was instituted throughout Tillamook and vicinity, but with no result. The waters of Hoquarton slough were dragged for some time Friday morning. A coroner’s jury which sat on the case Saturday brought in a verdict of death by drowning brought on by the action of the deceased. Mrs. Goodspeed, who has resided in this county for the past thirty years is survived by three children, Egbert Goodspeed, of Bay City, Mrs. Leland Erwin and Retta Goodspeed, the latter two of this city. Her hus- ban, Dan Goodspeed, died two years ago.

R’member BOOTS WE. issue, The issue was carried unani mous on a total casting of forty votes, This small vote was because of the heavy storm raging all day and but few peple had the courage to venture out and face the storm. The ballot provided for a charter amendment to allow the issuance of »12,000 in bonds to procure funds to redeem the outstanding warrant indebtedness of Bay City. The vote stood forty for the amendment and none against. But the amendment to the charter that provided for the issuance of «2000 in bonds to procure funds to make additional repairs to the municipal dock did not fare so well. It. was carried by thirty- nine votes for aad none against. Evidenty one of the forty voters overlooked this emendment. It is understood that as soon as the legal proceedure necessary to the issuance of these bonds has been completed, the city council will call for bids on these bondB, and the city treasurer will call for all outstand ing warrants. GARIBALDI MILL HAS STARTED The Whitney mill at Garibaldi started sawing operations Thursday. It is the largest mill in Tillamook county and has a daily capacity of 300,000 feet of lumber, Report has it that the mill will not be oper- ating to full capacity for at least 60 days. The mill proper and the log ging camp on the Kllchis river will furnish employment for about «00 men. Construction of the plant was started in 1918, but this is the first time that the mill has ever operated. The lumber now being cut is not for commercial purposes, but will be used for construction work and re- pairs about the plant, Many thous- sands of feet of planks will be used for the construction of platforms about the mill on which to pile lum ber. These platforms are to be upon pilings, and it is estimat- ed that it will require several weeks to complete this work. Rumor has it that the mill Is shortly to change hands. L. E. Garwood of Hebo was in the city yesterday. Mr. Garwood is in charge of Uncle Sam’s" trees in the forest reserve and states that he re cently sold 100.000 feet of alder from the government timber for furniture making purposes. —.. » , , —i t BENEFIT FOR HOME FOR CHILD REN ACCORDED BIG OVATION BY TILLAMOOK PEOPLE.
